Re: Nescac 2016-17

Interesting weekend coming up. Oh, the possibilities... Colby was lucky to come out of the Nutmeg State with a split. So, they are sitting in third looking up at Williams and Hamilton, who have to play each other. That would be great for the Mules, but for the fact that Hamilton's other game is against Midd, which did absolutely nothing this past weekend to help their cause. Only six points separate the top seven teams and the Bantams are nipping at the Mules hooves. Ain't this fun!!? It looks like Hamilton, Colby and Williams 1-2-3.

I don't see Middlebury slowing Hamilton down at all on Friday, so it will probably come down to Williams at Hamilton on Saturday.

Williams is in the drivers seat but has a tough weekend ahead with the Ex-Jeffs and the Continentals.Could Colby sneak by with a weekend sweep?

Re: Nescac 2016-17

Hamilton controls its own destiny,Trinity climbing and hoping for another Williams-Amherst tilt next week if the stars align. Last nights game was a dandy. Ex-Jeffs killing off a 5 min major scoring the game winner just as the penalty expired and weathering the storm in the first period when they were totally outplayed

Re: Nescac 2016-17

Additional commentary on WIL/AMH: Agree with Eddie, very good game, though sloppy at times. Amherst played a strong game defensively, and was able to shut down Williams when it mattered most. Williams completely dominated the play in the first period, only to lose momentum during / after their 5 (4:10) min powerplay. Most surprising from this game was the selfishness of the skilled players on Williams - Williams could barely get the puck out of their own end during the last three minutes because of players continually trying to skate it end to end themselves (both defensemen and forwards). Williams does not seem to be a real contender this year - I'd expect another early exit from the Ephs unless they can really turn things around.

Just a half-hour until Colby's biggest game in nine years.

Re: Nescac 2016-17

It'll be interesting to see how everything fares.

1) Trinity has had a tough time in the playoffs with Tufts over the last few years.
2) Amherst always performs in the post season; them and Williams should be the "Game of the Day"
3) Can Hamilton keep their great play going and how will their key losses affect their chances (Willett and Murden)
4) Lawrence needs to keep playing amazing to give Colby a fighting chance at the title.

Re: Nescac 2016-17

Are Murden and Willett definitely out for Saturday??

Re: Nescac 2016-17

Amherst@ Williams can Amherst go a whole season without a road win? Can Williams play as a team as they were earlier in the season? We will find out Saturday in what should a great game
