BU-Merrimack 11/13 and 11/14

youre right - and i didnt say millan played well by any stretch last night. my point was against his argument that cannata was the difference last night - this is absolutely wrong. there have been a few *** goals this year from millan, but many more 2/3 on 1's and forwards alone in front of the net due to defenders who are lazy or aren't paying attention. i remember when millan was first playing last season, my beef with him compared to rollie at the time was that millan had trouble controlling his rebounds. he got better as the season progressed but it came back to bite him a few times. Millan certainly doesn't get a get out of jail free card for the 2-6 record, but at the same time we're not 2-6 largely because of him coughbennettcough.

It is not absolutely wrong. The first period was all BU and Cannata, being the goalie that he is kept his team in the gave and thus gave them a chance to adjust and kept them in a position to win. Dennehy knows that, saw that and I can asure you appreciates that fact. Thats what big game goalies do. just like Millan did last year vs UNH in regionals.

2. I didn't make any outrageously wrong comments about last nights game. My opinion is just that, an opinion/observation. What fact is wrong?
3. I don't have an agenda against any player. Did hear BU fans say he was better then JC many times last year, which he is not. They won the NCAA championship game in spite of goal tending last year. Regionals, he was very sharp, championship game was almost given away.
You can blame the team, dump on the D but at the end of the day, he is paid to stop the puck. Cannata did, he didn't. Shots are and were 34-34. Bu outshot MC 12-5 in first. Even up MC gave up zero goals, BU gave up 3. BU had 12-7 power play advantage,
34-34 is a fact, not an outrageously wrong comment

Cannata is the better goalie

just because the shots per team are even at games end, and your team scores more goals than the other, meaning your goalie made more saves, does not mean at all that cannata is better than millan... on that reasoning, which seems to be yours.

Hokydad said:
Exactly. He accuses everyone of being biased when in fact it is he who is jaded. Cannata leaving a rebound there and BU not scoring is a bad thing for Cannata but when the BU leaves a rebound and MC scores, its not Millan's fault.

The facts of last nights game speak for themself.

no kidding but you have to start somewhere and few positions focus more on stats then between the pipes. It sure as heck can't be portrayed as a negative.

Lets see...

First period BU outshot MC 12-5, second periodwas 14-11 for MC. Total after 2 periods was 23-19 in favor of BU. BU had 12 total power plays and MC had 7. Shots for the game were 34-34
MC scored 4 even strength goals, BU scored zero even strength goals.
MC has a very good team and Cannata is a big part of it. He is a quiet hummble kid who diverts all the praise to his team.
He is the better of the 2 goalies and will start to play more of the games as the season goes on. MC's other goalie is outstanding as well but this is not Dunham and Snow and MC will make their move and the move will be JC.
great win, BU will be ready tonight.

Does anyone know why Warsofsky did not play for BU?

for cannata being the great goalie that "he is," how come brathwaite got the start tonight?

to go along with your cannata > brathwaite theory, and your focus on stats.... entering tonight:

Brathwaite - 3-1, 2.5150 GAA, .914 sv%
Cannata - 3-2, 3.0239 GAA, .909 sv%

based on the stats alone, wouldn't you go with brathwaite here?

That's a bit of a silly question, I would think you would know that. If Millan is the great goalie we all think he is, why did BU put in Rollheiser? You know that if a team has two good goalies that there can be a rotation. Especially if you blew out a team the night before and want to give the goalie a rest and the other goalie a shot.

Brathwaite obviously was not able to come through with a good performance (based on the goals). Unless I hear later that those four goals were all picture perfect, impossible to stop goals or Merrimack defense decided to go to sleep.

I have been asking for Rollie to get a start since he's been dressing again.

My point was that Hokydad thinks Cannata is so great, yet Brathwaite got the start tonight instead, after "handling" BU last night. My response to Hokydad saying that he thinks Cannata is the better goalie and will soon get more playing time than Brathwaite.

brathwaite just got pulled and cannata is in
down 5-2, only goal cannata let in was on a 5/3.

You didn't answer my question. I can only assume that you would have preferred Cannata to start from the beginning... so why didn't he?

brathwaite is 24, cannata is 19, a true freshmen

Cannata may be 19, but he isn't a a true freshman. This is his second year on the team.

There goes your credibility....

You should know better than to ask this. One, it is hokydad, why bother? Two, teams rotate goalies. If you check up on Merrimack's stats you would see both goalies are getting almost 50-50 time and both have great stats. Why not put in Brathwaite? BU was a joke yesterday and Cannata was not really tested. Perfect reason to put in Brathwaite to test him against BU as well as judge whether a rotation would work or pick one goalie. You know, kinda like what BU did last year.
 
Re: BU-Merrimack 11/13 and 11/14

It's very simple, if we stop responding to the moron's stupidity and asking him follow up questions that will obviously just result in more stupidity, he won't have anyone to talk to and the thread will be readable again, or we could be like some other schools that keep responding to him and then he will stay in all of our threads.

It's not hard, Ignore the Troll.

Also CC, the video you uploaded is getting national attention, well done.

Hey Hokydad,

I think PC91 is over in the Providence thread posting over and over again. You better go straighten him out.

Sorry Squaw, I prefer to stay here and read your inside information/AKA tid bits off the MC website. We know how hard that info is to gather.

Just like last year when it started out 50/50 and ended 80/20. It will happen again and will so sooner then later.

you did not say that.

grammar 101:
"brathwaite is 24, cannata is 19, a true freshmen"
the phrase "a true freshmAn" refers to the one before it, "cannata is 19" which is written in present tense, thus you implied that cannata is 19 and a true freshman.

Cannata is a better goaltender than Braithwaite, but I don't think that margin is as big as the score showed tonight nor as much as you'd like us to think. Also, to your earlier comment about goaltending being a position that is big about statistics, I disagree. Forwards you look at points, defense you can look at +/-, hits, but with goalies their statistics can vary even moreso than the other positions depending on the play of those in front of him. And I know you must believe this since you've been vaunting the "fact" that Millan is inferior to Cannata when their career stats would suggest otherwise.
 
Re: BU-Merrimack 11/13 and 11/14

Heh. Millan has more wins in an average reminiscing daydream than Cannata has in his career. Hokydad might be the worst poster on USCHO.
