Hey we're in first, let Dartmouth worry about us! So much has been made about this being a trap game that I don't think anyone on the team, players, and certainly not the coaches will take this game lightly. The stakes are far, far too high. Still Dartmouth is somewhat improved and won't by lying down for us, but IF we play our game, we win. I do want to see Colin much sharper and more consistent than he was vs. Quinny. He is still evolving into the prime time role and despite some hiccups, his win loss record is pretty good and that's what it boils down to.
The travel will be tough, but remember these are young men, in peak physical condition, not old guys like us or at least me. They do have the better part of a day to get acclimated and hopefully some rest. The challenge of playing the number one team in the country should have them amped up. RB will never use travel or fatigue as an excuse. I also think it likely that there will be lineup changes between Friday and Saturday, but I'm usually clueless on these issues. Far more to gain than lose out of the weekend.Last edited by Wholin1; 12-11-2013, 08:48 AM.

Some off topic news that might be of interest:
Albany's Times Union Center to host the NCAA Division I Hockey East Regionals in 2016. It was last held there in 2010.

Re: 2013-2014 Union Dutchmen - Can U Three Peat?
That was the worse hockey I have seen the Dutchman play all year. Absolutely terrible. Thank God Stevens decided to have a great game and keep us in it. You cannot win and consistently be the last player to the loose puck. Dartmouth outplayed us and outskated us and outshot us 39 - 30. Just like with Colgate you could see this coming a mile away. I am glad we don't have to play them anymore during the regular season. The good news is we won. The hockey gods are still with us and it is great to have 16 points going into the break. The bad news is that if we play like this this weekend. it will be a bloodbath and it won't be SCSU's blood.Last edited by Dutchman; 12-11-2013, 09:08 PM.DUTCHMEN HOCKEY

Not their best game by any stretch, but they battled back and now are in sole possession of first-place in the ECAC.

Dartmouth was impressive. That was the worst game Union played at home since LSSU, but again, give Union credit for coming back and pulling it out.
Dartmouth hardly resembled a 2-9 team, and their recent improvements are clearly the real deal. They have the potential to make a good jump once league play resumes after the holidays. Give them credit for firing 39 shots on goal, seven more than any other opponent has had against Union this year.
As Bennett said, Stevens (who made a career-high 37 saves) kept them in the game... especially through the first two when Dartmouth had 27 of their 39 shots. Hopefully, he can build off the effort at SCSU.
