Don't know if I entirely agree with you Brian. I think we need to take a step back and say....... "Coming into the season, given the talent and roster; what was the expectation?" My expectation was one of two things.......either winning a title in Lake Placid....or, getting an NCAA berth." Both can still happen if the first happens. The latter doesn't appear to be capable of happening any more unless we win out in Lake Placid. I think any chance we had to move up on the PWR rested on beating two good teams in Cornell and the upcoming game against Harvard.
So given that expectation.........the story is yet to be written. My concern however is how the team has been playing the last few weeks. I'll be honest, based on what I saw tonight and last week and against Clarkson I don't see a team capable of winning out in Lake Placid or even in getting there. I know we are dinged up. I know we've had significant and long injuries. But the pace of play and look of the team does not at all seem to me like the team we saw over the first half of the year. I sure hope I'm wrong. I hope they can get the bye, heal up a bit and rest.....and make a run. But considering we've only played one game each of the previous two weekends resting up shouldn't be an issue. Hate to say it but I think we've underachieved given the expectation many of us had coming into this season. That can still get fixed but all the steps leading up to it happening lately have been missteps. And that doesn't bode well.
