Re: Colgate 2016-17 A New Beginning

As you might well guess from my user name I am a Harvard fan but just wanted to say that your goalie Finn is a miracle worker. The box score says Harvard had 45 shots on goal but I am sure that there were some Harvard shots that did not make the shot counter. Despite that Finn held us to 1 goal. Amazing work! The kid must be a bit shell shocked after that but he stayed steady all game.

Have a good hockey season Colgate!!

Thanks Veritas. Your goalie ain't bad either. Have a good season. See you later on at Class of '65 Arena. Come see our new pond - you'll like it.

Re: Colgate 2016-17 A New Beginning

Not much talk for this weekend.... Yale has had our number for quite some time but they are unproven with a win over rpi and shu and a loss to a good union team. The bad news that nobody is talking about is that last week we only had one goal on the weekend and currently rank 50th averaging 2.14 gpg. I am not expecting much at Yale even though they are "down" this year compared to previous years, but it is a must win at Brown the next night. Getting points each weekend is a must if this team is to finish somewhere between five and eight. Hopefully Finn comes out hot again AND our Offense shows up too.

Wow great win! Expectations are up! Beat Brown tomorrow and get a weekend sweep on the road. The O....and Finn both showed up tonight, keep it up gate! Good for them.

Looked great from my barstool at Rusch's. Women also came back for the 4-3 win... a Yale sweep!

Great road win for the team!!!! So happy for them!! Go 'Gate!!

Re: Colgate 2016-17 A New Beginning

Way to go, 'Gate! Scrappy, opportunistic team with amazing defense. Score on your breakaways and stay out of the box! Congrats to the women's team, tough task next weekend. One game at a time.

Maine beat #5UML...every little bit helps down the PWR road!

Re: Colgate 2016-17 A New Beginning

Last night was our first win at Yale since March 1, 2009! It was just our 3rd win at the Whale since the start of the 2005-06 season. Maybe something good will come out of this season after all!

I'll be driving down to Providence for this afternoon's game. Hopefully this momentum carries over!

Someone please tell Gate Radio that it's Gagnon as in Gan Yon, not Gag non, ouch.

Re: Colgate 2016-17 A New Beginning

Another 36 saves for Finn, and 2 goals on the PP? Great win

Puck drop is 4:00 today? Gonna be a tough turnaround, especially since this is a fantastic opportunity for 4-point road weekend

Re: Colgate 2016-17 A New Beginning

Except for a 10 to 12 minutes period in the third, very solid, generally disciplined...referees are still very tight in their officiating, some ticky tack calls on The Gate and, frankly, I thought the 5-minutes major call on Yale at the end should've been 2 minutes...this team has bought into DV's defensive approach and we can legitimately skate four lines...Finn healthy and seeing the puck...just keep getting better and better every game...four points this weekend would be great...

Apparently Finn was playing through an injury last season, which partially explains his bad numbers last season (although a lack of roster depth was also responsible). Also, our longest stretch without a win at an opposing ECAC Hockey barn was at Ingalls Rink until last night.

Re: Colgate 2016-17 A New Beginning

I believe Bruno beat us 3 times last year - and in Ireland. So this is a grudge match for sure.

Loved GateRadio's use of the word "Anaconda" as a way to describe our defense (...or was it their defense) No matter....good description either way

Making an early case for ECAC goalie of the year....
