    I believe my point is that we are. Last year he mentioned this, because we didn't really pull it off; Brock Higgs did all the work. This year, we have NHL pouring it on, Bubela/Zalewski, McGowan's coming back into stride, even Leonard and Bailen doing quite well...

    If Johnny Rogic can continue clicking and CJ Lee can get back into the habit, we'll be in REALLY good shape.

      ....now if CJ will just shoot it down the ice when on the PK (as long as no-one is breaking alone down the ice) instead of trying to be Bobby Orr & eventually loosing it in our zone...geesh!

        Good point about Rogic. He had a great game on Friday. We still aren't scoring at the 3 goals-per-game that SA stated we need, even in the recent stretch.

            Nationally, we're at 2.48 GF, 2.74 GA. Conference-wise, 1.92 (dead last ) and 2.92, respectively. I believe Coach has mentioned that he would like to see us at 3 and 2, respectively. He's also said that to get out of this funk, we need some ugly wins. That's what we got against Colgate (2-1), and sort of had against Cornell (3-2, although Coach usually attributes ugly wins to 1-0, 2-0, and 2-1).

              That's one other thing I noticed in the stats. As much as Laliberté, Bailen, Haggerty, Bubela, and the rest are doing well getting us points, none of them are even in the overall top 10 for the league. JL and Haggs are tied for the highest on the team, and they're at 17th. The scoring by committee is very important, though, because now instead of reserving your best defenders for one or two players, the entire other team must defend well against us. I'd rather see the team be hot than a couple of players.
              I couldn't care less about league scoring stats. All I care about is that they keep playing the way they have the last few weeks for the rest of the season...and hopefully will wipe the ice with Union on Saturday night at the TUC.

                After playing 17 or so of your 23 games against ranked opponents this is not so much of a surprise. these teams are not ranked because they let a lot of goals in. The rest of our schedule has a lot more bottom dwellars so these goal stats may improve. Did anyone else see that strange play at the 1 02 faceoff at the end of the cornell game. it looked like the cornell player checked the linesman causing him to fall on Laliberte? and the lineman took his sweet time getting up keeping him out of the play. And before the faceoff what did the linesman whisper in the cornell players ear? i don't think i've seen that before.

                  Not for nothing Ralph, but we did score 3 goals on Friday night...Hicks was the only one who failed to realize it.

                  EDIT: Its also worth noting the keepers we've played against of late: Hartzell .933 GAA (Hobey candidate), Bonar - stood on his head, Finney (.919) and Iles (.913).

                    Well, Bennett was talking about benching players after losing to Cornell on Friday, night. But a better performance and win on Sat. probably solved that for U. I FULLY expect U to have their best lineup on the ice on Sat. night....as I do RPI.

                      Based on the box score, he did bench players. I'm sure that they'll work things out very similar to how Coach Appert works out things with our players.

                        We'll see. I come up for arguments on both sides. To me the most important is that we have to keep up the momentum and continue to improve.

                            I saw the little discussion, too. I'm not sure if that resulted in much of a conspiracy (although with the blown icing call I do wonder), but there's no sense in reading into it.

                            Sadly, there was no foaming at the mouth from Fat Mike in the Ithaca Journal on Sunday.

                              Depending on who you ask, four. I agree with the mice on the second no goal, though. I don't even think it crossed the line.

                                There is no such thing as an ugly win when you're in last place and playing nationally ranked teams. W's - of any sort -are all that matter.
