    A few things, empty, According to the announcers on the video feed from last night point is sick, won't play this weekend. Secondly, penalties have been called all over the country and fans are getting sick of it. Check USCHO home site for an article on it.

      I did see that article but we are still 43/54 in penalties per game. Hope Point recovers, almost just lost it for good when I saw Racine starting tonight. Hope he plays well and gets the W for Gate we need it.

        DV did not appear overly pleased with the effort last night...and at this point effort may be a necessary but not sufficient condition to get some wins...ECAC looks relatively strong this year (so far) and league play is coming soon...one wonders at this point is home attendance will be an issue this year as well...God I hope not, but after several very successful years at the DIII level (i.e.,championships) Middlebury constructed a new facility, dropped down in DIII play and now has problems drawing flies at their home ice...my guess is we'll know whether our $38 million commitment is successful within 2+ years...

          I don't think Midd dropped down in play so much as others finally caught up, especially Plattsburgh (Go Cardinals!). Head Coach Bill Beaney also retired after 28 years with a record of 516-184-51 (.721) and 8 National Championships! Their arena was one of the nicest when it was built but Beaney left tough shoes to fill.

            Pretty sure Gate should play Brooks even more🙂

                I have been in the Mediterranean Sea on a 2 week cruise visiting and eating my way around Italy, Spain, Portugal, France and Gibraltar(UK). I come back and with less than one week to go before RPI and Union kick off the ECAC campaign and I find only 22 contestants. Come on people. You have until Friday at 7PM to get your picks in or amend your previous picks. If doing an amendment just give me a new post with your revised picks and state that they are revised.

                  Tough to be down a man for 14 minutes of a 60-minute game. No problem seeing Racine in net IMO, just testing the waters before league play begins.

                  This season, Goals For = 12, Goals Against = 21. In the two games we tied, Colgate scored first. Coming out strong, setting the pace, and scoring first may be key this season. Hope Point won't second-guess his choice to come to Colgate if he doesn't start. My guess is he would not be on the bench anywhere else.

                    Think about going to games this weekend. Is there a visitor section, and are there any good places to stay in the area?

                      Should be able to buy a ticket at the window. No visitor section per se. There is also standing room, which may be the best seat in the house. "Good" places are few and far between. Suggest the Colgate Inn but it's probably booked with Family Weekend people. There is the Wendt Inn (motel) just north of town, but it's bare bones and may be booked. Try TripAdvisor and Expedia for places to stay in the area - there should be a few but you may have to drive a bit.

                        It has seemed like the visitors have been sitting in section 7-8. I don't know if that is official or just what fans have been doing

                          Only got to listen to parts of this weekend's games. Like the fight in coming back several times, that will serve the team well going forward. Don't love continuing to fall behind, but Green Coat is right that we'll need patience in a growing year.

                          I'm not opposed to rotating goalies right now. Point had a nice debut, but Finn gave us 2 good seasons before last year. Hamilton and Racine in there too, sure. I recall DV being willing to let the goalies fight it out and hope one of them grabs the spot. Let one of them beat the others.

                          2 games coming against Maine. Surely we'll take at least 1 to get the first W in the new rink, right?

                            I said "patience" and I will try my best...let's face it folks, our recruiting post Class of 2016 has been quite disappointing. They seem like really good kids (DV always brings in quality young men), but with one or two exceptions they are not impact D-I hockey players. My hope is that with the new facility we can elevate the level of talent entering The Gate EVERY year, not every 3 of 4 years.
