2009-2010 Official Vermont Season Thread : The Sequel

Re: 2009-2010 Official Vermont Season Thread : The Sequel

Trying to follow from afar at another game... So indulge me, please.

Judging by last post UVM is in and goes to Maine? Yes?

Three goal weekend. Yikes. Many thanks to bu for allowing us to back into the playoffs. Thankful to be in though and have another shot at unh

Very interested in game reports from the uvm fans that attended. I am away and did not have radio...

Thanks

That was seriously the worst overall games from two team I've seen in a while. However, congrats to UVM for taking advantage of the refs putting the whistles away in the third. Lowell should have, but did not.

Congrats to UVM for making the playoffs.

Is it safe to assume you'll be raising a banner for getting the 8 seed? Big accomplishment!!!

Wouldn't be surprised to see UVM give UNH a lot of trouble next weekend, to be honest. It's going 3 games...
 
Re: 2009-2010 Official Vermont Season Thread : The Sequel

Refs put the whistles away both ways, though they did call the obvious one in OT against Irwin.

Got to think that if UVM plays like they did the last two nights against UNH, the season is over.

Hoping that they play more like they did against BU.



Who's making the trek to the WHIT?

I will be there!

Ahh, the big four are back on top again....never would have thought it would fall out this way in pre-season.

Didn't go to Friday but inquired on how Madore looked because of my concern of him logging so many minutes and in so many pressure situations. Someone reported back he was fighting the puck and although he played well tonight and got a lot of praise I thought he fought the puck at times in this game as well. A few that he should have handled cleaner, a few that found his armpit and just went wide, and a couple juicy rebounds that the defenseman were able to jump on. The one goal was a pp side to side at the crease play so no fault of his so by no means can you complain with one goal against. Hope they give him some rest this week.

All in all not an overexciting game considering the magnitude. The Holmstrom hit from behind should have only been two IMO as Miller was turning sharply to his back hand side when the contact was made. Actually found myself watching the score update in the arena on BU-NU, went from 3-3 to 4-3, but then took forever to go final. Stalberg, Burrows, Lawson, and Mackenzie played well and to some degree the other defenseman. Those four should be the leaders next season as they are playing the best in critical situations. They need to utilize Lawson's shot more on the right point where he can one time it. Stalberg has impressed me, he never takes a shift off and is a factor in every shift. I like his effort and he has seemingly gotten better game to game. Macarthy and Pacan had some mental giveaways tonight that turned into 2 on 1's the other way. The fourth line didn't see many minutes but had a tough time getting out of the zone when they did play. Miller made a real nice play on the Stalberg goal, faking the shot and taking it along the right wing boards wide finding Stalberg on the left wing face off dot but then he almost gave the game away in OT. Guys looked tired and beat up a little, I think an extra day off this week could be helpful. It's all mental and what level of effort do you want to give in this next season.

I'm sure this was meant to be spiteful but, yeah, that's the reality of it. We've got our hands full. As another poster commented, if we play like we did the last two games, we'll be going home pretty quickly. I didn't see either game and only listened to one, but it sounds like we didn't bring it against UML.

On the plus side, there's so much parity in Hockey East that an 8 seed beating the 1 seed isn't at all unrealistic. We played great at UNH a few weeks ago. If we do it again, and get some breaks, we'll be headed to the Garden.

UVM is a tough matchup for UNH, there's no doubt about that. I think you guys win a game, but ultimately fall in 3. They play so well at the Whitt, especially in the third period.

I guess we'll see what happens. Good luck.
 
Re: 2009-2010 Official Vermont Season Thread : The Sequel

I don't understand how this team goes from playing so well the prior two weekends to basically not showing up after the first period friday.

I actually felt like they were peaking nicely but if they were it sure was short lived.

Can't figure them out. These were do or die games and I'm disappointed with the effort that they apparently put on the ice

They clearly need stacey back but no news on when that migh happen.

Glad they got into the playoffs and I hope they put up a better fight next weekend.

They are a mystery. Spring break, I believe, this week...so no excuses for school interfering with prep time for UNH.

I watched both games on D2 and UVM started out well Friday but when McCarthy made that trunover and UML tied the game they never(we have seen this before)were able to get it going again. Also give UML credit for not letting VT get good rushes deep into the zone as they glogged up the blue line very well late Fri and most of Sat. BU and UNH let or were not able to stop Vt and it showed in those games.
