Sounds like a plan. Tell Sneddon that when they get a tough draw, I'll be sure to send him a postcard from Detroit 2 weeks later.

Um, no you added to it. That's not fixing it's modifying, adding, altering, changing, etc etc but it is not fixing.

Yeah, I am a glass half full kinda guy. And hey you know, with a 3-2-1 record against ranked teams so far I'm a bit more optimistic then if they were 1-1-1 or something. Playing tough competition is important and a split with #1 DU certainly looks better then had our AD Corran set us up with two against UAH or someother bottom of the barrel teams. I mean its fun and all to see your team beat up on weaker teams, but it doesn't get you far come selection time. So, yeah maybe I am a bit optimistic.

Fix: "The act of adjusting, correcting, or repairing."
Wouldn't you know the two bolded words are synonyms. I'm glad you agree that I did fix it.

Re: 2009-2010 Official Vermont Season Thread
Only someone who is unhappy or yes bitter would spend so much time trying to take away other peoples joy from something they had nothing to do with. Paint it anyway you want if you were so content you would not be posting here. Look thru your posts and see all the negativity goes to prove my point.
Vermont fans can enjoy our team's success even if it doesnt end in a NC, you have got so used to winning that you cant take pleasure in anything less than a NC. And it so bothers you that we were happy so have to come here and try to make yourself feel better because you were not happy with your teams results last year.

All of these are predicated on a mistake or error. adjusting, correcting or repairing. Ergo, no you did not "fix" anything.

Re: 2009-2010 Official Vermont Season Thread
Hmmmm... if you're not a shrink you really ought to be. Considering you aren't right about a single thing here and that they are absolute phonies, it would be a logical fit for you and the profession.
Trust me, I wasn't happy with my team's results last year. Am I happy as a pig in mud with my team's decade (the "Team of the Decade")? Absolutely. Does it make it even more funny that my team has really earned their way through the NCAAs on every single one of the 8 FF trips in my Frozen Four while not being impressed with a trip to the FF through AFA and Yale? 100%.
Slice it any way you want. I'm very content and yet I do take pleasure in making you Vermont 'tards look stupid. Someone call Doctor Phil, there must be something wrong with not being impressed with wins over an ECAC team and a mid-major team like AFA. OH NOES!!!!!
I think it bothers you guys so much that the outside world (outside of Vermont) isn't that impressed with two wins against Yale and AFA. But then again, I'm not a shrink so what do I know? Hahahahahhahahaha (<------ contentness!!!!)
FWIW, I'm not sure which of you twits were arguing that Yale was a powerhouse, but let me give you these numbers about ECAC teams in the NCAAs and how badly that league prepares teams for the tourney.
- In the last ten years, the ECAC has only averaged 1.9 teams in the NCAA tourney per year. That's bad. It's basically bare minimum a power conference would expect.
- The winning percentage by ECAC teams in the NCAAS? 30%.
- NCAA participants... 19... Frozen Four entrants? 2. That's an 11% success rate at making the FF.
- Taking into account that 40 slots were available for the FF in the last 10 years and ECAC teams accounted for just 2, that's 5% of the field. Pathetic.
Compare these numbers with any of the CCHA, WCHA, or HE and you'd laugh your balls off (assuming a UVM hockey player was holding them) at the ECAC. So whatever seed Yale had secured, great. But I'm not impressed with anything from the ECAC... ever.
You all have a less than average day.

Besides that you said UVM was 2-1 last year against BU when they were actually 2-2.

This post is sick. It's over-the-top demented. You should be terribly embarrassed you wrote something like this. Go away.
Re: 2009-2010 Official Vermont Season Thread
I think we should schedule a brawl. Nickpapalovesu, UMLGEEK, and PATMORONICK versus Jcarter.
My cash is on the UMLGEEK and PATMORINIC knifing Nickpapalovesu before Jcarter shows up and then PATMORONIC and UMLGEEK both jumping of the bridge into the Lowell river when Jcarter throws a couple bags of free crack over.

Re: 2009-2010 Official Vermont Season Thread
How many more posts until this thread fills up and we get to start a new one? Or maybe we should just start a second "hockey" thread.
Anyway, I was at the BC game on Saturday (picked the wrong night) and had a few comments (maybe they have already been discussed, but I don't feel like reading through all of that nonsense).
1) What the hell was going on with the replay? In my opinion, Vermont had gained the momentum and that sapped everythign they had. What was the problem? Technical? It took longer to review that goal then the one against AFA.
2) Madore is in a sophmore slump. It isn't a cliche, it is a real thing. Freshmen come in and do well and when they come back for the second year the expectations are too high. I think Spillane is good enough to carry the team until Madore (if ever) figures it out. It also isn't helping the supposed strength of the team, the defense, can't figure out how to avoid the destructive error.
3) Despite the lunacy of the posting on this site, I generally like the "action" surrounding the UVM team right now. We must have had 300-400 fans at teh BC game Saturday (compared to the 2500 from BC, I thought the football game was away???). Also, all of these intruders posting on our page just shows that they actually think that we matter now. We are worth the bad-mouthing, bashing, and badgering. We are putting ourselves on the map --- hopefully the recruiting map also. Although, as BC proved last year, getting the best recruiting class every year doesn't mean you make teh NCAA tourney (had to get one shot in their).

Re: 2009-2010 Official Vermont Season Thread
Hahahahaha. Keep working on that guys. I am willing to bet that when UVM people stop touting Yale as great because they were talked about on the selection show that things may die down. Just a hunch. A lot of grasping at straws here from the hippies.
Seeing as how jcarter started the thread, he could delete this sucker and save a lot of UVM folks (esp himself) the embarrassment of having these posts on record forever. Then UVM fans can get a new thread. Everyone wins.

Re: 2009-2010 Official Vermont Season Thread
tbh, I don't think jcarter has been worried about how he appears yet, so expecting it to change on a new thread is a bit much.
