Army played very well, they are the real deal. Fortunately The friars got a real solid performance from Lackey. Army stifled the friars most of the game. Friars had 15 shots on goal and only 5 of those from the forwards..
Will need to play much better to compete with the Big Red tonite.
Re: Providence Friars - 2019-2020 Rebuilding The Friars for Another NCAA
A rematch of the Providence NCAA Regional final from a year ago. Of course the Friars are not nearly the same team with a lot of fire power having moved on to the Pros. Not sure what Cornell had coming back but guessing from their record and play this year probably most of the team. And they whacked a good OSU team last night.
PC did not generate a whole lot of offense last night but they played good defense and Lackey came up with big saves when called upon. Probably the same going to be needed tonight. Would be good to have Ford back on the top line, move Tyce back to second line as well as Needham to try to get more offense.
Game is 8:30 EST start according to the announcers last night, same time as the Pats....

From what I can they play 6 freshmen regularly with another for one reason or another getting to dress in over half their games. 7 of top 9 scorers are returnees including top 5. They still have same goalie and he’s played every minute.

Cornell’s goalie, Matt Galajda, was injured in last year’s ECAC Championship game so he did not play in the NCAAs against Providence.

Yup, not that it hurt the Big Red against Northeastern

While Providence “wins” the tournament of course it goes down as a tie record-wise

True...still even a tie for the young Friar team against #2 Cornell is a + going forward. Friars played a good game.
One more OOC against AIC in Springfield then it's all Hockey East games to finish the season. Hopefully they get a couple of the experienced guys back for the stretch run.

That they did. OSU kinda sleepwalked through the previous night, so it was good for Cornell to get a wake-up call against a strong opponent. I could see these two meeting again in the NCAAs.

The young guys are getting quite an introduction to college hockey, every game, no matter where played and no matter the opponent has been a real battle.

A little nervous about playing AIC in Springfield. they are 9-10-1 but they have a good home record and I'm cautious about these games since the Friars went to Worcester and lost to Holy Cross in overtime a few years back.

Friars va AIC tonight.
important game for PWR, not so much for going up more so for going down.
Nilsson out broken hand in Cornell game. O'Neill still out as well as Mirageas
game on flo hockey if you have it. 104.7 radio including Tune-in, Friar All Access if you have that. 7:05 puck drop

Made the trek out there. I was worried about whether the atmosphere of playing in a 7-8k seat arena with at best 1k people would hurt the Friars. After a pretty even first period, PC really took control of the game in the second dominating possession. AIC did make a little bit of a press to start the third period but Lackey came up with some solid stops.
Dugan continues to be a blessing while the bottom six on this team does need to just not give up goals and they will be a tough out in the NCAA tourney.
I thought Davis Bunz had a poor game tonight with multiple turnovers but Ford looked faster than I remembered and made several little plays.
Agreed on the bottom 6. However, we do need some production, especially when against the country’s best.
Sukumaran needs to start producing, he’s proven he’s done it before in the bottom 6 in previous seasons.
Fourth line has been doing a great job cycling, wearing down the d’s
We need some physicality there as well to really allow guys like Dugan and tyce to take advantage of tired teams late in games.
Overall, team is trending in the right direction, really promising.
