Re: Dartmouth Hockey 2016-17 Season
A good result weekend for the Big Green! If only they could have pulled out the a W instead of a tie, that would have capped a great weekend. Couple of thoughts: Buffalo was an absolute stud all weekend as he only let in one all weekend albeit an important shorty for Cornell. Without him, it could have been easily 1 and 1 or worst case 2 losses. He was the MVP for the weekend. The D core played a efficient yet unspectacular game with Yau/Shoup pair getting the most TOI. IMHO the best O line was the Kilistoff/Neiley/Warpecha line as they kept possession down low with great cycling and got a couple of scoring chances, more importantly did not yield much against them. The top line of Hesler/Kalk/Crema has shown flashes but needs to "lead" and show more consistency while the line of Ernsting/Jasiek/Opperman needs to do more. If there was a down note, it was the ineffectiveness of the PP units. It seems as though entry is a problem compounded with losing puck battles deep in O zone to gain possession and set up. This will undoubtedly be huge this year based on the amount of penalties called thus far. This PP/PK can/will win or lose the games for you as 5 on 5 the Big Green has been the better team thus far.
