Yale Hockey 2017-2018 Season Thread

Winnable game got way. Need to finish strong next week.

It was winnable but Yale really has no answer for a big team that cycles. Too many long stretches of possession in the Yale end tonight. Lost faceoffs cost them dearly as well, they were outplayed in virtually every statistical category except for save percentage. Kaz kept it close.

Faceoffs were a big problem. On the other hand, if you told me Yale would have two power play goals I would have expected a win.

I still think Saturday ECAC games on the road are the toughest to win.

I think many of the teams will go 1-1 over the weekend, the team in the middle of the pack that somehow manages 4 points, will win out obviously. Both games should be great at Ingalls this weekend, with the possibility of a Yale- QU matchup in the first round.

Speaking of the Rangers, they just traded for Rob O'Gara. Gave up Nick Holden. Clearly the Bruins felt that long term, O'Gara isn't the answer for the left side of their D. He'll get more of an opportunity with the Rangers especially if they deal McDonaugh.

It will be interesting to see where he ends up in the Rangers system, I don't know enough about the Wolf Pack to say whether O'Gara would be jumped by someone on that depth chart. Arcobello with a goal for the US last night and some nice work by O'Neil and Little to help the USA advance to the Olympic quarterfinals, they will have their hands full with the Czech team.

Some NHL front office type should take a long look at O'Neill. He was great against the Czechs. One inch lower and the US is still playing. With his speed and shot, a team like LA or Minnesota could really benefit.

Beat Harvard, that is the only option left. The defense better wake up, Tucker did not deserve that.

Nice win, even if Harvard didn't have much incentive. Yale is still taking too many penalties.

. It was a great night. Nice to be back after a year away taking care of my pops. Alive and finally on the mend. Same could be said for the team. I see them rounding into some sort of form - played a tough minded game tonight & closed it out. Will be interesting to see how far this group can go.

I hope your Dad is getting better. This team has gotten better as the season progressed with a few bumps in the road. Tickets are already on sale for next weekend on the Yale website. Season ticket holders check for the offer in your Yale account.

Thank you. After a year in & out of hospitals, four falls, congestive heart failure, a broken femur & hip - sheesh - he has finally progressed into fully assisted living. We watched Cornell game together on big screen I bought him. Tonight I went with just the wife & daughter - been at his side every day since last Sept - tonight was first night off. He said "Go." Last night took him to see "Darkest Hour" - first night out this year. Just didn't have enough energy to go tonight. We'll see if he's up for Q on Fri night. If you see two devilishly handsome gents - one with a wheelchair & oxygen (who knows, it might be me after a stop at Eli's...), you'll know it's us.

I just spent two weeks in FL caring for my Dad post surgery, it sounds like you have had a tougher go of it. They took care of us, now it’s our turn. Glad you got out.
 
Re: Yale Hockey 2017-2018 Season Thread

The team rebounded nicely after a horrific start on Friday vs. Dartmouth. The defense was absent--literally handing the puck to Dartmouth in front of an open net. Nothing Tucker could do on those. With that said, was Kaz's performance on Saturday vs. Harvard, I think he needs to the the starting goalie in the playoffs. He's played well overall, and been strongest against the better teams--Harvard and Cornell.

Agree on the goalie Ben, Kaz is a much better positioned keeper and tends to stay on his feet better than Tucker, he is also much better at handling pucks behind the net. It will be interesting to see how Allain handles it, the plan has been Tucker on Friday in the past, maybe switch that up and ride Kaz if he performs.
