PC vs UNO; Why not a thread?

A thread involving Providence College athletics suddenly shifted to basketball?

The only surprise is it took until 2015.

I simply hope that the rules are uniformly and fairly applied to everyone, all the time.
When one team is in the box for 10 minutes and the other team in the box for 2, it makes you wonder.

And yep, again. Massa= Gillies.They both stay square to the puck, they both stop almost everything they see. They both make some big saves at big times. So it comes down to special teams, odd man advantages, a break here and there, finishing your chances, taking the goalies eyes away.

PC can put a lot of pressure on in the forecheck, Omaha generally comes out very hard at the beginning of the game.
If I was Omaha, I'd be looking to disrupt the PC breakout, get some intercepted passes near the pc blue line, and transition quickly.Otherwise I'd be very defensive.PC is going to be PC come hell or high water.

The same Gillies with the .897 Save % and 3.00 GAA in the regionals?

Against Miami and DU, two pretty decent teams, both in the top 11 nationally in terms of offense.

How'd Massa do against those teams this year?

To save you the time, he didn't face DU. Against Miami? 1-1, .897 Save % and 4.01 GAA. Not sayin', just sayin'.

3 of the 5 Miami goals were with an extra attacker after PC went up, 6-2. Blasi pulled the goalie with 13:00 to go and Miami almost came all the way back. I'm sure PC won't mind a repeat 4 goal advantage on UNO, even if UNO scores 3 EAG to ruin Gillies Save %. ;)

Go luck to the UNO team and their fans! Enjoy the experience!!!

One of our teams will be playing for the championship tomorrow!!!! I'd love it to be my team but if it's not in the cards then I'll be wishing you well.

Go Friars1

Honestyl, as a former official, I see it the complete opposite. when one team DESERVES many more penalties than the other team, yet both teams get teh same number of penalties, it is clear to me that the worse offender is the team getting the breaks.

sometimes (and usually) one team deserves more penalties than the other team... in such cases, the pp chances should not be even.

officails have an expression... "there should be the same number marbles in each pocket by the end of the game"... I have always disagreed with this philosophy

Re: PC vs UNO; Why not a thread?

Interesting 1st period with UNO taking the first 15 minutes off and then coming alive. Having not seen Providence all year, do they have the energy to skate this hard for 3 periods?
 
Re: PC vs UNO; Why not a thread?

Congrats to PC!

Just wondering is there a Miller Effect?
Steve Miller probably knows more about DU (for sure--recruited most of the team), Miami(good friends▼with Rico), coached against Blais at both UND and UNO.
An unfair advantage;):rolleyes::D
 
Re: PC vs UNO; Why not a thread?

Well i didn't see that complete arse kicking coming. Nchc!

Saying UNO took the first 15 minutes off is completely disingenuous. They were totally and thoroughly dominated by Providence.
 
Re: PC vs UNO; Why not a thread?

Providence dominated that game. Congrats, I'll be hoping Providence wins Saturday.
 
Re: PC vs UNO; Why not a thread?

Great job by the UNO players though, taking UNO to the Frozen Four. I hope they build off this.

I don't think it's disingenuous to say at all. I don't see how it can't be both. Providence thoroughly dominated UNO all game, for sure. Absolutely. But UNO also came out with no fire, and no speed. They took the first 15 minutes off from that perspective. Providence completely took UNO off their game, hence the reason they won handily. But if you thought that UNO came out with fire and looked ready to play, you haven't watched UNO this season at all. There was no Zombo check at center ice, no hitting on the defensive end at all. Providence deserved it, and UNO looked happy to be there.
