Re: PC - A new start and a new venue
1. That was win #9....means we have more wins already than in 2 of Tim Army's 6 years and the next win ties the win total in 2 of the other 6.
2. Vermont was us before Leaman....great effort but give up the first goal and you play the other team's game and end up on the short end.
3. Actually I thought the defense played an excellent game. They remarked on the number of blocks and Army had a nice check at the right time when Gillies was out of position. I actually thought that was as easy of a shutout as you are going to get in Division I hockey
4. Hockey East tweeted the stat Gillies has only been pulled once in his career--and that was in his debut as PC mashed Sacred Heart and Leaman wanted to give some badly needed work to Stein. That being pulled actually probably cost Gillies another shutout as the goals Stein gave up were softies.
5. In regards to the broadcast. I thought Jaffe began the game with a script that tried to build up Vermont a bit, but as Providence took over he moved with the flow
6. Still think Ellis gets the Mayor's Cup game. He will get Army and Dartmouth which appear to be shaping up as 2 non challenging games. Since Gillies isn't likely to be here next year we need to know what he can do since we will have to do some late shopping for a partner for him.
7. That said Divver tweeted last week that over the break PC would like to bring in a new 3rd string goalie (or more precisely) replace injured Tyler Kapp who has a torn labrum. My question is why would anyone who is playing even part time come in as a walk on when aren't playing with Gillies around (see 4 above).
8. Good news for the Wildcats....looks like Nick Sarcino is heating up
