Brown also plays more forward.  Yale had no attempt at a forecheck.

I thought I was at a Panthers game with the Brown forecheck. Glad to be on the board. A few scary moments but we're looking less bad. Just me or does it feel like Kempf (4) has had an abysmal game? Also, Yale's 10 got hit in the facemask by a puck and I think they pulled him from the game. Ouch.

I'll miss Pass... FAIL!  That was a wonderful cheer.  Maybe the students have no memory of Brown 1970's grading practices anymore.  :-)

[Trotsky]

Hey, we always take that penalty!

[Trotsky]

Bancroft has 15 shot attempts and 6 SOG.

[Trotsky]

OK guys.  Do it.

[BearLover]

Wow, horrible defensive breakdown by Brown and Cornell averts a Pairwise disaster

[Trotsky]

Nice to get the 3 derp points.

[stereax]

We take those. Bancroft what a game. Shoot the puck. Good things happen when you shoot.

After a full season of Mets fan doomerism and then this past week, this can't be an entire season of pouting every time we're tied with a mediocre team. Life's too long to live this way.

Phew, crisis averted. Dartmouth and Harvard are firing on all cylinders so Schafer better whip the boys into shape for next weekend so we can come out of there with at least a win.

I'm going to give people a break this week. It's been a fucking death march.

When we play Dartmouth next Friday it will be the PWR #4 at #3.

Great crowd tonight as well. Couldn't tell how many students there were from our side but townies showed up at least. Got quiet for a bit when we didn't really have anything going but it livened up once we got chances

[Big Dingus]

Crowd was half empty lol.

And agree with Bearlover, this team has not looked good. Will be lucky to escape with a point next weekend.

Four point weekend anyone?

If I were them I would take the first eight seconds vs Yale and the last minute against Brown and then burn everything in between.

We dominaated that game in every category and in possession time.  Goals and wins aren't always going to go our way.

Unless as a team and as a fan base we have decided to move the goal posts on what being dominant is, there wasn't a single facet out of four games so far that would fit the Schafer era standard for domination.  This weekend there was no offensive zone cycle.  No forcheck.  Little to no physicality save for a stretch during the second period tonight.  No breakout.  No cohesiveness in any zone.  Not much to speak of on the power play.  They have had end results winning three out of four games but there is so much that remains to be desired about the right way to play and what we know it will take to win in late March and hopefully early April.  Last year they successfully blended a ton of freshman into a pretty young lineup and it was exciting and there was a methodology to how they played.  This year so far a team of nearly all returning players is struggling to find similar footing.  Sure there are injuries but there is plenty of experience in this current lineup to be able to re-establish their identity.  Yes it's early but I was really caught off guard this weekend by how much they struggled to execute in the areas that don't require excessive skill.  Robertson to Bancroft saved this from being a lost weekend.  Hopefully the first road trip of the season will help them rediscover the process.

Ah, I see you did not watch the game
