Re: Yale Hockey 2017-2018 Season Thread

Hello everyone! As you may or may not have seen, vicb is not running the annual ECAC Pick the Standings contest this season. I have decided to take up the torch and run it. I know we are running on rather short notice as the season will start in just four days, but hopefully we can get a decent turnout regardless. If you'd like to participate, just head on over to the thread and submit your prediction! Thanks and good luck!

Thanks for doing that.

The 2017-2018 season is finally upon us. I will be attending both games this weekend as some family travel to RI on Saturday just needed to happen. Not much news on the personnel front, have not heard any reports of injuries, but with Yale, you don't know that until game time anyway. Very interested in seeing Kemp and O'Neil in person. Also wondering if Allain will keep the Snively, Hitchcock, O'Neil line intact after the great first scrimmage by that trio, or does he spread the talent around?

Looks like first line will stick together

Disjointed play by Yale tonight led to a 1-4 loss (2ENG). Brown's Nieto basically stole the game with a glove that Yale seemed intent on shooting at. Outshot Bruno 40 something to 20 with many chances including at least five powerplays. Brown did a great job of getting in the way of Yale's quick forwards and contested passes enough to frustrate Yale. Nice to see Kemp with his first goal. O'Neil looked good as well. One problem was making too many passes during the PP, they need to get the puck on net. Tucker improved as the game went on, but the two glove side goals were savable IMO. It will be interesting to see if Allain starts someone else in Providence, the word is Kasperski is next on the depth chart at goalie.

Did not see either game this weekend, but I'm glad Yale was able to comeback for the split.

Just looking at the stats, 0-6 on the PP (both games) and 9 penalties (second game), means they have a lot to work on.

I was at the game Friday and watched the stream on Saturday. Too many passes and not enough shots on the PP. The defense was actually decent and except for the two early goals on Friday, Tucker has been OK. The first line is talented and O'Neil is going to be a very good player for Yale. Kemp has a bomb of a slap shot as well. The turning point Saturday was killing a 1:58 5 on 3 for Brown. Yale scored immediately after the kill and broke Brown's back. They should have won Friday except for Nieto standing on his head.

You understate how good your first line is. Watching Snively, Hirchcock and O;Neil Saturday leads me to the conclusion that by the end of te season it will be the top line in the ECAC. Very strong and each compleme ts each other

Re: Yale Hockey 2017-2018 Season Thread

Great win by Yale in a usual house of horrors. Team speed across the board and A very tenacious forecheck along with great goaltending by Tucker were the keys. The Smith Brothers were in “ hit everything that moves” mode. They should continue that style of play. O’Neil is going to be a very good player for Yale, nice to see when Snively has an off night that his linemates can pick it up for him. Kudos to the D for a great penalty kill as well. No letdown tonight!

Yale really needs to find a power play somehow, somewhere

Re: Yale Hockey 2017-2018 Season Thread

Feed was so bad that I could not stream. Classic stinker after an emotional win. Power play becoming an Achilles heel.
