Yale Bulldogs 2018-2019

Kaz, does not seem to handle breakaways either. Yale outplayed Union, but could not finish, nice to see them wake and put away UConn after a pivotal 5-3 kill. I beginning to like the fight and stamina of this years team.

I did think they played well against Union. After the Dartmouth game and the first two periods I was beginning to wonder if they would ever score. Certainly Yale spent most of the game in Union's end of the ice.

Missed the UConn game, but was glad to see the 6 goals when I got home.

How much time did you spend overseas?

Been here since last Tuesday, returning tomorrow. Great trip, a little cool. About 5-6k at each game, great atmosphere.
 
Re: Yale Bulldogs 2018-2019

Yale was lucky to escape with a "W" against SLU last night. THe roughing call at the end was borderline and hard to see on the archaic SLU feed, especially with no replay available. Not sure what Morris (or someone else) said to eventuate the double minor, but it cost SLU the game. Yale played very well for the first period and a half until they seemed to tire and allow SLU to cycle, leading to defensive lapses and goals. It will be interesting to see how Yale holds up tonight against a bigger more physical team.

Missed the game. Just glad to get a win.

After looking over the box score I'm wondering. Does Yale have more power play goals this year already then they did all of last year? I bet it's close.
 
Re: Yale Bulldogs 2018-2019

A great weekend, two huge games next week vs. Union and UMASS. They can't overlook RPI either, Yale always has trouble with that team. I like the fact that the scoring has been spread amongst the lines, also St Ivany and Kemp have certainly solidified the defense.
 
Re: Yale Bulldogs 2018-2019

Solid win. Pretty much never in doubt, even at 2-1

Big game for Justin Pearson. Freshman are making a difference this year.

Great game for Pearson and the Smith brothers threw their weight around causing havoc. The fourth goal by the twins was a perfect steal and pass, a great reward for all of the hard work tonight. I thought the entire team let down in the second period and were lucky to escape that period with no goals against. Curtis Hall did not play tonight, hope he was a healthy scratch.
 
Re: Yale Bulldogs 2018-2019

Two very good weekends back to back

First shutout I can remember in a long time, congrats to Tucker.

Snivley all over the box score again.

Looking forward to Tuesday. I know I get Eleven Sports and NESN

Looks like I will be taking a ride on Tuesday! Yale pretty much dominated Union tonight. The forecheck was absolutely tenacious and took Union completely out of their game. The shorthanded putback by Snively was an absolute backbreaker and the penalty kill was stellar. Tucker had a few great saves on grade A chances, but Union also whiffed on a couple of gaping nets. Gonna be interesting to see who Keith puts in net on Tuesday.
 
Re: Yale Bulldogs 2018-2019

Big game tonight with UMass, it will be interesting to see how both teams recover from some tough games this past weekend. The game is on NESN+.
 
Re: Yale Bulldogs 2018-2019

Good luck tonight !!! Your going to be exhausted from the weekend but can do it. Snively is awesome !!! We have a few "snipers" but they have not yet shown up this year.
 
Re: Yale Bulldogs 2018-2019

Pretty dominate performance by A verygood UMass team. If not for Tucker, score would have been higher, a few Homer calls and non calls by the HE crew also did not help, kudos to UMass for taking advantage. Yale took half the game to somewhat figure things out and the two goals to tie it in third gave a little false hope. Turning point was the holding call on Yale in the O zone while they were buzzing. Sad end to the first half, but still a better record for Yale than most predicted.
 
Re: Yale Bulldogs 2018-2019

While penalties may have been questionable, I can't go there. Reality was, Yale was outplayed. No disgrace as UMASS is talented and they deserved the W. Did leave me disappointed as Yale had been playing well. Was hoping for more versus UMASS on the heels of their excellent effort versus Union. Great watch. Terrific up and down game from start to finish. While this year's team is improved over last year, may have been overly optimistic. No real stars beyond Snively but the rest have brought a better level of play this year, creating some depth. St. Ivany is going to be special.


I'd also like to ask if anyone knows why Chip Malafronte of the New Haven Register has taken a limited role with his sports and in particular his college hockey reporting. He's quite good. No more Sunday Gravy. Isn't covering Yale or Q on a game by game basis. Haven't seen him in the press box. He brought an identity to college hockey in our area. An occasional local article but no beat reporting. Leave it to the Register to mess up a good thing. So fortunate to have the level of D1 hockey in the area and they decide to pull back. That new columnist Jacobs must get paid by the article. Non stop. Please stop! I'll stop.

The subject of Malafronte was brought up on the Yale Hockey FB page, from what was said there, he is recovering from a health issue and is still employed at the NHR. I agree that Yale was overmatched against UMass, but the call against Yale when the game was 3-2 was the pivitol point of the game. That and also that Snively had zero shots on goal, they really took him out of the game. I believe Yale is ranked in about the right spot on USCHO and the pairwise. My hope is they end up improving after this speed bump and make the tourney in the lower third of the field.
 
Re: Yale Bulldogs 2018-2019

Sorry to hear that about C. Malafronte. Here's to a speedy and full recovery. Thanks, LT. And I agree with your assessment. They're a capable team with grit.
 
Re: Yale Bulldogs 2018-2019

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - ECAC Hockey today announced that exhibition game featuring Yale versus the KRS National Development Team from China has been canceled. The game was originally scheduled to be played at Ingalls Rink at on December 28 at 7pm.

According to the conference, the decision to cancel the game is the result of the national development team being unable to field a representative team. The game will not be re-scheduled.

Yale has scheduled a replacement exhibition game with McGill on Saturday, Dec. 29, at 7 p.m. at Ingalls Rink. Tickets for Dec. 28 will be honored on the 29th. Please call the Yale Ticket Office (203.432.1400) with any questions.

“I am excited that we were able to find a replacement game for our Yale fans and season ticket holders,” said Vicky Chun, Yale’s Thomas A. Beckett Director of Athletics. “It’s virtually impossible to host a game at this late a date, and I thank Wayne Dean, Deputy Director of Athletics, for his great effort in bringing McGill to the Whale.”

The first-place Bulldogs (7-3-2 overall), currently off for the holiday break, were No. 15 in this week’s USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine National Poll.
