  • Merrimack College 2010-2011: taking H.E. one chair-back seat at a time

    Alright, first game is just 5 days away. Anyone have any scouting reports on Niagra? How are they looking this year? Also, does anyone know where a video feed for the game can be found/bought?

      fantastic, thanks ice. I was at Lawler on Friday, renovations are coming along nicely. The stripping of that horrible looking tin-foil ceiling really opens the place up. But the new student section benches behind the far net look kind of small to me...we were averaging 500 students a game last year and it really doesn't look like it will come close to fitting that.

      Anyone have any thoughts on where the spillovers will be? I would assume not the chairback seats as they are going for 20 dollars.

        Not that it means much but Niagara (not Niagra) beat York 9-0. Last year it was 5-2 so they may be improved. They return a key player lost to injury last year Ryan Annesley who was their captain and a very good defenseman. They lost a great playmaker Chris Moran who held the school assist record however. The Mack better come very ready to play or they will not come out with a win.

          Thanks BC,

          The one thing I really don't worry about with this Mack team as of last year is work ethic. 4 years ago is a different story when the team pretty much was unable to compete I can understand them throwing in the towel. But this group of kids underestimates no one. I expect them to go in there with intensity of playing a big name HE school and keep their foot on the gas.

            Merrimack will have plenty of fire on Saturday if the Blue/Gold game is any indication...Kyle Bigos and Ryan Flanagan got into a skirmish and were both assessed penalties. It was short of throwing punches, but these guys want to win...

                Why the hostile attitude college hockey fan?

                I took photos for the student newspaper and for athletics so actually from a photo standpoint I enjoyed the reflective ceiling as it reflected more light down onto the ice allowing for a faster shutter speed.

                I never said that from a functional standpoint the arena is better off without it, I just think aesthetically it looks better, nothing more nothing less.

                  college hockey fan,

                  take it easy man. Just settle down and enjoy the season. I know you might be having a bad day, but jeez.

                  I really do hope that MC doesn't come out flat against niagara. In years past merrimack sometimes has a tendancy to start slowly against "weaker" competition. This is a different type of team though so i hope it goes well.

                      so anyways....now that the game is just around the corner. what are everyone's predictions. Personally I think MC comes out a bit sluggish, just due to early season jitters. I think they take this one 4-2....one of which is an empty netter....other predictions?

                        I will say 5-3 with an empty netter. One thing that is interesting looking at Niagara from last season: their special teams numbers are almost identical to ours. Granted, different conference, different skill level--but it's something the coaches will need to game plan for...

                          5-4. I don't think our offense will have trouble lighting the lamp, but I feel like the defense may take a period or two to get it goin.

                            Connor Toomey is playing good in the EJ, off to a good start, point wise. I like seeing two BC U-17 team members committed. I think Merrimack should be off to a 3-0 start if they are going to live up to the hype. Niagara on the road, opening game, will be a tough test. UCONN is a must-win as it's the home opener against a cupcake on homecoming weekend. You win convincingly over a "name" school and the fans will come back. UVM is hurting, losing another player, and will struggle offensively, but any game at the Gutt is tough.
