Syracuse Season 2

Allright Syracuse fans, Lets look at what we can expect for season 2.

7 new recruits wll be added to the roster this year. I have seen all but 2 play and I can say great job by the staff.
These new recruits will bring different talents to the team.
Rushing defenders....power forwards.....skill and lots of moxy in the corners.
I am going out on a limb to predict an improved record to a
.500 season and possibly a second place finish in the CHA.
Tough way to start the season though going out west.:D
Also can't wait to see who they will add for next year.
 
Re: Syracuse Season 2

I think Syracuse is better than the 4th ranking by the CHA coaches. Just my two cents....

Do you see them at #3, or with WSU's heavy graduation losses, do you think they can rise to 2nd?

WSU was hit hard with graduation, really hard. If I have learned anything from watching women's hockey over the years is if you don't have that sniper, goals are hard to come by. I really think WSU will struggle this year. Robert Morris is a good team, and maybe on paper they are better than Syracuse, but I wouldn't be surprised if Syracuse ended in second.

It will be a battle for second between SYR,RMU and WSU. SYR has improved depth and RMU has added some talent as well. I think it will be long year WSU. Mercy will be the at the top of the league but without their #1 gun it will be closer than people think.
 
Re: Syracuse Season 2

I was very impressed with the Orange this weekend. A great comeback vs. BC and a very tough last second loss against UNH. In both games they played a very aggressive, in your face game (reminiscent of St. Lawrence, big surprise there) allowing the opposition little time and space. Should be a very good second season for this program.

I think the Big Orange is a very good thing for D-1 women's hockey. At the 15ish minute mark of the 3rd period, I was resigning myself to the fact that they ('Cuse) were going to beat us (UNH). Despite a UNH advantage in play, Syracuse, ala St. Lawrence, did not give up, played a tight, physical game, and only with an effort capable of an experienced team, UNH was able to pull out he W. No reason to think this team is not a contender. They will beat teams. It's gonna happen. Get ready.

What a goal by Paton to win the game.... too bad it was on power play that should not have happened. Less than 2 minutes left in a tie game...Syracuse defender trips and falls into UNH player to get body checking... oh well.
1 of 5 penalties for Syracuse in the period...Live by the sword die by the sword. Congrats UNH.

It was a strangely called game. A lot of uncalled activity in the first 40 minutes, then apparently UPS delivered the whistles for the start of the third.
 
Re: Syracuse Season 2

Finally the hard work pays off with a 3-1 win over Prov.
Only read the game on Game Tracker. Did anyone see the game? Was it as close as it appeared on the stats?:D

Quarterly report and so far so good. 3 straight wins against teams receiving votes. The loses all close games. They need to stay out out of the penalty box. This is tough to do when you are playing the style they are winning with. Keep it up Orange.:D
 
Re: Syracuse Season 2

Saturday's victory over Princeton was the 250 of Coach Flanagan's career. Congratulations and best wishes for many more to come.

.605 overall halfway thru your 2nd season of D-I is pretty **** good...so far, looking like a pretty quick move to being competitive every game for Syracuse.
