Sorry. Harvard and Dartmouth are both good teams. I made a similar mistake earlier in this thread when I sounded shocked by RPI's loss to Holy Cross....not realizing that HC has a pretty good team this year as well. It just demonstrates that i haven't been following college hockey as closely this year as I have done in the past. Feel free to ignore my posts until I get back into it.
hab, you're no more at fault than we Crimson fans are for thinking that RPI was a pushover.Sorry. Harvard and Dartmouth are both good teams.

We are not a scoring powerhouse and we have our deficiencies on defense which allows some rather weak goals. But you are correct, we are not a pushover. Mostly because when we lost 2 very physical players (Trnkova and Skoda) their roles on the ice have been ably replaced by others like Keating, Toye, Bailey and several others. We may lose many more games than we win, but there are a large number of ladies who are nursing some bruises as they skate off the ice after playing against us.
You're forgiven. Heck, the ECAC doesn't look like it has a dominant team this year. Outside of Cornell, perhaps?Sorry. Harvard and Dartmouth are both good teams.

Sad, but true. The final 4 this year might be all from WCHA!
Agree with you. Where was Kendall Davidson?
Absolutely agree. This team plays, wins or loses together as a team. You can see it with every game. My own feeling however is that the girls create that atmosphere themselves.
Doctor, I always enjoy reading your insightful posts, but I have to respectfully disagree with this. The culture in a locker room is deeply enhanced and developed by the leadership at the top. It filters down and permeates throughout the team. If team's have strong leadership in the locker room, this culture exists and everyone is on the same page supporting each other ... if there is not strong leadership in the locker room, dissension exists and you have a fractured team. This strong team cohesion may result in more wins, however, there are other very important factors which determine wins/losses.
Cannot find a single thing in this post to disagree with but from what I have seen that leadership from the top for this year and the last few years has been mostly coming from the senior classes. It has to really difficult to have losing records year after year but somehow the girls always try to give an upbeat outlook during interviews and offer encouragement throughout the games and sincere congratulations as they cheer on the others on the team. Having watched every game for many years I wish I could say I seem the same from the coaching staff. If I am missing something I offer my apologies.
