Re: Lowell @ UVM 11/6

vermont has had three TV games. they ain't looked so hot.

btw it was nice to be right about that vaunted vermont defense*.

15 goals in your last 5 games aint actually a brick wall you know, with 3 of those games at home where is your vaunted defense?

That's 15 goals allowed in 6 games, and it's 3rd in Hockey East (18th in the country). Vermont however, with 19 goals allowed in 5 games is 8th in Hockey East (9th worst in the country).

In three TV games lets see they lost to #1 DU 5-4, Beat #1 DU 6-4 then beat #12 BC 4-1. Can't see how they looked all that bad????

Lets face UVM has played very poorly the last two weeks against MC and ME, but they played well at DU and they played some good hockey against BC at home. If you are basing "how good" UVM is on the TV games and don't think they looked good then I can't see a team in the country that would be playing to your standards.

I am interested to see what happens this weekend. The cats have been playing poorly and I fully expect Sneddon to give them a wake up call. If that Cats respond it will be a great game, if they don't I expect the UML will have little trouble beating them, and the gloating can begin, deservedly so.

I have to imagine Spillane will be in net this weekend, which is a little nerve racking. It would be his first game of the year, but Sneddon was definitely not happy and when he speaks of a "yard sale" of changes I got to imagine that Madore will be one of them.

Not sure what was up with the defense, but Medvec, Miller, and Cullity each with 2 penalties is unexcusable, The top 3 d-men can not be taking penalty after penalty.

Anyways, UVM wakes up it will be a great game, if not well it will certainly make the trip from Lowell to BTV worthwhile for UML fans.

It is nice to see Irwin with another point. Looks like at least early he has stepped up his game like he needed to. And already nearing last years point total.

I'm sure Sneddon will get their attention. What's the status of Milo for Friday's game?

Milo is not schedule to return as far as I know.

Re: Lowell @ UVM 11/6

When the expectations ratchet up (like they have for Lowell) every game becomes tough. I think UVM almost desperately needs a win, and that scares me.

I was impressed with their play in Denver, but the last two games have been ... well, shocking. Which UVM team comes to play Friday?

Hoping for a Lowell win, but it'll be interesting.

Sorry, missed it... what happened to Milo?

Took a pitch to the ankle or lower leg during his last game with the Staten Island Yankees during the baseball playoffs in early September. Returned to school and had to have it immobilized. Hopefully he returns soon after he is able to start skating again.

Believe it or not I think that was against the Lowell Spinners.

It should be an interesting and tough weekend for Lowell, as they play two teams that have struggled recently.

Yikes.

Re: Lowell @ UVM 11/6

Milo remains "out indefinitely" according to the radio show last Friday - this is a month after he was supposed to be out 3 to 4 weeks - so it appears all is not right with that ankle. He is the top returning point man for the Cats I think so it hurts not having him available.

Any Cat fans talking smack before this game ought to be smacked. Sneddon had a week to knock some intensity into the players after the embarassment at Merrimack and they responded with their worst period of hockey this year to open the game at Maine.

I would have expected this game to be very good if UVM were playing well, but that is not the case by a long shot. Sneddon has promised major lineup changes so I think some of the top UVM players will be sitting in the stands for this one and I think UML should have a relatively easy time of it.

I hope I'm wrong of course.

Lowell never ever ever ever makes anything easy.

I hope you're not wrong.
