East Regional- Union vs Vermont & Quinnipiac vs Providence

Re: East Regional- Union vs Vermont & Quinnipiac vs Providence

On a side note can Hamilton fan on one more pass? Maybe give up a breakaway?
 
Re: East Regional- Union vs Vermont & Quinnipiac vs Providence

Ha. It was probably 1999 or 2000? My recollection is that you're right that games there were generally not well-attended, but Union was, for a few years, something of a bogey team for Cornell (before Dartmouth became that team) so against them were pretty contentious and that extended to the atmosphere in the crowd. There was even a goalie fight as part of a huge line brawl in the game at Lynah on my 21st birthday, in fact. Ian Burt and... gosh, was it Leeor Shtrom at that point? I can't remember. Anyway, that really happened, regardless of whether or not you believe it.

I've been going to games at UC and RPI pretty much every year since I graduated. The place used to be 60% CCT fans easily when we went there. Now it's been a house of horrors for us. I haven't been there in a few years but I still make the RPI trip. The place is really a dump and the last time I was there, it was a bunch of bandwagon fans that wouldn't know a puck from a basketball.

Nice power play goal by Union... Looks like the refs have decided they should let Union play with an extra person to even things out some.

Yup, sounds about right. Basically what the crowd at Quinnipiac is like too.

hoffman does not have good lateral movement

biggest difference is the skating, union far superior

I go there every year too for the CCT game ... but Hamden has a special place in my heart after last weekend though. :D

Now that call sucked against brickley
I don't know. Brickley, sensing this could be his last game, just had to get in one more hitting from behind penalty for old times sake. How many times have we seen that? Union is very good, but UVM's playing STUPID!

Hamilton is terrible today. Brickley's hit was not bad. He has done much worse and watch the replay. The Union player was turned more shoulder to shoulder..not from the back.

Can someone tell me the meaning behind why guys run their hands along the ice after they score? Its been happening for years now but I don't know what it means or what started it.
 
Re: East Regional- Union vs Vermont & Quinnipiac vs Providence

Honestly, for our highest draft pick besides LeClair ever I'm not sure we miss Brickley that much. Whether they are good calls or not, he's a penalty machine.
 
Re: East Regional- Union vs Vermont & Quinnipiac vs Providence

Understandable. Congratulations, by the way.

I didn't do anything but cheer and drink but thanks.

UVM has had a couple of bad calls go against them, but they haven't helped themselves either. Union has been the stronger skating team through 2 periods; it will be interesting to see if the Cats have anything in the third. Hoffman let in a weak goal early, but he's really held them in the game.
 
Re: East Regional- Union vs Vermont & Quinnipiac vs Providence

Has Bucci proposed to Gostisbehere (sp?) yet? That was quite the gross lovefest in the first period.

It started at UND when they won their first NC, their hands were so hot only ice could cool them down. 😆

Playing dice? That's the best I can figure...
