2009-2010 Official Vermont Season Thread : The Sequel

I'll go with a basic eye ball test. I think Lowell and BU were better than UVM, and nationally teams like Ferris or Duluth were better, too. UVM had some good early wins and hung on for dear life to get a 4 seed. Good luck with Wisco, because that game could be a disaster for UVM

UVM beat Duluth?? went 2-0-1 against BU???

They had some good early on games against the best teams in the country and throughout the season they collected enough wins and points to have MORE PWC wins then Ferris and UML. UML?? Really??? Did that weekend sweep of UAH impress you that much? Or was it the tourney's they won...oops lost to UNO oh well there was the Leydard....nope lost to NU.


P.S. when using the "eyeball" test it works best if you keep them OPEN.

My eye balls saw Duluth beat North Dakota, Denver, and shut out Wisconsin this year. Neither UMD or UVM are great teams, but the math worked out for UVM and not the Bulldogs.

UVM shut out UNH 2 times, Yale 1 time, beat Denver, UMD and BC 2 times.... basically UVM got in right about where they should have...in by the skin of their teeth. As for UML they were probably a bit better but didn't play as good an OOC schedule and that is what killed them (along with losing to Princeton and UNO)

As I said, they benefitted by the PWR. Im not going to sit here and lie to you and say that I think UVM is one of the best 16 teams in the country this year. If you think so you are lying to yourself. Maybe they'll make the best of it and win a game, but I expect Wisconsin to beat them pretty easily. We'll see.

I think this show just how mediocre (parity? :rolleyes: ) the rest of the leagues are outside of the top 2 or 3.

And looking at Ferris their OOC were

Yale (lost 6-1) UVM beat Yale 1-0

and

Connecticut, RM and Canisius and MC


UVM's OOC were

Yale, Denver, UMD, UAH, SLU and Dartmouth


UMD and Denver (UVM 2-1) are the difference between these schools in or out..

Huh? So what are you saying? UMD shutout Wisconsin so they aren't great? UVM beat UMD so they aren't great either? So what does that make Wisconsin?

Why can't you just answer a question straight up when asked?

Im not playing the "transitivity rule" game with you. I'm telling you that I've seen UMD and UVM play on a handful of occasions this year and I think that UMD is better. They play in a better conference this year and beat some quality teams. UVM beat them in that game, but if they played ten times, I think UMD would win 7 of them. I would rather have seen Duluth in the tournament because I think they would have a chance vs. a team like Wisconsin.

Why didn't UMD win more comparisons then UVM then?
 
Re: 2009-2010 Official Vermont Season Thread : The Sequel

But Slasher, BC went 1-2 against Lowell this year. Obviously that makes Lowell a better team...:p
 
Re: 2009-2010 Official Vermont Season Thread : The Sequel

It looks like BC got that easy road to the final four that you all claimed Vermont got last year. First Alaska and then wouldnt this be fun...Yale?

It would be shame if they didnt get through those two games huh?

But but but JD..........

I asked for a reason why he says what he says and the best answer I can get is the "eyeball" test from the clown. Then he states UMD beat so and so and shut out Wisconsin and they aren't great and neither is UVM. I think that it was justified to ask him what he was saying. This isn't WW2 and there is no need to speak in some type of code. Just say what you mean for christ's sake.


BTW, nice to see you guys miss me so much as you have to come over here.

Even if they do it won't count. Beating Yale and Alaska is no different then beating Yale and AFA. They have set themselves up so that even a Frozen Four appearance won't matter. They need to get at least to the finals:p

If you think Yale will beat UND, then it is true: Everyone in Vermont IS high. Somehow even if Yale did win, UVM would probably raise a banner at the Gutt to commemorate the event.

That's just unnecssary. There's no need to take your anger at me out on addidas Jerry.

Your post wasn't directed at him, much like my original post wasn't direct to you. Taking your aggression out on him is just being a grade a hypocrit.

Again. Because of the PWR formula. Maybe UVM will bore Wisconsin to death or blow the roof off the place and score 2 goals.

What part of it do you have a problem with.

UVM beat UMD H2H so they get a point.
RPI is based on SOS and win% - that's a pretty fair comparison if you ask me.
COP : is pretty fair I think
TUC : also is a big one, since it's how you play against other "good" teams.


Not sure where your problem with this is? Care to explain?

Sorry but you must be new to college hockey.

Just ask the high seeds last year or hell from most league playoffs this year how important seeds and records are come playoff time.

I love how you say we are high to think something might happen then in the next sentence start covering your tracks when it doesnt. Boy you sure sold your arguement there.
