Merrimack College Hockey 2009-2010

Re: Merrimack College Hockey 2009-2010

Wow, big win on the road for the Warriors, and 3/4 points at the Gut, a tough place to play, well done!

only 2 points out of the last playoff spot, I think? (somehow UVM is in 8th but 11th in the pwr... makes sense)

I am just as surprised that we have been able to stay up so high in the PWR. However, UVM has had wins over top 10 PWR teams like BC, Yale, UMD, and Denver. The team right now is a shadow of the team that had these huge wins early in the year. Kudos to Merrimack for a great weekend at the Gutt...Dennehy certainly has the team headed in the right direction.
 
Re: Merrimack College Hockey 2009-2010

zero chance that Cannata wont play as much if not more than Braithwaite

zero

not putting down anyone but he is the future, MC is not even considering bringing in anyone for next year other then to back him up



No comment................
 
Re: Merrimack College Hockey 2009-2010

I watched the Saturday night game on the B2 webcast. Merrimack had clear control of the Saturday night. I call it poetic justice seeing them win with less than 2 mins left in the game.

DaCosta had an unbelievable late goal. He smoothly maneuvered through 2 defensemen like it was his day job!

Great win Merrimack!

Do you self-quote all of your "predictions" that end up being hilariously wrong? Just wondering.

P.S. How's Moore doing in his junior season? It's too bad the US didn't take him, because the team they picked really sucked.

If I feel like it I will.

Moore is doing very well, an NHL first round pick while you are trolling dboards and or sniffing jocks

Is playing for Kitchner, a top team in OHL and has 39 points in 41 games, leading all D on team in scoring.

Thanks for the gray rep Hoky. I knew I could count on you to fill me in on the 'inside scoop' by looking up statistics that one could readily find on the internet...



Anyway, my apologies for sidetracking the Merrimack thread. Great weekend for those guys. Here's hoping they keep it up.

Another big win tonight, the team is playing great and canatta is looking solid back there right now. Moved us into the 8th playoff spot and only 4 points out of the 4 seed and a home series with a game in hand. Sort of a strange game tonight but a 4-1 win is always nice. Hopefully we can take one tomorrow on the road and get into great poistion for the rest of the stretch run here.
 
Re: Merrimack College Hockey 2009-2010

Cannata 3-0-1 in last 4, 1.5 GA and save pct of over 940

Tending had been tough all year, 4 straight Hockey East games, 7/8 pts. With good tending, team can make a run for 4th.

Cannata is the horse to pull the wagon
 
Re: Merrimack College Hockey 2009-2010

Glad to see The Mack doing well, good for them, great for HE.......looking forward to a that weird tuesday night game at The Heights.........

AMEN! I'll save you the trouble of replying to your own post! ;) 4-0-1, 40+ saves tonite.

Nice win for the Warriors. Terrific snipe by DaCosta for the nail in the coffin.
I like their chances to move up in the standings. They now have the tiebreakers over Vermont and UMass. 2 games in hand vs. the Minutemen, who have a tough remaining schedule (@ BC, 2@ Maine to close out the season). 'Mack with @BC, 2 home with Maine, and home and away with the Friars. 3 home games where they have been very very tough.
 
Re: Merrimack College Hockey 2009-2010

2 weeks ago we were 0-12 on the road going to UVM to play 2 and on the outside looking in and now we are staring a chance at home ice in the quarterfinals in the face. the team is playing incredible, canatta has been dominant and Da Costa is just filthy. lets see if we can steal one from BC tuesday.

He's definitely taken over the starter's job with his play, no question. If it keeps up it bodes well for next season.

There was never a question about it. Zero chance Coach Dennehy didnt look at him as number one, just had some kinks to work out, which he did.
The thought of trying to bring in a goalie next year to take his spot never crossed his mind. I know that sounds over the top but it is reality.

Hokydad, Merrimack is recruiting a scholarship goaltender for next year to replace Brathwaite. He will probably play in at least a few games. Drew is a walk-on, solely there to open the door at home games.

I respect your opinions and you are fairly knowledgeable, but sometimes your wild and abrasive comments go over the top. Obviously, Cannata is a good goalie and will be the starter as long as he is at Merrimack, but I'll guarantee you he never starts more than 30 regular season games.

That I agree with.... My only point was very simple. Dennehy knows exactly what Cannta is, he is a difference maker. Has a long history of off the chart games where he can win games by himself. going back to prep school, at BCH, at the natl team etc. Even in his first start eevr at Merrimack he had 40 plus saves in a 1-0 as a true 18 year old feshmen. Dennehy knows that he is the horse he wants, still loves the fact that Merrimack ws smart enough to get in early and grab him

He is their goalie and will be as long as he stays. I do agree the post sounds a little arrogant but it is not ambiguous and neither is dennehy in his plans with MC hockey.


Hopefully Canatta gets the nod Tuesday.
Braithwaite owns BC.(/Quote)

1 win in 4 years by one goal, zero other wins in 4 years vs them. Outright ownership there.

the big game is tuesday. your guys win that, i predict they run out the season and get home ice (if they win out, they are guaranteed home for the qf).
 
Re: Merrimack College Hockey 2009-2010

obviously tonight is a huge game for the warriors. I'm very interested to see how it shakes out. Anyone know if this game will be on NESN or anything like that?
