Q and RPI in overtime.

Q and RPI in overtime.

Q wins in OT and Princeton lost in regulation, so now the two are tied in points going into next weekend

Bus at 10.04. What joy.

Caton Ryan's in good spirits, seems family made the trip.

This is the moment the camera caught up to Castagna, basically as he was already at the top of the circle. Nobody else was going to catch him.

I'd like to complete one trip to Lynah without hydroplaning on a random slick patch of sidewalk.

Today is not that day...

Anywho, on the bus, in one piece, headed home, will make myself breakfast when I get there <3

...Let the record reflect I am a dysfunctional law student, for anyone reading.

...And that I also need to make a Trader Joe's run for frozen chicken tikka masala.

Up to 9 in the NPI. 6 ECAC in the top 20 which helps with quality of wins and strength of schedule.  We play 4 of the other 5 the next two weeks.

Gutsy win. Say what you want about Keopple but he's stepped up for the most part. We're very lucky their guy was stupid enough to head to the bench after the penalties expired and just left Castagna open for the break. Even with a skeleton band these games are much better.

We went 4-0 in home non conference games that could've sunk our NPI, not we get to benefit by playing four top 20 teams through the next two weeks. This is where we can make huge jumps on the NPI and not even risk blowing the season if all goes wrong.

Beat Quinnipiac. I hate those MFs

I agree. 9th in the NPI is nice but the margins are very thin between us and like 16th so still much to be decided.

I'm not sure how shifts for the extra skaters are determined but we've repeatedly seen the extra skater come in for a sporadic shift and look shaky, often turning it over, ending up out of position, or taking a bad penalty. Not sure if there's a good solution other than waiting until garbage time to get these players shifts but there does seem to be a tradeoff between getting extra skaters ice time and actually winning the game. I don't blame the skaters, it's really hard to enter the game cold, but it's been noticeable. I'm surprised we aren't seeing Wolfenberg or Mosko who got ice time their freshman seasons.

I like Pirtle in the lineup as an extra scoring threat. This is overly facile analysis since obviously the coaches were keeping him out for a reason (defensive liability?), but it's nice to see him in the lineup because it gets us closer to BL's patented 9F/3D scoring threat threshold.

Will students be back for next weekend's games? It was nice to hear the band.

[stereax]

Students should be back by next weekend. Looking forward to it.

Keopple is... fine. He is not the reason we are winning (Cournoyer sometimes was). He is, however, critically, not the reason we are losing. Which is wonderful! I had low expectations. Have been happy.

We'll see how Courns is feeling before next weekend - he was not having a great time skating tonight at the end, but if he suited up for tonight that implies it isn't anything super serious. Hopefully.

Tonight Casty and Walshy led the charge, but overall we're getting a ton of scoring throughout the lineup. Yippee! Team seems to be "clicking" too.

Gorski wasn't bad. Had a few bad plays, but to be expected when you're playing both LD and RD in the same game with a rotating cast of partners. I wasn't terribly upset with his play.

Another thing I've noticed: just me or is Hiscock one of the slower skaters on the roster?

First on the ice: Keopple.

Courns IS on the ice taking warmups though, so good sign.

Off even earlier than usual doing even less. Had a talk with the health trainer too. But encouraging that he's on the ice.

I think he was talking to the trainer because one of the young fans had asked her about getting his attention and when he came off he brought a puck for the gentleman

I did see the puck, yeah! But assumed the trainer chat was independent of that. Good to know.

Long went down behind the play. Was floating in the tunnel. Probably won't take another shift in the first, we'll see about the second+third.

I think the coaching staff thought that he got speared.  They were looking up to the eye in the sky but were told to play on

Not speared. Stick up under the groin.
