RPI vs. Harvard, Shillelagh Tournament, 11/28/15

Re: RPI vs. Harvard, Shillelagh Tournament, 11/28/15

Harvard has slowed this game down to a walk. We need to pick it up if we are going to have a chance.

This does not seem like a team that is overwhelming us. it just appears that they are a team skating to the puck and we are a team waiting for the puck to come to us.

This is all a plan to get Harvard overconfident for the game which counts next week. :)

Does anyone think that Kasdorf should play the 3rd period to get some practice?

No. They have completely exposed all the weakness this defense has. Give them credit as they are simply making the plays and getting to the pucks that we should be clearing

Period ends thankfully.
That may have been our worst period of the year. Harvard is good, but we put up no resistance.
Three goals from inside three feet. That cannot happen.
I would guess that Kazdorf will get some ice time in the third period. Hackett has seen enough. (and he wasn't to blame on any of the four goals).

And although the forwards may have missed a few back checking assignments, this was from my viewpoint a complete defensive corp that just did not skate to the puck with any intent. Harvard beat them to every loose puck, won every battle on the boards and set up all their own chances. if this is how we will play them during the ECAC season, the games will not even be this close. Our forwards have come up ice well but Harvard's defense has taken away most of the lanes to pass and forced us to the outside. We have not extended them the same. We have allowed them to gain the zone and then criss cross until they get a free puck in close. Cam has done what he could but all 6 defensemen have not. We have been outshot and the troubling think is as you mentioned, most of their shots are coming from 3-5 feet from the goal.
