Utica College: The gang's all here.

[PioneerFever]

"Pioneer Fever" is nubby's latest alias.

Same s***, different year.

The first time I found it kind of funny but now it's a little disturbing. You're completely wrong but keep going if you want as you just look dumber each time which from what I gather here is quite the achievement.

I'd like to share my thoughts on UNE but don't want to risk the wrath of fan forum gatekeeper Fishman. Perhaps he can start the discussion?

[Fishman'81]

Fishman has completely lost the plot.

BTW, when you point out he is wrong, and he actually admits it, he will still blast you for being an a**hole (not that I think you are, but Fishman will, even though he admitted you pointed out a mistake of his; trust me, been there, done that).

I was referring to the long-since known fact that the AHA tournament is being held at The Aud. Keep up, Russ.

Believe me, nobody around here gives a flying s*** about who's in that tournament, myself included.

And kindly refrain from feeding the multi-alias little weenie troll on here.

Thanks!

And you don’t disappoint, once again proving my point.

Even if you’re mistaken, and even if you acknowledge that, it’s obviously, from your shriveled up old mind, that everyone else are complete idiots because they can’t possibly care about something that you don’t care about.

So that is why you skirted any evidence earlier in this thread about powerhouses? You think everyone who disagrees with you is a multi-account troll. That makes sense. Maybe you should look in the mirror (I know it might be a scary sight) and realize that if everyone disagrees with you, maybe you are the issue. I would argue more, but it is time to go back under my imaginary bridge so I can hang out with all the other imaginary trolls that exist under there.

(First of all, this is attempting to engage to Utica fans, not casual trolls.. And thanks!)

We dug-up a bit of stats tonight regarding the UC/UNE game tomorrow.

The sole common opponent was Curry, and UC won that comparison pretty easily.

The GPG were a slam-dunk for Utica as well, but there's a bit of apples-to-oranges in that mix, as well.

The goalie comparison holds more water, but we're talking a single game here, and the save % thing between the two of then is very close.

Anyhoo, should be fun tomorrow. I predict a 4-2 Utica win, but we'll do Pho Mekong after the game (win or lose), and won't lose any sleep in either case.

Having said that, GO UCEEEE!

Will it be possible to get a ticket to today's game. Must be sold out as there are other college teams fans here for the game tonight ?

Someone just returned their allocation of tickets so there's more seats available than before

[UCBadger]

I don't know why but I found myself rooting for RIT last night. Last night made it 4 straight losses for RIT at the AUD.

However, expect the game to be soldout, so sshablak, don't hesitate.

I'll be in Geneseo, where I also expect a sellout.

[BetterInLakePlacid]

National Powerhouse. Perennial contender.

[MELIN27]

Did I see this correctly? UNE was NOT taken to double OT in Utica? ***? Was it because they got to cut their teeth on lousy conference bottom feeders who don't deserve to be in the NCAA playoffs?

Must be.

[sshablak]

I went to the game, UNE's goaltender absolutely stole the game. They scored a shorty and made it hold up until the open netter. Such is hockey, "A hot goalie can take you a long way". I was frustrated watching the game, it was tough.
Good luck to UNE, a cinderella story.

Girard certainly played well, but let’s not discredit the UNE defense that did an excellent job disrupting Utica’s zone entry at the blue line, especially in the third period. While they had 20 shots on goal, I didn’t see a whole lot of Grade A’s in that period and I credit UNE’s defensive game plan for that.

Also, UNE was very methodical and conservative coming out of their zone and entry into Utica's zone. UNE relied on short, crisp, accurate passes to move the puck up the ice. They did not take any chances with long cross ice passes or "TD tosses," thus minimizing a mistake which could result in a quick odd man rush counterattack.

Like Prez says, to just hone in on the goaltending play of UNE, misses eveything else they did. This was an extremely well coached team which had a plan to lesson the better talent on Utica, and they executed that plan perfectly.

They will also be very well prepared against Geneseo. Friday's game will be very interesting.

[sshablak]

Without that goalie they lose ! It all starts with the goaltending.
