They added another USHL forward the day before in Garrett Gamez, unlike Kavanaugh he comes from the opposite coast

Nice job by Ellis tonight for the Friars as he made several outstanding saves on deflected shots.

Offense is still non existent for this team...

A win is a win but it's troubling that this team can't score on even a semi regular basis. Last year they produced timely goals. This year nothing.

Gillies was disciplined by Leaman last night according to one of the CHN writers for an unspecified violation of team rules. Seems like Gillies has his eyes on the NHL instead of taking care of business.

Took a look at the CHN story mentioned below. I thought it a good win by the Friars in a place that is often a house of horrors for PC teams. I like the fact that Nick Ellis got the start and I do like a two goalie rotation even if a team happens to have one of the top regarded goalies in college hockey. Not thrilled that Gillies sat due to a suspension. However, I would like to see Nick get some starts this year against good competition. It only helps PC over the long haul.

From CHN Blog

Providence has struggled in the early going, more-so than people thought it would but it will find itself near the top at the end of the year. Its even keeled play and lack of getting rattled will take it far. Providence was the more patient team and it showed. The defense bent but didn’t break and when it did, its goaltending was there to back it up. Providence is built from the net out, which is usually the mark of a great team.

I guess the writer found a pair of PC rose colored glasses up there at the Whit after publishing that statement.

Wrong on Gillies. His ficus is 100% PC. First guy on ice to hug Ellis

If his focus was on PC, he doesn't break team rules

Gillies ficus is where it should be. Ellis rose to the occasion and my tulips will do him praise. He's a tough son of a birch or so I've heard through the vine. Where does this stem from? I can't leaf this alone; the root of this problem is that this season hasn't been a day at the beech. Leaman needs to put the wood to our power play - this is no oak as acorny as it sounds.

Re: Providence College...the battle goes on...Boston twice in 15

Just noticed Gillies is number one in Hockey east in save % at 949 and total saves at 183. Third in Hockey East in GA per game at 1.68.

Off year

Little annoyed that he is not top ten in scoring though.....

Looking at the real numbers (all games played)... stats as compared to other Hockey East goaltenders...

6th GAA 2.26
3rd Save% .927
8th Win% .450

I'm not saying these numbers are good or bad. Just sayin'.

Since when are games vs different opponents the REAL numbers

Merrimack goalie is ahead in GA but has played Mercyhurst twice, Holy Cross twice and Princeton. 4/5 at home

PC played at UND twice and at Ohio State twice

PC played at UND twice and at Ohio State twice

And Ohio State is under .500 at 4-7-1 while that Merrimack goalie gave up 4 and 3 goals in each of the Mercyhurst games at Erie so his numbers are far from inflated from those games.

Re: Providence College...the battle goes on...Boston twice in 15

Just guessing but would bet a little tougher playing 2 weekends on the road early vs UND and Ohio State vs home against Mercyhurst and Holy Cross....

But hey, Merrimack beat 1-6 Princeton, and 3-5-4 Holy Cross twice as well. Tough early season road, with 4/5 at home

Since they played the game.

OK... you may think you can pick and choose what games count or don't count, but in reality, if you payed in the game, those stats are real, and they count. Just sayin'.

W_T_F does Merrimack's opponents have to do with Jon Gillies stats?

we get the point dough boy. Gillies is a below avg goalie

Must suck being 3-3 over past 6. Team has scored 1 or less goals in all 3 losses

Save % in those 6 games of 902, 904, 976, 971, 1000, 935. Save % over past 6 is .948

GA in those 6 games 4.12, 1.00, 2.00, 1.01, 0 and 2.04. GA over past 6 is 1.695

All 6 vs top 3 teams in Hockey east BU number 1, VT number 2..



This coming off an injury that limited training last summer

A lot jacka%%. If one goalie plays two on the road vs N dakota and 2 on the road vs Ohio State that would be a tougher route stats wise vs playing 4 at home vs Mercyhurst, Holy Cross and Princeton. Pretty sure most would get that logic

Don't yell at me. I'm just posting his overall stats.
Contact HE and the NCAA and tell THEM to fix it for you.
