That was one hell of a hockey game! I agree with everything Iowa said. The boys played hard every minute of the game! Congrats to Cosgrove and Citron for their first goals of the season and congrats to everyone for a great game! GO 'GATE!!!!
Nice to see them finally get a win, and well deserved after this and a gutsy effort against Ohio State last weekend. I felt good about the possibility of a split this weekend, so naturally picked us to be Qpac instead. Big win for the Cats at Lynah, do they look past us a bit?
Also, re: ESPN+, I have had no issues. There's a small thing with sound, that is Radio's broadcast, not coming through, but I think that's a local production problem (rather than an ESPN issue). I recall the same issue in past seasons when the games were on Stadium or direct from the school. Otherwise, video comes up and is good. Is it maybe a speed/connection issue for some folks?
Once the video came on I had no problems with the sound. It was getting past the "Free Week of ESPN+" ads that bothered me. There is no place to log in and just be taken straight to the game!! I mean is it so difficult for them to just let you log in with your password and take you to the game??!? :-/
Gate Radio's broadcast came in loud and clear with no glitches the entire game.
I don't know if anyone has posted this but Eric Ciccolini has de-committed
Mark Seidel tweeted this "Eric Ciccolini, the probable 2nd or 3rd round NHL Draft pick from the @OJHLJrCanadiens has de-committed from Colgate. Numerous high end school NCAA programs like Michigan, UND and UNH are in the hunt but there is plenty of OHL interest as well. GUE currently owns his rights."
Two-minute penalty against ‘Gate yielded one goal in that period.
Five-minute penalty against ‘Gate yielded two more goals.
I’m thinking that we may want to keep out of the penalty box when playing a team much better than us 5 on 5.
Quinnipiac 24, Colgate 12, SOG after two.
Quinnipiac 4, Colgate 0, score after two.
the quicker Nicki Moore, our new AD, makes a decision on MIH the better, unless you all continue to yearn for .400 hockey and 500 people in our new arena...having the pleasure of watching our football team compete with a top 30 DI program today, seeing them compete on even terms (if the refs had been only neutral) reinforces the stark differences between the overall operation of our men's hockey program vs. football (or soccer, or basketball, or whatever)...we've been more than patient over the past 12+ years (yes, well over one decade) and major changes must be implemented...I don't think there's any need to elaborate...

According to Heisenberg's listing he's only 165 lbs and 6' - much too small to play for Gate anyway....
another de-commit? Scanlin de-commits in late September? Can you blame them? This program is in the toilet and, ONCE AGAIN, don't believe me, simply get a clue...12 goals in 11 games? Are you kidding me? So now UNH is "a high-end program"? Don't we have 2/3 of our wins against UNH? One record is in our sights: fewest goals/game in the history of NCAA DI hockey...we're well on our way...what an accomplishment...
There’s no way to sugar coat this: the program appears to be in shambles. As has been pointed out quite a bit over the past few years, Coach Vaughan is a good on-ice coach, but the recruiting is not even close to where it needs to be. We simply do not have enough viable Division 1 scorers. And this is not a new problem. Frankly, at this point hoping that something miraculously improves on that front without making substantial changes is irrational. Let’s be honest, we are headed for a ten win season if we’re lucky. When is enough enough?
