AIC Represent!! 2010-20?? Thread

Re: AIC Represent!! 2010-20?? Thread

USCHO has us losing to Union 4 - 1 on Friday. I pray we score and it is that close. USCHO has us beating UAH 3 - 2 on Saturday. I pray it isn't that close. Team should be rested and well prepared for both games, so good luck to the boys.
 
Re: AIC Represent!! 2010-20?? Thread

Score was bad but the boys played a good game. We're able to stay with union most of the game and create scoring opportunities. Union scored on their chances and AIC didn't. Still a positive to see them able to play with one of the top teams in the country.
 
Re: AIC Represent!! 2010-20?? Thread

I agree,

The team can take this game one of two ways. Either they were blown out, or they can play with a finely tuned team if they can sure up a few things. They could also learn some things from Union's play with some of their passing schemes and how well they set up their plays.

Kerpan played well in relief. I have no clue what happened on Meisner's 5th and 6th goals. They seemed fluky, but I don't feel like I had the best angle.

Its obvious that you are poisined by bad AIC Loser Hockey and you have no clue what good Hockey is. The rinks a joke the coach has sniffed to much glue in his time and dosent knowthe game. Gary Wright should be fired period watch a practice and his drills there pathetic. Let the assistants have the team at least they know the game and can run a practice. The program should be shut down if not, Its that bad.

Seems a little (LOT!!!) harsh.

(Commence sarcasm)
All bad programs and teams should be shut down. I will go one further and give you a definition of a bad team. A bad team is one which has not won 17 consecutive NCAA D1 Hockey Championships. Close down all the bad teams!
Next season....crickets chirping...since there are no programs are left, they were all bad programs.
(End sarcasm)

I don't dislike teams that do not win. They exist. You have to have them. Every win for one team is another team's loss. The players on those teams train hard. They practice hard. They play hard. Sure, they may not win many (any) games. They may not have the skill, or the coaching or the facilities or the luck. But why hate on that?

What is it going to be tonight? After AIC's 0-8 loss to Union and UAH's 1-9 loss to Bentley the outcomes are intriguing.

20-20 draw? All offense and no defense. These teams haven't shown themselves to be goal powerhouses.
0-0 draw? No offense for either team lets the normally porous defenses keep the score down.
3-2 to AIC as USCHO predicts? A somewhat middling affair where a few moments of bright play expose the D.

I am hoping for a UAH win or draw but after last nights tanning I have no confidence. For both teams this is a possible win. Who will take the spoils?

J5:
These two teams (AIC and UAH) are composed of players who train hard, practice hard and play hard. They may not have NHL skills but they are NCAA D1 hockey players and I respect that immensely.

AIC beats Quinnipiac, Quinnipiac then beats Cornell and Colgate. I don't think Quinnipiac is just a bad team or had a dramatically bad game against AIC. It just shows that AIC is finally making some progress and definitely has the potential to move up the Atlantic Hockey ladder. This will be a good weekend to pick up some league points. Hoping the boys aren't flat with the bye weekend.
 
Re: AIC Represent!! 2010-20?? Thread

A nightmare tonight. Bentley was simply on every mistake. they were better, way better, with the puck in tight spaces.
The first period was kind of even, but after that, it went downhill. In the third, it almost seemed like Bentley toyed with AIC.
Rather frustrating game, glad it's over and hope the team forgets about it on Saturday.
 
Re: AIC Represent!! 2010-20?? Thread

Rough weekend. Only the first period vs Bentley and the 3rd period vs Sacred Heart were decent.

Some serious concerns: The D men need to be in position behind the net to take the puck off a pass (or from anything) and be ready to make a hockey move. Far too often the D men were pinning themselves against the boards which just lead to nothing good. Seemed to fix it a little better as the Sacred Heart game went on. There are also some lousy passes out of the zone at times.
 
Re: AIC Represent!! 2010-20?? Thread

D, goaltending (juicy rebounds) and shot selection. Looks like every goalie AIC plays has a big bull's eye in his chest. Would be nice to get more traffic in front of the net in the shots. Thought AIC outplayed Sacred Heart. Thought the shot count was exaggerated. They have SH 6 shots in the 2nd and I didn't count Any that were actually on net. Surprised when SH called a time out at the end the AIC coaches didn't even set a defensive play.
 
Re: AIC Represent!! 2010-20?? Thread

They Need to change the defense didnt one of the forwards #8 play D he was a D man that moved the puck well and was even on the powerplay.
 
Re: AIC Represent!! 2010-20?? Thread

Lucky to get the tie yesterday. Thank you Meisner. Today I imagine Canisius will be on fire to finally get a win. Hoping for the best. AIC needs to step it up. More shots and more traffic in front of their net. Better back checking to reduce shots. Forwards need to help the D! Good Luck AIC.
 
Re: AIC Represent!! 2010-20?? Thread

Sloppy first two periods by everyone on the ice and then they play a great 3rd period. If they played a full 60 like the 3rd they'd win. I am also sick of watching poor shot selection (low wide shots without traffic), ramming the puck back into the pads of a goalie in a butterfly rather than stepping back or around and going high and dumb penalties at the worst time. Why they never change the angle before shooting is beyond me. They keep coming straight at the goalie from the side and shoot; never take a step to center to change the angle and make the goalie move his feet before they unload the shot. Coaches?
 
Re: AIC Represent!! 2010-20?? Thread

Right on Coach not coaches the assistants need more control head coach will never get the pulse of his team because hes has no idea whats happening. Team is an older team but head coach keeps calling on the same guys that cant get it done. There are guys that keep getting there numbers called and dont produce theres no accountability, so they can do whatever they want and know there ice time wont be cut. Then you have player busting it with no reward hard to watch. There are first yeAR PLAYERS playing that shouldnt be in D1 hockey period they cant skate im sure you can see that so no need to name them. D cant make an outlet pass they panic get pushed around and # 3 and 6 should be forwards there not going anywhere at 5 ft something with no skill and constantly knocked off there skates every shift. Frustrating but it will never change head coach and athletic director are in a relationship CREEPY! How else can you explain 28 years of losing????? again CREEPY!!
