2017-2018 D1 Women's Hockey Scores

[shelfit]

Great late-game comeback by Union last night scoring 2 extra attacker goals 34 seconds apart with just over 2 minutes to play in regulation to tie RIT 3-3 after a scoreless OT. Wonder if that will carry over to today's game. You would have to think so. Tough going for RIT to squander a 2 goal lead that late in the game. On the other side of the puck, what a boost for Union to have such a dramatic comeback. Well done!

Some leads have gotten away, so it must be nice to be on the other side of a rally for a change.

A rally that paved the way for today's 2-1 victory!

Saw this and had to look it up - what a terrible and embarrassing hire this guy was. Early line on coaches who are going to lose their jobs at the end of the season has Kenneally from Brown as my leading candidate. Brown has primarily become a program where passable playing, well-educated kids from prep schools go for a good education and endure the hockey experience. He may be a nice, quality person (I don't know), but he sure as heck has no place as a D1 coach.

Kenneally's stats:

- 17-18 - 0-6 to date - with two 11 goals against games - and we're past the excuse that he is coaching the previous coaches players.
- 16-17 - 7-22 - on the surface doesn't look bad until you realize it include 2 wins against Sacred Heart, 2 wins against Union, and 2 meaningless wins the last weekend of the season against teams out of the playoffs
- 15-16 - 3-23-3 - Also includes a win against Sacred Heard and a win against Union

By comparison, Bourbeau's (previous coaches) stats:

- 14-15 - 5-23-1 - no really soft wins
- 13-14 - 4-20-5
- 12/13 - 6-20-1
- 11/12 - 8-16-7

NOT GETTING BETTER!!!

Uhhhhh...... so Brown lost 5-4 to Sacred Heart!!!! Now they can't even consistently beat what is effectively a slightly above average D3 team. I don't care if they played their B goalie or whatever - this is embarrassing beyond belief for the program, the school, and the players. Sacred Heart hasn't beaten an established D1 team in over 10 years.....

They are now 2-13 for the season. This includes a win over Sacred Heart and what is now looking like a shocking win over Dartmouth (who really should be asking themselves what happened). Brown needs to either can this coach and hire somebody who has a clue (Amy Bourbeau was better than this guy) or just admit they don't care about women's hockey anymore, drop the program, and start some other sport up where they might be more competitive with less expense.

Guess who is really having the last laugh right now? That's right, Digit Murphy. Would the braniacs at Brown consider offering her old job back to her?! It might be the smartest thing they could do to get this program back on track. Losing to Sacred Heart is actually unforgivable.

The last couple seasons under Murphy weren't exactly on track. I thought Bourbeau did fairly well, given the shape of the program when she took over. Brown is starting to look like one of those jobs that will prove difficult for any coach.

I definitely agree with your last sentence. They are becoming the new Union. Yes, Murphy's last 4 seasons were not impressive but not much different compared to every season since then under both Borbeau and this clown. Her body of work there is obviously impressive and that blows away Borbeau and this guy combined. That's why she's still a better head coach than either or both of them. Obviously Brown will never hire her back but it's fun to think about it anyway.

Player treatment was an unofficial reason for Murphy's dismissal and some of the stories I've heard are not good - no school wants to bring that back in once they get rid of it.

The commentary that it is a job that would be difficult for anyone may be true, but that was said about Union as well and they are better now (albeit still not good). At least they no longer embarrass Union with their performance. The primary issue at Brown is that they hired a coach who was an administrator, with no experience coaching women, arguable experience coaching men, and no recruiting or other connections whatsoever in the women's hockey world. His hiring was actually an insult to the many potential coaching candidates and to the players on the team and committed players. He may be a nice, standup guy (I have no idea), but he obviously doesn't know jack about coaching D1 women's hockey and is in way over his head.
