Quote from: CU2007 on February 14, 2026, 08:26:24 PMSomething seems very wrong with this team. Is anyone hurt besides Devlin?
Most likely they were never actually good and just played a very easy schedule and didn't dominate anybody in that schedule, they basically just barely beat a bunch of bad teams and are now reverting to the mean.
Last I checked, we don't have Drake Maye under center...
Similar concept tbh. We actually have zero good wins this season. We tied Dartmouth (beating them in OT at home is equivalent to a tie), lost handily to Quinnipiac, beat a bunch of mediocre to bad teams and didn't dominate the metrics in basically any of them. Dartmouth/Harvard weekend was when I thought we might actually be a top 10 team but that was illusory, in part because Dartmouth and Harvard have been bad since then.
All I can say is this - we'll only need four good wins all season when (if? yikes) we make the NCAAs...

They've got 20 minutes to erase a 3-goal deficit.

Cue the Clarkson jokes.

I wish we had better stats the CHN's xG metric but I suspect if you plotted all the teams' xG minus xGA and adjusted for SOS we'd be middle of the pack. So that explains why we're tying RPI and getting crushed by Union despite our "good record."

I'd like to note that these announcers said top to bottom, the ECAC is the most competitive conference in college hockey.

Have we considered these announcers may be wrong?

Quinnipiac and 11 mediocre teams makes for a competitive conference

They're the official broadcast announcers for Union College. If we can't trust them, who can we trust?

The ECAC deadass has some of the most putrid teams in hockey right now. And no, that doesn't include us. After the Q/C/D/H/P clump, nobody's really that good.

Brutal weekend for Charlie Major continues, lines up a hip check on D, Union player easily dances around him and skates to the goal unmolested.

Abysmal passing by everyone on the team
