Re: 2010/2011 UML In-Season Thread

I had to chuckle

Looked at the RPI

Lowell ranks 56 out of 58 - only behind Colgate and Alabama Huntsville

Lowell has the lowest winning % out of all 58 teams.

When you read how the RPI is calculated - the first line states "*Team's RPI has been adjusted to remove negative effect from defeating weak opponent."

I will take a negative effect any time now.

Does that mean UVM sucks?

I will be making the trip to Tsongas tomorrow night. My goal, as well as my UMass-Amherst friend, is to make the NESN broadcast with our witty comments as my seats are directly below the TV/Radio broadcasters.

Is it sad that the season has come to that for me? Geez we stink.

Anyone see Blaise during the second intermission of the Bruins game?

Re: 2010/2011 UML In-Season Thread

Yes, it was very interesting!! Blaise said, "one of the biggest problems this year was the injuries." I liked when then they had him analize the last 40 seconds of the 2nd period.

one of the biggest problem we have every year is injuries

It isn't the only problem but not only are they unable to play some of our best guys, they can't sit the ones that aren't the best. THis was supposed to be the year we had some spare people. Um, not happening. This is reminiscent of when they railroaded Riley. The kids that survived that were an amazing bunch. Probably the best I have ever watched. The years after that were painful.

You sew what you reap only it takes awhile to see it. I have stopped caring in self defence. Really stopped as in going thru the motions but if they win I will be shocked out of my shoes.

Don't worry, it's in the bag for tonight.

Or I am.

One of the two.

100% agree - what a cop out. When have you ever heard Blaise take even the smallest amount of blame for taking something that had a little bit of promise and running it into the ground like HE has. This is all on him. It's his "genius" grand plan to load the classes for 1 or 2 years so they can make a run at 4th or 5th place in Hockey East that result in such a minute room for error when a few upperclassmen get injured.

Stop with the excuses, look in the mirror, and start to take some accountability.

Did anyone hear the comment that Blaise made to Millbury stating I'll do the 3rd period analysis if you coach my team tomorrow. Wish Millbury had taken him up on it.

Seriously considering wearing a paper bag to the game tonight...

Re: 2010/2011 UML In-Season Thread

Why, dear lord, are we using a geometric mean?

All of the numbers are positive and it's a better average to eliminate our sucktastic outlier of nearly 4.00 goals per game.

You're not the only one, especially if Amherst goes up 3-0 or 4-0.

You know, Steve, a wise person once told me, "Be careful what you wish for"

Re: 2010/2011 UML In-Season Thread

Just a reminder the game is at 7:30 tonight. More time to drunk before the game so I don't remember how bad we played.

actually... yeah as a measure of the average team that's probably a roughly decent method... I won't explain why... too nerdy.

Talk about a quick start......Wetmore from Cey and Vallorani 28 seconds into the game. Hopefully all lines keep the pressure on.

Re: 2010/2011 UML In-Season Thread

I must be outta my mind. Did they really pick Edwards as the first star. Please tell me no. What exactly is his plus minus anyway? He needs some serious help getting back his mojo.

He got the #1 star because he scored the "GW goal" by kicking it into his own net

Re: 2010/2011 UML In-Season Thread

The announcement was a mistake. The PA guy mistook the feed he got and reversed the order. The box score should confirm this.

Re: 2010/2011 UML In-Season Thread

What about the shot he took in the first period that went a foot to the left of OUR net when he was trying to put it behind the net? That one was a bomb. Even if order was reversed he was on the ice and instrumental is almost every Amherst goal. He frightens me. I thought he was bad but am always told that I don't know anything. Well, I sat next to a hockey coach who sang the same song.
