Well, with Aughe, add 20 mins to game time with faceoffs.

What kind of sad, warped existence do you lead where you continually waste your time typing out these idiotic posts? Why do you keep coming back to a message board whose users genuinely wouldn't care if you lost both of your hands in a silo explosion and could never type again?

I think you summed up all the Vermont fans feelings toward you and Goon.

Big win for the 'Hawks.

Agreed. I was pretty happy with how UML came out. The season's momentum is maintained. On to Providence.

Lowell has no shot, Cannata is better than Roy, Brodeur, and Dryden among others.

6 GA says no...

Went to the game last night and Chris Auger was an absolute beast!

It will be interesting to see how Merrimack responds after this. UML exposed a few holes in their game, namely the D folds BIG Time on strong forecheck pressure, and their goaltending (at least last night) is suspect. They also had a tough time defending down low on a strong cycle. UML set up two goals off the cycle that MC had no defense for. I fully expect other HE teams to exploit this stuff in the future after looking at the game film. MC needs to fix this or risk taking their customary place in the HE standings.

Re: Merrimack @ Lowell 11/21

Dennehy's 'I need to be very careful' comments are pretty good indicators that he thinks he got the shaft on penalty calls. I was not aware of the point of emphasis on the double-penalty calls if they're warranted.

Personally, there was one penalty call against MC that I thought was definitely a complete gift for UML and probably a second. I didn't get a good look on the double-call that put us up 5x3 for 2:00 so don't have an opinion on that.

I got a really good view of both penalties as I was in the front row and here is my take: the first penalty for boarding was called on Adam Ross and that call was probably a gift for UML. The issue for Merrimack is that the 6'4" Ross (and 6'5" Bigos) get a ton of bogus penalty calls because they are our biggest players, and focal points. I feel like the call on Ross was a fringe penalty that was called more because of Ross' physicality than for an infraction.

The Da Costa boarding penalty, called a few seconds later on the delayed penalty call on Ross was warranted...I didn't like it, but that was mostly because of the 5 on 3 situation the back to back calls created.
