Decent comeback in the second after a horrible first period, penalties continue to haunt the team. The Captain has been taking too many cheap ones himself and is getting rung up for diving at a record pace. Only takeaway is that Yale gets another series at Ingalls next weekend.
Only saw the first 10 minutes of the game and Yale was skating like they were stuck in the mud. I was surprised it ended up close.
The two goals in 30 seconds near the end of the 2nd turned a close game into a rout.
Dartmouth is not a bad offensive team, but their D-Men can't handle even a mild forecheck. Yale kept the pressure on all night and it produced results. Nice to see the seniors get some goals in the twilight of their Ingalls careers, absolute snipe by Hayden. Tucker played well, but his rebound control was non existent. Di Chiara was hurt and returned, but then was shut down later, hopefully he can make it back Saturday.
Sadly you are mostly correct in your assessment of the Big Green's D coughing it up including one that put the game away to make it 4-1, 30 seconds after scoring a PP goal. There are only a few D that can routinely get the puck with a clear and clean exit our of D zone. Also agree with your assessment on Tucker; the final box tally was 1 GA but the Big Green had a lot to do with those on Grade A chances putting it right in his crest. Hayden's goal was a NHL variety, curling off the off wing wall with speed and bringing the puck down with his glove, and rifling a lazer short side high. Buffalo gave up too much of the short side. I thought the hit on DiChara was a bit late (unsuspecting player), interference. Hopefully he is back tonight.

Tucker saved Yales bacon for sure. Still too many lapses that made him have to make spectacular saves. Dartmouth also hit three solid posts while Yale hit two. Great clean series by both teams who are somewhat alike except Yale has some better finishers. If anyone who was watching online could tell me what the review/ delay was about where the refs left the ice, let me know.
