That may be true.  If Harvard watches last nights game and sees the 0 for 7 on man-up,  they might take flags cause we can't seem to score with an extra guy lol.

Do they keep the stat goals/possessions even strength vs. man up?

Maybe if we scored man-up as easily as we do even strength they’d have some incentive to get under control

Yep - no idea why we don't attack when we have man up instead of just tossing the balla round.  just is not our game to slow go it like that.

Quint said it perfectly in his weekly column. There is a difference between winning and playing well, and Albany definitely hasn't played really well in the last two games. I think the Canisius game was more about the start and the 2nd and 3rd line guys, an UML other than JD, TD, an Sean it was a pretty blah performance

It looks like we have two tests left, Harvard and Yale. The good news is that the wins over Maryland, Syracuse, and Cornell pretty  much guarantee UA of a better seed in the tournament than last year, but the question remains will the Danes be a better team in May when it counts than the team that rallied to beat Cornell and Maryland in March?

It's tough getting pumped for games going up against Canisus and Lowell. Yale game is the perfect timing to get them ready for May

Totally agree.  Will be a tough go if Connor can't play though.

While Connor didn't look great when he was back out I am optimistic that it isn't something season ending. However, if there is any doubt sit him until at least the Yale game and even longer if need be. The Danes are a seeded team as the only team in the country with a perfect record against top 20 RPI teams. Connor needs to be as close to 100% as possible in May.

Man-up is 12/37, 32.4%, ranked 41st. Were ranked 25 before this weeks 0-7

Don’t see any stats on number of possessions. Is face off wins + successful clears a good approximation? If so we’re 115/292, about 39%
