Women's Hockey 2015

Confession: I've always loved the Brown announcer.

Well, there's someone for everyone.

He's a delightfully incredulous homer. But I suspect that I just appreciate the technical competence on the heels of the usual train wreck of the Yale student announcers.

[Iceberg]

I thought the men and women teams had different announcers for Brown. Or is this the astonishingly homer guy that does the men's games?

I think he's a fun listen for the same reason.

Anyone know why Saulnier, Fulton and Bunton didn't play last night.

It looked like Saulnier suffered some sort of injury in the game against Yale last Friday, but I was hoping she would be back for this weekend. Fulton and Bunton not dressing was a complete surprise.

And no answer on Cornell's write up on the game.

It was a courageous effort for Cornell (10-6-3, 8-2-2 ECAC Hockey, 5-1-0 Ivy League) which was missing three regular starters from the lineup, dressing just seven forwards in the contest.

Cornell women, down 2-0 with under 9 minutes left in the game, tie it with under 2 remaining, and win 3-2 in OT AT Colgate.

Fulton with the natural hat trick.

Great comeback win for the ladies over a frustrating Colgate team. 'Gate is a team that takes advantage of the inconsistent refereeing we have for women's ECAC games and pushes the physical play as far as the refs are willing to tolerate. The Raiders fiercely guarded their 1-0, then 2-0 leads with conservative defensive play, trying to prevent odd-man rushes, and goaltender Rando stopped play whenever she could.

Meanwhile at Harvard in the women's Beanpot, the Crimson are all over the Terriers 8-1 after 2 periods, which is very interesting considering the convincing win Cornell had over BU recently.

[Weder]

Colgate's had the Red on the ropes several times over the past couple seasons (at Hamilton last season and in a playoff series at Lynah the season before). I feel a tiny, tiny, tiny bit for them. (Eh, no I don't.)

Harvard finished off BU 9-2 to face BC for the Beanpot title.

Against Clarkson, SLU pulled their goalie with over 8 minutes remaining, which I've never heard of any coach trying. It paid off for 1 goal (with none allowed!!) but they needed to pot 3 to tie the Knights.

Back in the hockey-l days, there was a situation in a men's game the exact details of which I have forgotten, but I think it involved somebody like MTU or NMU, trailing by a huge score (6 or 7 goals) who pulled their goalie for most of or perhaps the entire third period.  The result was something like 3 goals scored and 4 given up, but hey, A for effort.

How about pulling the goalie with just a bit less than 5 minutes left.  In this case it did pay off for a while at least.  Trailing 2-0 in the third, a bench minor is called on your opponent and then this.

A very exciting 3-2 final.

If you're down by that much you might as well use the game as practice time and work on the extra attacker situation.  It's not like the goalie was stopping anything anyway.

[margolism]

Cornell women over Q 4-3 in overtime.

They were trailing 3-2 entering the third.  GWG with 40 seconds remaining in OT.

[dag14]

Women also had a goal disallowed.  Not sure why; high stick or kicked in?  Hard to tell from the replay that was available.
