Princeton 2012-13

Re: Princeton 2012-13

I can fill you in on the Ottawa players.
Karen MacDonald- Solid blueliner, not very flashy, isn't a big risktaker, very smart and safe player, has a great, low point shot.

Cristin Shanahan- Really hard worker, improves tremendously each year, will be the first player to go after a loose puck, good size, also a very positive and upbeat teammate.

Princeton schedule: http://www.goprincetontigers.com/SportSelect.dbml?SPID=4275&SPSID=46920&DB_OEM_ID=10600

Heavy home schedule in first half, making usual second half kick difficult. Will travel to Penn State, RIT, Robert Morris, and UConn. A two-game set with OSU is the only non-conference home games, which means they have only 13 of 29 games at home. Does any other team have that few home games?

REALLY difficult to get non-conference teams to go to Princeton for a game because of their location. There are quality opponents all over the map with better locations to get to, especially if you don't want to play a two game non-conference set against one team but want games against different teams. Quinnipiac is the only other team within reasonable travel distance for a Friday night/Saturday afternoon weekend and they don't seem that interested in working with Princeton.

Maine has a similar issue.

First trip to Baker for an exhibition against Brown. Team looked good in a 4-2 win. Impressed by rookies Karen MacDonald and goalie Kimberley Newell.
 
Re: Princeton 2012-13

In over ten years of attending games at Baker Rink, I've never seen the Tigers lay an egg like they did against Harvard yesterday. Either Harvard is very, very good or we're very, very bad. Probably a bit of both. I hope the frosh goalie isn't too traumatized.

I was at the Harvard men's game last night and when I checked on the women's game, I, too, was stunned by the final score. We've had some great teams over the years and have had a lot of trouble winning at Princeton. So last night's score was eye opening. And that was without our top two D who are out for the year.

My take? The Crimson are very good but I also think the Tigers are in for a long year. You might be headed for the bottom rung if things don't turn around quickly.
 
Re: Princeton 2012-13

Wow. Outshot 45-10 by Cornell. Princeton has played a tough schedule so far, but haven't shown much. This may be the year they don't collapse in the playoffs, because they might not be in the playoffs.
 
Re: Princeton 2012-13

A Princeton player was injured during the Cornell game Friday night and taken from the ice on a stretcher after a 20 min. delay. I was following the game on video with no audio and didn't get her name but hope she is okay. Can anyone provide an update?
 
Re: Princeton 2012-13

I have no idea who was injured, but in checking the box scores, Olivia Mucha was the only player who played against Cornell but not against Colgate. She's had some health problems (shoulder surgery among them). I certainly hope she's okay. The Tigers need her offense and they're very short-handed right now.

It was Olivia Mucha. She was taken off the ice on a stretcher into an ambulance. It was quite a lengthy delay because they didn't want to move her. Hope she's okay and I think op was looking for confirmation of that as well.

In yesterday's broadcast of the Cornell/Quinnipiac game, the announcer mentioned he had spoken with Kampersal. Mucha was evaluated, and she should be playing again soon.
 
Re: Princeton 2012-13

Wow, the Tigers almost pulled the upset against Clarkson. After getting blasted by St. Lawrence, they really were firing on all cylinders today, keeping up with the opposition. But, of course, they had trouble scoring. The only goal was on a penalty shot by Kelly Cooke, the first penalty shot I've seen the Tigers take in 12 years of attending games. That was worth the price of admission.

Drove up from Maryland expecting a Clarkson blowout of Princeton. Princeton played one heck of a game against Clarkson. Biggest thing I saw was that they kept their sticks on the ice and broke up a lot of Clarkson passes that could have lead to Grade A scoring chances. Both goalies were great all game. Kelly Cooke really impressed me. She was the smallest player on the ice at 5' 1" and looked like a midget hockey player with the bottom of her jersey nearly down to her knees. What a dynamo. I enjoyed watching her and the penalty shot she scored on was just outstanding, a laser wrist shot over Erica Howes glove hand into the top of the net. A goal scorers goal.
Clarkson's Jamie Lee Rattray is one outstanding hockey player. Got the game winner in OT. Some of the moves she put on the Princeton players were awsome and she really knew how to stick handle the puck. From a defensive standpoint, she also knew how to go into the corners and along the boards and would lift a Princetons players stick with hers and then get possession of the puck.

Anyway a very entertaining game by both teams.

Re: Princeton 2012-13

Terrific game by the Tigers against Ohio State today. They played with determination and confidence, and came up big in the third period with two goals. Kimberly Newell was masterful in goal, and makes me think the season will not be a total loss.
 
Re: Princeton 2012-13

The Jekyll-and-Hydes were at it again this weekend. Great game against Union on Friday, a 3-0 whitewash that was almost a perfect game. There were so many near-misses that it could have easily been 8-0.

So today they laid an egg against RPI, outskated and outclassed. But it was a weird and exciting game. RPI's first two goals were on breakaways (one of them short-handed). Down 3-0 in the third period, Princeton got back into it with two, count 'em two, shorthanded goals during the same penalty kill. Kelly Cooke got the first one on a steal by Corey Stearns, and then Stearns scored less than minute later on a steal by Cooke (Stearns took a shot and then knocked it in off her own rebound). RPI got another goal, and then Cooke scored late on an extra-attacker goal, and a flurry in the final seconds came up short.

The exciting finish didn't completely disguise that the Tigers played sluggishly and appeared to have no coaching whatsoever.
 
Re: Princeton 2012-13

Back at Baker after almost two months. Well played game by both Princeton and Yale tonight, and exciting finish as El Tigres won a big game, standings wise, which put them ahead of Yale and Colgate (temporarily, perhaps). Down 1-0 in the third, the Tigers got two goals in about four minutes, the game winner coming from Shanahan on a nice feed from Kinney. Butler added an empty-netter.
