HE Quarterfinals: #8 Vermont @ #1 New Hampshire: "Spooning Since 1791"

Re: HE Quarterfinals: #8 Vermont @ #1 New Hampshire: "Spooning Since 1791"

It doesnt look like there will be much of a Vermont fan turnout for Friday and Saturday with both Basketball teams playing for NCAA berths on Saturday. If the series goes 3 there might be more. Glad the mens game is at noon and not 8 like the ladies.

The way things seem to be going in HE in the last month I would bet against any team coming off a good weekend and take the odds on the team that struggled.

UNH should sweep based on what I saw from UVM at Tsongas on Friday and Saturday.

Can't say that I have. Nor was I aware of racial implications of calling one a "zipperhead" :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :p

Will "tool" suffice? I don't want to irritate the fine folks who work for the Stanley company. :rolleyes: :p

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 second that. ;)

If you have watched UVM at any other time this season you would know that this is invalid logic. Perhaps a sweep will happen but not based on the reasoning of how they played last weekend. UVM is unfortunately very inconsistent and saying how they will do one week based on the last week is like predicting the lottery. However, my lottery prediction is that this series goes to a third game.

Anyone think that UVM would get to practice at Lake Whit? I doubt it but if Sneddon asked would it be allowed? Would it even make a difference? Should it be allowed for teams to get a feel of the opposing ice? Thoughts?

So, which team's 1-point weekend was "good"?

I know for NCAAs the teams all get designated ice time. But do you really think Sneddon will bother? I don't know when your spring break starts, but it's already a three hour drive from Burlington to Durham. Allowing time to loosen up after the bus trip, they'll probably leave UVM around 12noon; check in at 3pm; dinner at 430; at the Whitt by 530 (I have no idea what their schedule is, I'm just basing this off the few times I drove other NCAA hockey teams). You want ice time before the game, you're talking about leaving Burlington before lunch time . . . just something to consider.

I could be wrong, but I would think UVM would leave for UNH on Thursday and have a game day skate Friday morning at the Whit.

On paper, UNH should win, and advance to the Garden. While I'm hopeful that they will, the Wildcats don't seem to like to play with a lead. Instead they've been relying upon comebacks, with mixed results. If that is the case this weekend, and Madore is hot, then an upset, or at least Game 3, is indeed possible.

If UNH does get to the Garden, and/or to the NCAAs, I believe their success rests with scoring goals and defending a lead, rather than in the hope of an improbable comeback victory, e.g. vs. NoDak last year, or BU's thriller in the FF Final. And I haven't seen anything to make me believe that they are capable of playing domination hockey -- though I'm happy to be proven wrong, at least in this regard.

On paper? Isn't that where UML was playing for 1st in HE? ;)

If I wanted to read posts with fans from two teams who played yesterday and the day before needlessly bashing each other, I'd go to the UNH v. BC thread :D

I'll settle this silly debate once and for all:

UVM and UML both suck. :eek: ;)

And we have a winner...they both suck.:D UVM and UML both need to win to get a shot at the NCAA's. Lose and go home.

It looks like Merrimack will be practicing twice at Agganis before their series starts.
From the Warrior Rink Rat site:
Merrimack will bus from North Andover to Boston on Thursday to practice at Agganis Arena, site of this weekend's Hockey East quarterfinal series with Boston University. All practices will be closed to the public.

The Warriors will bus from Merrimack's campus to Agganis Arena on Thursday for a practice. They'll also have their morning skate on Friday morning at Agganis Arena, in preparation for Game 1 of the series on Friday night at 7:30 p.m. (televised on NESN).

The WhitteMorgue will be in full force once again, as UNHs terror at the thought of St. Paddy's with the students on campus drives them to schedule Spring Break starting this weekend.

With some of the excitement back (sell-out vs BC), I'm sure most of the extra student tix will be scooped up, but as with the Verizon, the crowd isn't the same.

The last time UNH sold out a Quarterfinal series was 02-03 and the only other time going back to 98-99 was the year before 01-02. Many season ticket holders don't buy the playoff tickets. UNH teams with far more hype than this one have played the first round at a 2/3 full Whitt.

I expect plenty of seats will be available.
