Colgate and Starr's last season

Re: Colgate and Starr's last season

Was surprised they took a plane or is that customary for the playoffs?

NCAA tournament's have a 400-mile rule. Less than 400 it's a bus trip, more than 400 it's a flight.

Re: Colgate and Starr's last season

SLU has 18 guys who can score, every night. Tough to deal with, even moreso for a team that's missing players.

Holy crap, is your PP really that good? We weren't happy with the calls, but either way, that power play ate us alive.

According to collegehockeystats.net, our PP is clicking at 22.7%. Not too shabby, but the penalty kill is just under 80%.

Fortunately, we now have a break in the schedule that will hopefully allow us to get healthy. But the VERY short bench has really taken its toll so far this season. Looking at Chris Heisenberg's recruit list, we should hopefully rectify this next season, but I won't hold my breath.

Even worse, we're in 11th place in the ECAC. Even MORE worse, EVERY team except Brown has a game in hand on us, and that will continue until mid-February. And to add salt on the wound, our travel partners seem to have returned to their mid-2000s form. We've dug ourselves into a deep hole, and hopefully we can turn it around in the second half of the season, but can we? At least we still have football to look forward to this Saturday!

In case there are any football fans here, the game has been moved up to 11 AM CT on Sat. due to bad weather down in Texas.

Wishing my fellow posters a magical Christmas and holiday season!!
I saw some of the boys a few days ago. They said the team was pretty banged up but determined to turn the season around starting with the Vermont Tourney.
Here's to a healthy and happy New Year!
GO 'GATE!!!!!!

Re: Colgate and Starr's last season

Thanks CU13. Back at ya'. Hope to see you at Starr sometime this season, and definitely at the Union game. Happy Holidays to all and may the New Year bring a turnaround for the team.

Re: Colgate and Starr's last season

After a long snooze we're back in action next week with our 47th meeting against Brown this year and a game with Vermont. Time to fire up the enthusiasm for 'Gate hockey and hope we can turn the corner.

Re: Colgate and Starr's last season

Merry Christmas to all the 'Gate fans out there! I'm hoping to make it up to Vermont on Wednesday, weather permitting. Time to turn this season around!

There's still a chance to play Brown three more times potentially if the teams meet in the ECAC playoffs.

Colgate played St Lawrence six times in 2007-08; two ECAC league games, one non-conference tournament at the Governor's Cup in Albany and three ECAC first round playoff games at Starr Rink.

Is this news?

Good for us if it's true. We've had a razor thin roster this year so far, with only 13 forwards and 7 defensemen. And that's if everyone is healthy!

Time to get back on track today. Free live video for both our games, today and tomorrow, can be found here:

Re: Colgate and Starr's last season

I would say this is great news as any help would be appreciated. I wonder if we're finally healthy. And Rain thank you for your video news !

Re: Colgate and Starr's last season

It is news and GREAT news! We were hoping Adam would be back, but there were no guarantees. He is officially on the roster. Let's hope he provides the "shot in the arm" the team needs. GO GATE!!

Re: Colgate and Starr's last season

Definitely a shot in the arm, let's just hope it's not too little too late. Should be exciting to see him play. Maybe we can go on a run lik two years ago. It starts this afternoon!
