I think part of the reason that Cournoyer has such a high save percentage is that the scouting report on him might be that rebound control is a weaker part of his game. I remember from my brief scan of film on him before he came in this year that he seemed a bit prone to rebounds, so maybe that's why teams are taking so many shots and why Yale and Brown end up outshooting us even though we dominate most of the game. Of course, he has been phenomenal this year, and also has been good with rebound control in my eyes, so maybe I'm just off base.

Completely off topic, I found myself completely forgetting about guys like Mosko, Wolfenberg, Donaldson and Murray. Speaks to how good the freshman class is this guys that previously cracked the lineup and have way more experience haven't seen the ice at all this year.

Marshall is trailing UCF, so if that holds it could help us creep up.  However, Georgetown is leading UConn, so that hurts unless UConn drops a ton with a loss.

Does somebody want to write a "You are the committee" for soccer?   

it's bouncing around so much - we're back to 20 with remaining games that make us more likely to fall than rise, imo. we were 23 in the coaches' rankings going into the game so i don't see any path to top 16. so it goes. at least we should play at home in the first round again.

The committee tends to have a very different opinion than the coaches poll so I don't think it's entirely out of the realm of possibility. But, in practice, a first round game against someone like Lafayette isn't a whole lot different than a bye, but it does suck for the guys who appear to be nursing injuries like Miller and Johnson.

Martin got fried and Friedberg could've had that one. Not liking our odds to score against this defense.

Big time game at 11 am tomorrow. If we can win this one we can beat anyone

First home sweep since the North Dakota series to open last year.

I like how coach Jones has been balancing the lines a lot, not stacking the first two and leaving the bottom 6 to struggle. He's even been using the extra skater with Walsh on the first line which I like a lot. He's also not afraid to play our best players a lot so Stanley and Veilleux see pretty much half the game. I'm not so sure about starting the fourth line but hey as long as we keep winning. I do love seeing Devlin out there though, he lives for the hits and I'm finally getting to see why he was drafted out of prep.

ECAC 4-0 non con today. Up to .475 on the season. Even though Omaha, BU and Alaska don't look like the teams we probably hoped they would be when we scheduled them, we have a fighting chance for an at large bid thanks to the conference turning it on a bit.

All wins count the same. I'd rather not have Yale and brown outshoot us but oh well. Long needs to get that monkey off his back

Can't be turtling like this against Brown and Yale. Sure ain't gonna fly against Quinnipiac and BU.

Not Castagnas best game today

We will almost definitely get a bye with a win. The committee also doesn't use RPI as strictly as hockey so that should favor us with our good record/weak schedule combo.

The one thing that pisses me off so much on the power play (not just with us every team does it) is how right at the last second of the power play, they force a shot. This is by far the stupidest time to shoot because if it gets blocked the other team has a free breakaway, and you have a few seconds before the guy out of the box gets back to the defensive zone anyway.

There has been a cowbell person, but whatever they're striking sounds like a soup can, not an actual cowbell, so it's barely audible even if you're on that side of the rink.

He also had a sense of rhythm comparable to a farm animal with a few extra chromosomes.

I think our usual guy will be back next week.

Good win, love seeing Ryan do what he's been doing, it's so nice when freshmen are pleasant surprises, speaking of which, like DiGiulian and Cournoyer. It was funny to see Gio apologize after the period for selling what could've been an goalie assist.

Crowd was big but yeah pretty quiet. That'll happen when you have a half band, no cowbell guy, and a shitty opponent. Tomorrow is already sold out and we have some low hanging fruit with daddy's money and UConn rejects chants so it should be a little better.

Wonder what's up with Major.

I would imagine tomorrows net has to go to Cournoyer.
