Re: Brown Hockey 2018-19: Marchin Orders
I looked at the box score and we out-attempted them 79-38 (59-23 at even strength). If someone had told me that before the game, I would’ve expected a big win. But hockey is a cruel game, and Cornell jumped all over us right away and never let up.
I’m cautiously optimistic going forward. Some of the younger guys were impressive this season, and we’ll return an exciting upperclassman nucleus of Giuttari, Nieto, Beaudoin, Berger, and Stillwell. But make no mistake about it – Tommy Marchin and Max Gottlieb will be missed. Still, I think the program is inarguably in a better place than it was at this time last year.
One thing that will be interesting to watch over the coming weeks: Brendan Whittet’s contract is now up. Does Brown give him an extension to try and continue the momentum? The overall W-L record under BW has been bad, but he’s been dealt some really tough cards. I have no idea what to expect, honestly.
