For those of you who live under a rock and think there arn't any fights in college hockey. Although not frequent usually happen after someone does something stupid after a game IE: salute fans after a game when your not in your rink.
Enjoy!

Sure, there are fights in college hockey every year, but I don't know that I've ever heard of any in women's hockey. Although I am new to women's D-III hockey (and don't follow D-I at all), so maybe I've missed something in the past.
And I don't see anything wrong with saluting fans as a visiting team. I think if the visiting team does it first and then gets off the ice for the home team to do it (if they do it at all) that there shouldn't be an issue. There's nNothing wrong with saying "thank you," no matter where you are. In fact, I'd like to see more teams do that, both at home and on the road. It's just a show of appreciation, and anyone that has a problem with that needs to rethink a few things.Go Sioux!!!
Go Cadets!!!

Re: Norwich Women's Hockey
Attended Amherst vs. Norwich last night.... Now I know why they are in the top 3 in DIII womens hockey... They could skate, they could pass, and they could shoot.
I was impressed with Amherst's ability to breakout of their zone. No trap could contain them, and their speed contributed to an awesome forecheck that kept the Norwich women on their heels for a good chunk of the game. They also played a very clean game.
Fortin kept the Cadets in the game with some outstanding saves, maintaining hope for a tie 'till the final buzzer.
Lasting impression...
The rink was nothing special, and their coach wore one of those hats my dad used to wear going to church on sundays back in the 50's, which was cool. Now, although I've not seen any of the western teams play, I get this gut feeling Amherst will take their game all the way to the NCAA final game...

Re: Norwich Women's Hockey
So here we go to Playland park for the ECAC EAST tourny, yea...
Looking back, the Norwich women came dam close to hosting it this time. A couple or so wins more and it would of been in Northfield, and yes yes, one would of needed to be vs M'ville. But considering it's only the 3rd year, not bad....
Umass had a pretty good run of wins after the holidays, starting with a win over Norwich back on Jan 15th, but I believe the Cadet's will not waste any time tomorrow firing cannon shots in the netting. Final score... 5-1 Norwich.
I see where M'ville has struggled vs NEC this year, but I doubt they will allow themselves to lose this semi, as they did vs. Salve last year. Final score...
M'ville 3, NEC 1, open net goal...
I'll let others opin on the final game... lol

Re: Norwich Women's Hockey
[QUOTE=spike;4633298]I'm not sure I can follow your logic here. It could have been a 5-2 game but wasn't because Bloom was solid in net. And, it could have been a 2-0 Middlebury win but wasn't because Leclerc is an excellent forward. Two good teams played a 2-2 tie. The mentality of "what could have been" might be one of the things that separates winners from non-winners.
Sorry it took me so long to respond Spike...
It's just an opinion. An opinion! Shall I say it again? I have no problem respecting yours, but under my rock, it should be a two way street.

Re: Norwich Women's Hockey
Can't let this thread get buried at the bottom of the heap after the ladies put together a great weekend away from home like that!! Looks like Fortin had a solid weekend as the goalie throwing back to back shutouts. Say what you want about who they played and how it happened...whatever. The bottom line is that when you get into the playoffs and you play solid D and do not give up any goals in 2 ECAC playoff games, you had a good weekend.
Now as they enter the next round they need to continue the solid defensive play and find a way to have the staff mix in acouple of new wrinkles offensively to win from this point on. I think with their defensive system that they can play they can hold anyone close........if they all play it together. Offensively however that is another story as they move forward. They will face teams from here on out that are all solid defensively and if they hope to compete, Coach Bolding and his staff had better incorporate a couple of "trick" plays that they can run to try and get an early goal or 2 to help create a lead and make their opponent play from behind instead of the other way around. This is a good young team but when you get to the NCAA's and playing this caliber it is tough to play from behind, and Norwich has had a tough time playing from behind all year. Norwich will need to get the early lead and keep pounding at the net with good quality shots from good areas and rely on Fortin and the defence to do their part......
