How do you not score in the 2nd half?
We got the win, so not going to loose my sh*t, but this is not an NCAA team. I have no idea if it's the new coaching or players but they are so tentative to shoot. How do you not score in an entire half. Worst offense I've seen from RU in a couple years now.
Princeton is a legit team. The best we’ve played. Some concerns about about the offense remain but a win in this game is all that mattters.
Celebrate it.

I am Fing ecstatic about this win!!!! I am really happy for the team, nice job.
I don't complain about wins... only enjoy them. :cool2:
Yeah except at some point we have to make the tournament. if we arent what direction is the program goin? I know we should have been in one of the years. Still, great to win. However, the goal should be the tourney every seasons. Im sure that is the goal. This season is far from over. There have been many positives. However, we have to make the tournament or that positive is really irrelevant.
Relax bro. It’s a season. Every game means something. Just enjoy this one today. I guarantee you team is.
RUPsyche needs to be put in Ancora. Go bitch about the baseball team, Psych, and take RUTrack94 with you.
Im good bro. Of course each win matters. It is great to beat princeton. It is also a program. As program when were we last in the tourney? That is the goal. If it isnt we have a major problem. I am not trying to diminish the win. I am saying that ultimately if they arent contributing to getting to the tournament then the program isnt successful. Not an individual effort or game. I know we arent going to agree. So no need to continue. If you arent making the tourney the season is not a success.
One at a time. Come back at the end of the season if that’s all that interests you.
Great win! Beating Princeton is massive in thenprogram!

You mean someone who doesnt want to just praise what is ultimately mediocre results as great progress when in reality we have failed to reach the goal that would mean actual success. Yeah that is really unreasonable.
Dude, you're a clown and no one here likes you. The RU Wrestling fans shut you down fast, and so will the lax fans. Do yourself a favor and let the grown ups talk.

I agree. Great win. I was replying to kolezar. His point that this team isnt going in the right direction overall certainly has validity. Obviously after a big win it isnt something people want to hear. I appreciate that.

Tradition when we beat Princeton.
Macallan 30 about to be poured.
I tip my hat to you Knights. Well done!

1) GREAT win
2) AWFUL 2nd half...AGAIN...5-0 needs an explanation other than “they’re good.”
....this is a problem.

Player of the game is Edelmann. What an absolutely incredible performance.
Hats off to the whole D. That team is explosive. To hold them to 8 goals is a huge accomplishment.

Agree. Edelmann was MVP with all those saves especially that last second one for the attempted tie. Princeton really wanted this win and adjusted very well in the 2nd half. I love rivalry games. Play with such heart, rankings become meaningless. Glad RU came away with the Win & the cup! Yay!! Congrats RU MLax!
Go RU!

Sounds like he missed his Thorazine this morning AGAIN!!!!
If there is one game to win inside and around the program, it’s this one. Just awesome!
Definitely had offensive struggles in the second half BUT we had some seriously good looks. We hit two pipes and the PU goalies made some tremendous saves. They made up for it by riding hard.
...lead to possessions...which lead to shots...which leads to goals...which (hopefully) lead to Ws.
Dig, boys. Dig.
We won them when we had to but that’s an area we need to be better in. We missed some easy ones.
That’s all for another day. This one is sweet.

I get that we barely hung on, and I certainly think it’s not good to not score in the second half, BUT
1) Harryman won first two draws, then pulled a hammy again. Big loss. He transferred here for a reason - would be a different situation if he was playing regularly. Schoen is holding his own, but he’s not Harryman.
2) lost two defensemen in the 2nd half to injuries - Jack Thompson was playing well IMO, and didn’t return when he went out. We’re not deep enough to lose guys like that. I do think the new DCs strategy looks great as everyone gets comfortable with it. I thought our D was awesome in the first half today.
3) Mullins went out with injury during a critical part of the 2nd half (most of last 8 mins) returned for the last series, which is good, but inconsequential since Princeton held the ball for the last shot. I love Charalambides, but this team is not the same without Mullins.
4) Max is a neutralizer. He was unbelievable today.
You don’t need to score that much when your goalie is that good. He’s at 63% save percentage, which is 2nd in the nation. Like in hockey, if you have a hot goalie, you can go far. We can’t always lean on him, but it’s awesome to have him here.
5) The defense looks great when it’s on. Harryman at FOGO is above avg when he’s there. The combo of AC and Mullins on attack, plus Coyne and Gallagher are great, when they are all there. The problem is that we’ve played very few game minutes this year with all of these players in place at the same time. We simply don’t have the depth to replace them yet, but if we can just get healthy, I think we’ll play with anyone.

At least I also give kudos and acknowledge teams when they do well :).
Great win today ... watched the first half and RU played very well. Not sure why the 2nd half goose egg, but a resume building win.
Of all the teams RU plays, PU and Cuse are the last ones that I like to see wins against the most!
They pulled the starter near the end of the first half.
2nd guy played well, especially intercepting a few passes from X. He was more willing to step out and get into passing lanes - good on him.
I didn’t think he made many amazing saves however. I think Princeton’s D just got better
I thought he made one or two that were great. He was disruptive. But that’s their problem.
Indeed these injuries suck. Hopefully we can get healthy as the season goes on.
But the kids found a way. That’s the takeaway.

Watched some of Princeton Navy game. Princeton has a good team. This was a big win.
@Golfer2019 #44 off the schnide. Gotta love that bomb! What a rip. Hopefully he just settles in and plays now without thinking and needing to get that first one. More to come there.
Love the switch of Gallagher and Coyne. Both seem like they are in more natural positions. Coyne was getting by his defender seemingly at will. Once he starts shooting on the run with more consistency and confidence look out.

It was nice to see...hopefully that opens the waterfall a bit...When given time and room, he can shoot it with the best at this level...
That first half is what we need to be consistently, but easier said than done as you know...second half was rough on offense...hopefully they have a good practice today and use both films to figure things out...
Great win yesterday...I actually like 39, 0, and 44 as a line...
I agree with your assessment on Galley and Tommy...see if that sticks.
Tuesday nights game will be a tough one...Lehigh is very good
Oh, and the defense and Max were outstanding as has been noted already here
