Providence College on the road to Chicago

Re: Providence College on the road to Chicago

Although it stinks having to play UMess again this weekend, Friars need to win the first 2 just to stay in the PWR numbers, and even then they could go down depending on other results. I'll be there and hopefully most other fans will too. Students will be leaving on Friday for spring break so I don't expect to see many of them there. I expect UMess will be up to playing well and getting win over the Friars after last weekend especially Saturday. Suspect Leaman will have the boys ready for this know what is at stake.

LOL @ UMess.
 
Re: Providence College on the road to Chicago

If nothing else PC can use these games to stay in game shape without abusing themselves.....as long as the team doesn't decide its a cake walk and take them off they should win easily.....that said we have seen them relax and pay for it

Leaman really had those boys ready when they hosted UNH a few years ago....PC wasn't ready to play UMass this past Saturday and were outworked by the Minutemen for the final 50 minutes of regulation.
 
Re: Providence College on the road to Chicago

PC barely hanging on against a team with 5 wins all year. Hate the first round of HE.
 
Re: Providence College on the road to Chicago

Top line with all 3 goals tonight as Friars shutout UMASS 3-0. Hawkey was big in net keeping the Minutemen off the board.

Florentino sat with Monk coming back.

Duhaime Sukamaran out as well. Tait and Gamez and Lemos played

No reason to be sitting Flo and playing Young/Bryson over him. Young has done very little during his playing time and Bryson has been bad since at least the beginning of Feb. as he can be taken off the puck with ease.
 
Re: Providence College on the road to Chicago

Yeah I don't get what Young or Bryson have done to merit playing ahead of Flo right now. I thought he's done really well since his return to the lineup.

This has to be another reason that Ruggerio left is the crazy way that Nate has treated one of the defensemen from the National Championship team. Ruggerio was being benched in favor of these two also.
 
Re: Providence College on the road to Chicago

I definitely expect florentino in the lineup tomorrow. Tonight must've been Leaman giving younger, less talented defenseman postseason experience for the future, when they are losing 3-4 starting defensemen next year
 
Re: Providence College on the road to Chicago

The bottom 4 seeds all lost last night, by a combined score of 15-1. Tell me that this round of the HE "playoffs" isn't a joke.

Its is a joke. Next year, play an extra week of regular season and the 9, 10 and 11th place teams don't make the tournament. It won't happen though I'm sure.

It is a joke and I feel that only the top 8 teams should make the cut. That being said I feel that the Friars let UMass hang in too long giving the Minutemen some confidence going into tonight.
 
Re: Providence College on the road to Chicago

Hockey fans need to bombard the HE office with emails about changing the playoff format for next year. I bet attendance was way down last night, it was in Providence.

PC 1876 students on break
NU 1228 students on break
Mer 2549 sellout
UVM 3110

UMass does not travel well, I see no sign when they came to Schneider UConn travels well (and that is one of their easiest rides). Not sure how much enthusiasm from UNH and Maine to travel these days. These early round games don't bring the best out of road warriors.

Agree. I believe Bertagna has all ready said all 11 teams will make the playoffs next season.
 
Re: Providence College on the road to Chicago

Hockey East keeps all ticket sale money just paying
