All we need. We don't whine about soft ice, only winning 2-1. We don't have to make 5 posts after every goal, and we didn't need to pump our thread with posts about basketball (ick) either. Take that!

Had no idea our devoted posters irked you so much with their volume of comments and updates. Start recruiting more "wick" fans to remedy your unhappy state.
And congrats on laying the smack on Castleton.

So did I and still feel bad for the Castleton Goalies- all three of them hung out to dry by their teammates on the ice.
What happened to Castleton??? They were so flat and ineffective throughout the whole game. Even after Dan Bell's goal, there was no life in the team, and Bell skated by us and looked relieved to have the puck go into the net.They were so hopeless. Never in my mind did I expect we would have a game like this with Castleton. I was sure that it would be a one or two goal difference at the end. Maybe its the fact that this was the first conference championship game they have been in, maybe they were nervous, maybe there is no excuse other than an off game.
I have to say that Castleton played a lot cleaner than usual and that really surpised me as Norwich scored again and again. I did see one hit in particular (Colin Mulvey taken down in the corner and hit in the head by a Castleton player while he was still down) that made me worried that the game was going to get out of hand, but it didn't. Castleton has been working on their penalty issues and that was very evident tonight.
Castleton has proved that they can be a real contender and now they are adding class to that. You have had a great season and I am sure there will be some more hard fought battles in the future between Norwich and Castleton. I am looking forward to them already.

Norwich changed goalies with 8 minutes remaining in the game.

There was a lot of chippy dirty stuff going on behind the play that you must have missed. Not to mention that little contretemps that happened at the start of the third period. I didn't feel bad for Castleton for exactly that reason. They didn't clean up their act. They came out good, we rang up 3 quick goals and they gave up. I'm not sure why Todd kept changing goalies. It wasn't the goalies' fault. The last 10 minutes or so, except for the fourth line, which kept digging the Cadets were just trying to keep the clock moving and stay away from trouble. I think if they hadn't done that, the scene could have gotten ugly. My biggest fear was that somebody on Castleton would start something that would lead to a brawl and having to sit somebody out next week.

I never would have quessed a 11-1 thumping over Castleton last night.
Castleton’s lose to Norwich 11-1 last night was the largest defeat for Coach Alex Todd in his seven years at Castleton. Previous worst lose was 8-1 in the 2010 Cardinal Classic. Worst overall lose for Castleton was the 16-0 spanking Norwich gave Castleton in the 2005 ECAC East Quarters. 2005 was the first year Castleton was in the ECAC East and Greg Stone was coach before Todd took over the reins.

Ted Ryan of the Burlington Free Press article of the game. Norwich was clicking on all cylinders for this one. Castleton D gave the Norwich forwards a ton of room to maneuver around the net which generated a lot of good scoring chances. I have seen Castleton play a number of times this year and could't inderstand why Erich Cinotti wasn't in net. He is a proven goaltender who has had a lot of big games for Castleton. Someone told me the freshmen was been playing since they last lost to Norwich. Norwich D play may be overlooked but this is the best they have lookded in some time controling the puck in there zone. Norwich depth and team speed was something Castleton could not handle this night on Norwich's big ice surface. Justin Alonzo is a great player for Castleton but the rough stuff has to go. These out of control penalties are helping the other team and hurting Castleton. Castleton top line of Nick Lazorko, Dan Bell, and Justin Alanzo played good but Norwich gave special attention to controlling them and played much more defensive when ever they were on the ice.

I will say that I was pleasantly surprised that CSC didn't go into goon mode in the 3rd....I will say I told you guys CSC was on the down swing....I knew Norwich was going to win by at least 5 last night.....My pick-em score of 6-0 was generous....

At the end of the first period Puck Voice said, during the NSN broadcast, that "we had witnessed perhaps the most flawless period of hockey that Norwich had played all season." Obviously, all the superlatives heaped on the Cadets about the entire game only echo George's first observation. Wow that is what I will always remember about the Cadets in this game.
But then George made an equally insightful observation near the close of the game when he said, “I almost feel sorry for Casteton.” However, a moment later after two CSC players were jamming Colin Mulvey (I believe) who was down on the ice and up against the boards... George then added, “I take back what I said a moment ago about feeling sorry for Castleton.” That added to their goalie drawing a un-sportsman like penalty while Dough Lindensmit (I believe) was also down--sums up exactly how I will always remember CSC in this game--pity that evolved into anger.
Maybe no DIII team could have stopped the freight train that skated for Norwich last night. However that does not excuse Castleton because while they can point to the polls or season scoring, power play, and defensive stats—they just cannot get past the penalty box when up against quality. For example in back to back loses to Plattsburg--CSC drew 48 minutes of penalties.
During the season CSC killed 86.3% of all penalties against all opponents. However--and I am not sure this is important -- 8 of the 21 goals NU has scored against CSC in our three games this season have been power play goals. Doesn't 8 goals based on 24 penalties translates into a penalty kill percentage of 66%? I stand corrected if I am wrong in this comparison as stats are not my forte. Or maybe it is too isolated a fact or detracts from NU's own superb power play statistics to be relevant
Bottom line? CSC has been weight, measured and found wanting three times this season by Norwich—and now it is time to move on a focus on the next game. Roll on Cadets...roll on!
