I will condemn Michael Spillane for the UNH game after I am done discussing matters with Drew M(inus 3)acKenzie (-7 on the season) and with Patrick (-2) Cullity and with -2 Josh Burrows and their defensemates for leaving Spillane, and then Madore, out to dry on the goals. All of the 4 goals on 12 shots against Spillane were the result of glaring defensive lapses, not little ones.

As far as the D being responsible for goals Sunday I would have to point out on the third goal McCarthy was covering in front of the net for at least 20 seconds before the goals scorer went right past him to set up on the backdoor for the pass and he never picked him up, and on the 4th goal it was a bad gamble by Downing that let UNH breakout 3 on 1 and on the 5th goal it was Roos who failed twice to clear the puck when he had control high in the zone.

Defensive lapses yes but not by defensemen, at least not this game.

To UML Goon...where were you last week during your teams 3 game losing streak??

You seem to disappear from our threads when your team struggles. Not that we mind when you are gone it just proves how full of it you really are.

I think the fear that the season of seasons might not live up to what you wanted it to be(13-15 in the comp rankings)is not where most thought you would be.

Just a personal comment from watching the game on ESPNU and now seeing the replays on the UVM Hockey website, judging from Jack Downing's goal celebrations, he would have made a great goal scorer...his goal celebrations are as self-centered and selfish as any I've ever seen.

By contrast, Jack was in the middle of the celebration of Colin Vock's goal as Vock pointed acknowledgment to the passer, Drew MacKenzie. Almost like a team celebration of a team goal.

Jack's track record over the past three years...indicates there may be 4 more such celebrations this season. Which is too bad because he sure loves to celebrate his goals.

His celebration of a goal vs. Maine last year was similar...celebrate...no clue who gave him the pass to even make the shot a possibility. My youth hockey coaches always reminded us players to remember it is not who scores but who made the pass to allow the goal to be scored.

On goal #2 at the 1:21 mark of the video - both the D and F formed a nice barrier to prevent Spillane from seeing the puck. Blame can go all around on this one, but no one moved Butler out of the way.

On goal #4 it might have been a bad gamble by Downing but more of the blame could be given to 1) Roos for shooting the puck insteading of passing to a wide open Roloff on back door and 2) Burrows for following the play in too deep like he is a forward, not a defenseman.

Goal #5 might have been Roos not clearing the puck but Melrose is right as no one challenged the shooter. Higgins goes down to block a shot that never was taken.

as of this post, the UML thread seems to be on life support...not a single post since 2:37 pm this afternoon. Nothing to talk about in the utopia known as the Lowell valley?

Well UMLGoon, I am really hoping this will satisfy you and you will go back to your own thread. I am doubtful but here goes anyways.

UML last year had a better overall defense then UVM. This year they are currently also playing better then UVM.

I will not apologize for something I did not say, for instance I never said that UVM's defense was better then UML. I did say I would not trade, and I stand by that statement. But no you do not deserve an apology. Now go away son.
 
Re: 2009-2010 Official Vermont Season Thread

With regards to the UNH goals,

The second goal was no fault of Spillane's, he could have been in better position, but there was a mass of players in front of him and there was no way he was going to see it. I was surprised that the puck even made it through.

On UNH goal four there was a defensive lapse, there was also a goaltender lapse. Spillane was 15 feet in front of the net down on the ice? It was a very makeable save.

On UNH goal five, yes Melrose was correct in that absolutely no one bothered to move out on to the puckhandler and no one moved to get in front of him either, including Madore. Its like no one realized who had the puck, leaving a wide open net.

But regardless of defensive breakdowns a goalie in HE can not give up 4 goals on 12 shots. Not at this level. A goalie needs to be able to make the expected saves as well as bailing out his defense on occassion. Madore did that last year make unbelievable saves and that's why UVM was successful in part. Not happening this year by either goalie this year.

I suppose when you are up against another OOC powerhouse its hard to discuss the competition.

UNO, Princeton, UAH, SLU, Colgate.....that is some tough schedule there. Maybe next year they can upgrade to teams like Yale and AFA.

This coming from the guy who will never admit he is wrong. Stating how great UML was coming off a sweep, they now sit at an amazing 3-4-0 the weekend after their last 4 times they were swept. With impressive losses to Union and a 7-22 Providence team. Care to admit you were/are wrong???? I won't hold my breath.

Silly jcarter, looks like the pot's calling the kettle black. You should be paying attention to the job at hand.

As Pinhead Nation always pointed out there is Low, Lower, Lowest then Lowell. The "valley" is where the Lowell resides for decades at a time between the peaks of when they have decent teams...

As opposed to UVM and their CONSISTENT NCAA tournament calibur teams?

I've heard of the Merrimack Valley, just had never heard of the Lowell Valley :p
