I'm rooting for UNH and Maine to be joining us instead.
But because every hockey team I root for loses, I can pretty much guarantee that won't happen.
Dont worry Jon, I'm pretty sure vermont and lowell only bought themselves a week more of inevitable elimination. We'll be joining you on the golf course soon

Re: HE Quarterfinals: #8 Vermont @ #1 New Hampshire: "Spooning Since 1791"
I'm not doubting the Wildcats as a I'm hopeful and confident that they will advance to the Garden.. my simple observation is that in this very tight league they have not dominated a series(on the ice) in quite some time.. Perhaps the last BU game was the best that they've played and that was back in Jan. Lots of great efforts, OT's and come from behinds in there between now and then- but no clear cut dominations.
Despite the overall records between the two teams - and it is pretty lopsided - it don't mean diddly coming into the playoffs.
What I noticed the second UVM game at the whit is that UVM has a bit of a size advantage and used it quite effectively against UNH in the offensive zone. They were able to bang around and muscle out a few pucks as well as find their way to the net because of it. Having said that if they are too aggressive in doing so- UNH has proven time and time again recently that they don't need many chances to put pucks in the net. First and seconds lines continue to play well and tally points and we even saw the 3rd and 4th lines play a big roll in coming back against BC on Friday.
End result -UNH right now has too many guys who score big goals - Butler, Thompson, LeBlanc, Sislo - Kessel etc..
the 98 goals scored team beats the 78 goals scored team in HE play wins in 2 games. I expect/hope to see both to be very tight, well played and competitive.
Game 1 3-2 UNH(OT)
Game 2 4-3 UNH

A UVM fan in the student section a couple years ago -- might have even been the first time UVM and UNH played at the Whit as Hockey East opponents -- had it on a sign. I thought it was clever, so I straight up stole it

Re: HE Quarterfinals: #8 Vermont @ #1 New Hampshire: "Spooning Since 1791"
I was very impressed with how UVM played at the Whit three weekends ago. In addition to cycling well in the offensive zone (as noted above), they effectively "trapped" UNH making it difficult for the Wildcats to get out of their own zone and through the neutral zone. What impressed me most was that UVM played well in spite of the major disruption of losing their second-leading scorer under contentious circumstances.
Despite what a few insufferable fans from Beantown believe, there is a lot of parity in Hockey East this season. I don't think any of the first four seeds in the tournament are a lock to advance to the semifinals. I'm looking forward to more exciting hockey this weekend.

HAHAHA!!! Priceless.

He was fine until he crashed in to the guy in the pink polo (who wasn't paying any attention to him) and then tried to start a fight with the guy. That is when the cops appeared and he got tossed.
HAHAHA!!! Priceless.

What the heck did he do anyway???? Actually make some noise at the Whit?
Hey is that cop ex UNH alum and actor "Jim" from whatever that show was a couple of years ago? Spitting image. Although fat dopey white dude in a security outfit is pretty common
HAHAHA!!! Priceless.

2nd year in a row, this LCD got arrested, last year he was flipping off the crowd and throwing stuff at the UNH band director while they were performing...

Was more impressed with UVM several weeks ago than with UNH. Many posters have noted the successful come-from-behind efforts, but they are so unnecessary. This became clearer this afternoon watching Bowdoin and Middlebury skate hard for sixty minutes. They were all over each other; no one had much time to make a decision. For only short periods did UVM or UNH display that pressure.
Watched the UMaine-UMass game Saturday nite, and they too -- both teams -- had long, lax periods that we never saw even in the Div II semifinals on Saturday afternoon. The winners this weekend, in all four matches, skill level differences notwithstanding, will be the teams that skate the hardest the longest.

On that same night in the opposite end of the rink there was a UNH fan who did not like it that a young(College age both)Vermont fan was standing up and supporting VT so he would also stand up and repeatedly(at least half a dozen or more) spew out F-bombs and other words like Pu$$y and others and this in a section full of kids and families. Anyone within 5 sections could hear this as it was when the action on the ice had stopped.
The funniest part was the friends he was sitting with seemed to be more embarrassed that anyone.

That guy was awful; he was sitting in section 115, right next to the Visitor's section. It's too bad so few can spoil for so many.

Re: HE Quarterfinals: #8 Vermont @ #1 New Hampshire: "Spooning Since 1791"
it IS embarassing being around people like that.
Its too bad that happened, usually UNH and its fans are treated with such class up at the Gutt

I hope he is "scared ****less" this weekend too then. I'll take 36 saves and only letting up one goal any day no matter what emotions a goalie is feeling.
