Check the stats

It appears to me that SBU was beaten by a superior team. Yes,
the overtime mistake was a coaching error; but to allow Yale to
come back strongly in the second half was a team problem.
Shots, Yale 43, SBU 22; Ground balls, Yale 37, SBU 27;
Turnovers, Yale 11, SBU 18; Face offs, 21 - 13
The stats show a team that beat us even though SBU allowed ONLY
ONE goal in the first half.
SBU is not getting the scoring it takes to win and is loosing
the ball too often.
Best to all; the team, the coaches and the fans.

I think what we should take away from the game is that this team
can play with almost anybody in the country. I might be alone
here, but I'm actually really impressed with how they're
playing. The 4-8 record is disappointing, as are the one goal
losses, but they are getting better and for most of last night
they were playing at a level I honestly did not expect coming
into the season.

Its true- 6 losses are by one goal, one of them by two.
All of those teams are improved this year. And, a couple were
in OT (if my memory is right) and this wasnt the first 1 goal
loss that a goal was called off. Theyll be ok, they aint losing
me as a fanatic.
GO SB

This team is definitely going to be one great team next year.
But it still stinks that they have so many one-goal loses.
Inexperience has to play some factor in this team's inability to
close out games.
The good part is that this conference is so weak that a NCAA
berth is still a realistic goal

I'm not so sure the Brook will be great next year...They are
losing their 3 best middies (Campbell, Bonanno, LeVerne), and
their best defenseman in Moller. Brady has been average at best
in goal. FOGO needs to be addressed and I'm not sure an
incoming freshman is going to fix that.
Hope I'm wrong but time will tell. Now let's see if they can
roll off 4 in a row vs the AE.

I would love to see us knock off Hartford. What scares me is
they have agreat F/O guy who gave Rand a hard time last year and
Rand was one of the best.

Thank God! With the way he handled Rand last season he would
shut us out on F/O this year. Ok so got a shot at a W
Saturday.

Can someone explain the strategy we are using at the faceoff
now. I'm guessing when Laforet's out there with the long pole
he's really just trying to cause a turnover or get back on
defense so to not give up the fast break goal. And I'm guessing
we had him taking the fo's on monday because yale has a good
fogo and Nalge didn't want to give up goals in transition off a
face off loss. Is that correct?

All though I agree w/JoeWillie when he talks about losing
Moeller & Campbell. I would have to say that Milican is every
bit as good as Laverne.Also Rooney has played middie most of the
year and leads in goals. Andreassi needs to step up. Nagle
better find a f/o and goalie. Team will be young next year wich
might be good,you need to get rid of the Ricky Sowel leftovers.
