Opponent News 18-19

January opponent Arizona State started their season well.

Arizona State appears to have an impressive schedule.  I assume they are an independent--is this their first season in D1?

Arizona State appears to have an impressive schedule.  I assume they are an independent--is this their first season in D1?

According to Wikipedia they've been a D-I independent since 2015-16 (after winning the ACHA title in 2014-15) and have been playing a full D-I schedule since 2016-17.

I don't think this was caught in the last thread when we discussing Colton Point leaving, but Heisenberg's latest page shows Colgate, desperate for goaltending, lost their top rated incoming defenseman via decommit to BU.

Traded for two minor league players and a third round draft pick.

Will "'snot you fawt, Wew!" Friend is clearly there to pull up the team GPA.  A physics major among Econ majors.  Hope he and McAvoy (English) hit it off -- nobody else to talk to on long bus rides.

Whatever they have was good enough to score two in the third period and come from behind to beat New Hampshire at home 2-1.

Q beat UConn last night. Game included this hit, which I assume is the 5 plus 10 for charging in the box score.

The Cantabrigian-monikered Brogan Rafferty, junior defenseman. How that's only a misconduct is beyond me. Calls out for some "supplemental discipline."

I can't say it's never happened, but I feel like I don't see us pull that Scott Stevens BS that often. And I have an idea that Schafer would bench a player that did that for at least a game.

Looked like a good clean hit to me. Kept his hands down and all. A hard hit isn't necessarily a dirty hit. Not sure how it could be called charging given he coasted into him.

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

Hard to say.  I think the Deer-tick D-man led with his shoulder a bit, but the U-Conn player was smaller and was also hunched over so his head was in a more vulnerable position.

In the heat of the moment, probably a good call.  IMHO no supplementary discipline needed, but your mileage may vary.

Very good night for the conference, going 4-0-0 with three upsets over top-20 teams:
 

SLU 4 Holy Cross 3

Clarkson 4 ^#15 Wisconsin 2

Quinnipiac 1 ^#18 BC 0

^#20 Union 4 at ^#12 Northeastern 3 (ot)

[upprdeck]

does this make Guelph better than Wisc?
