ECAC Quarterfinals at Colgate

We are missing the elegantly twirling oak tree who parks above the slot and makes their goalie nervous enough that an oblique shot can get through.

I recall Psenicka doing that a whole bunch his freshman year and scoring multiple PPGs: not sure what happened since.

He still does it sometimes! My guess is this year, he's been injured a lot and that's why he's shying away from the grittiest areas.

Really liking our dogged forecheck so far: we've created quite a few chances by forcing turnovers and intercepting passes in the neutral zone.

Cornell still dressing a defenseman at forward and he's getting regular shifts. Yes, I know it's because DeSantis is out. But it continues to be nuts.

Honestly, that's the type of goal this team hasn't been scoring. Lacking a finishing-type of player like Moulson or Greening, this team has needed to score more dirty goals. Get two guys on the doorstep hacking away until it squibs in.

This announcer is actually excellent.

I have been impressed by O'Brien.  He knows what he is capable of and plays within his game. He's a good foot soldier and I have no compliants.

The thing is we do everything right except run some interference in front of the net.  We are missing the elegantly twirling oak tree who parks above the slot and makes their goalie nervous enough that an oblique shot can get through.

Even though we control possession we make it so easy for them.

I haven't heard the phrase "elegantly twirling oak tree" in far too long.

And there's the high slot tip we need but it's Colgate that does it on the PP. 2-1.

Let's not go a man down again please.

incredible to watch how simple that was as long as you don't have five guys hugging the boards

[Trotsky]

Con-FLAG-er-ation.  Hmm...

yup. fast pace, descriptive, full of information, nothing gratuitous or corny.

Well you me and Anne need to meet up in LP.  God willing.

Quite right, and something we'll need to figure out next season. It's not like we've never had a respectable power play, but whether it's personnel, structure, or both, it just isn't working for us.

It's not for lack of me yelling at them I'll tell you that much
