With two days rest we are going to have to dig deep in that third period.
    if you won a National Championship, especially as recently as you did, you don't fly under the radar.................we watch what you're doing.

      Good call by Dutchman on stating HC is a 3rd period team
      I am sure U would like to have those 7 minutes back where they gave up 3 goals....
      Showed some grit fighting back which is nice to see.
      Better be ready for 2 tough games this weekend.
      Get some rest and come out flying on Friday....

        Great turnout by the faithful. We had more fans there than Holy Cross did !!! Very impressed with Cole Maier. He came to play. Great wake-up call for us.

          Not to take anything away from Holy Cross, but one has to think Union's tank might have been a bit empty last night. It was their third game in five days, and that stretch included two emotionally charged games against top rival RPI. Meanwhile, Holy Cross hadn't played since Friday and was in the comforts of their own rink. Maybe there wasn't any other date to play the game, but the scheduling wasn't ideal for Union.

          It appears Union will play Holy Cross over the next few years -

              An excellent description of this year's Yale team comes from LTscatch.
              Yale still kind of an unknown, the new goalie Spano, has not really been proven yet, he has played well in the past during his short stints in goal over the past three years. Many freshmen starting due to injury and attrition, D is small but quick and more offensive minded than in the past few years. The first line of Hayden Hitchcock and Snively may turn out to be one of the best lines in the league, a real pleasure to watch. The Freshmen Smith Twins are on a line with DiChiara and play a great two way game, hope they stay four years. Offense and speed will be Yales game plan. The size of the D which is starting three Frosh may be the Achilles Heel, i could see stronger teams cycling on Yale to an advantage.

              In years past Yale was known as an offensive team. Their coach does not emphasize either offense or defense. The past few years Lyons and their great defensemen put them at the top of the NCAA in defense.

              We will be ready.

                Does anyone know if we can get the pre-game/post-game press conferences somewhere?
                It seems that Ken Schott is no longer covering college hockey, and the garnet hockey blog is no longer being updated. Any other journalists out there anymore?

                  should use caution repeating rumors.. Teams don't announce medical info because it paints a target on a player,
                  and a specific body part, for the upcoming opponents.. And if he doesn't have that particular injury he may after they
                  go after his head ... just sayin

                      "I think we learned that Holy Cross is a good team," Taylor said. "But we did not play our best game by any means. Maybe looking back, it might be a good thing that we lost that game. We're not a team that can take games off and win games. We've got to bring it every night."

                      Lets start with tonight against Yale !!!
                      GO U !!!

                          That's a game we wanted! Another great effort by the whole team, from freshmen to seniors. A bit bummed out Pontarelli didn't get a point, he worked hard and even had an almost goal. Decent defense too (with some lapses on the PK), by all the team. We have to stay out of the box.
                          Some incredible saves by both goalies, some bad luck for Alex on the first goal.
                          Great hat trick by Vec, with great assists.
                          The scoring looks like we have only one line firing right now, but IMO, the game tells a slightly different story, with 7 players getting points (if I counted right)

                          On to Brown, who'll be very eager to get their first W this season!! (and who outshot RPI in the first and third period tonight)
                          Let's go Union !

                            It sure was - what a fun game to watch! Great to see the team get rewarded for their effort to comeback and win. Sak definitely saved the game at the end and looked solid tonight as well.

                            Brown has not played last year's starting goaltender this year, and in 3 games the has scored a single goal. Hopefully the excellent start for the Dutchmen continues!
                            Let's Go Union!!

                              All we need to know about Brown is that they have plenty of talent and they ALWAYS play us tough. We have not beaten them since 2014. We have to come and be ready to play a bruising hockey game.
