Good game today. Yale didn't play great but they were certainly on their game enough to win.

Re: Yale Hockey 2010
I was at both games this weekend. Last night was about the best crowd I have ever seen at the Whale. A great game between two good teams, but as all the Q posters have noted on this blog, Yale really wanted it more.
The low spot was the penalty on Backman: he was pushed into Q's goalie and got assessed two minutes. Go figure. Clearly Donald's goal lifted the team, and the last ten minutes was just all Yale. An electrifying combination of skill and desire....
Today's game understandably lacked a lot of last night's energy. We had several chances we didn't convert, and we got lucky when they missed a couple of chances (and we had some awesome defensive plays, especially one by Digs where he dropped his stick to the ice and broke up a 2 on 1 breakaway that would have been a certain goal). The goalie looked pretty good, although that still seems to be our biggest issue.
Gotta love these 4 point weekends. If you look at Q's blog, their posters were concerned about the Brown game if they lost to us on Friday. How right they were.

Re: Yale Hockey 2010
Beating Q and then Princeton was a great went to head into the break.
A little less than halfway through the season, you have to be happy with the way this first half has gone. While we have had some disappointing losses/ties, overall with the exception of that first loss at RPI, we have two other 1 goal losses and have outscored our oppenents 52-35.
Looks like we are trying to decide between 2 Freshman Goalies now- Maricic and Malcolm. Still now sure why Blaise hasn't been given a start.
Looking forward to the second 1/2 of the season and making a run and the NCAAs.

I have no idea to be honest. The few I have came from the equipment manager.

I don't think those ones will have a Y on them.

Re: Yale Hockey 2010
A very good and solid way to start the second half with a dominanting win over a ranked Ferris State squad and then a tie with a strong Wisconsin team. Would have been nice to win the shootout and take home the last Badger Showdown Trophy, but nothing wrong with allowing the Wisconsin boys to celebrate a little as the trophies we now dream about are of a much larger caliber.
This team looked solid today against Wisconsin and goalie play seems to be improving. We again dominated the shots on goal and were able to score a goal in the last 5 minutes on the PP while trailing 2-1.
A run at repeating ECAC regular and post-season championships is certainly well within the potential of this team. Thereafter who knows, but I think it's time to start talking about this team as having a real shot to make significant noise on a national stage.

Very impressive team, boys. 65 minutes of college hockey; I think you had the better play for maybe 40+ minutes. A speedy, veteran team!
Who knows, we may meet again.............

Re: Yale Hockey 2010
Whats the deal with the low PWR ranking? After beating Ferris (#3 in these rankings) and a tie vs. UW (#5), why are the Elis so low. These are the rankings that determine which teams make the tourny.

Re: Yale Hockey 2010
Ivy's Best....ECACs Best....best in CT (although have to like what Quinnipiac is doing)....and currently Best in New England!
Pairwise will improve significantly as we move forward.

Re: Yale Hockey 2010
The math I prefer is wins and losses. I also like to look once and awhile at #s 1-10 of the USCHO polls. That's where I get my conclusions.
All the other math is just to 'fuzzy' for me.
And you still can't do the math??

Re: Yale Hockey 2010
Dartmouth has been on a slide recently, let's hope they don't save their good stuff for Sunday. The guys really look solid right now, and if they can sweep their Ivy foes over the next three games--certainly a good chance if they are in sync--then we will be close to the top of the ECAC with plenty of season left.
The goalie situation seems to be settling in on our two freshmen netminders, which obviously bodes well for the future.
I will be at Dartmouth Sunday to watch the game. Is anyone else going there or to Boston? The Brown game should be fun given the re-dedication of Ingalls that night.

Early in the morning on weekends, many things (....not only my math) tend to me a little fuzzy.
