The University of Vermont Official 2010-2011 Season Thread : Part 1

How they posted nearly 50 shots tonight is miraculous. Passes were not crisp, puck was bouncing, and shots were from far away. The team did a good job cycling the puck in the zone, but always had all three forwards on the same side of the net. As for Dainton, he was not the best goalie, but certainly did control the puck limiting rebounds. Not discounting his ability, some saves throughout the game did appear to be lucky for him.
UMass's goals were epic failures in defense. Goal 1 was on the power-play with Madore going behind the net not returning in time for the open UMass player in front. Don't remember which was 2 and 3, but one was the puck bouncing of sticks and skates on the breakout giving the turnover to a forechecking UMass and a UVM that was on its way out of the zone and the other came from a point shot that was tipped in (three men in green were all behind the goal line).
Third period had a great start with the shorthanded goal in the first minute, but without a quick follow-up, hope faded.
Not a pretty night. Hopefully Friday is an improvement.
While not an excuse at all, it did seem like the refs positioning was interfering with play of both teams. On multiple occassions, the puck carrier would use the ref as a basketball player would set a pick.
Did anyone check the UVM goal called back due to the penalty? McCarthy was pushed down on Dainton who was already sprawled out on the ice in front of the crease.
Were Hansen and McDonald (Refs) protecting Dainton with two interference calls on UVM.

Let's see if all the bases were covered:

- Blaming the refs...check
- Saying the other team was lucky...check
- Claiming the better team didn't win...MISS

Well, you get a two out of three for excuse
making.
 
Re: The University of Vermont Official 2010-2011 Season Thread : Part 1

Yikes, what a disappointment. Have to agree with Patronick, UML Goon, and the other haters, right now we have no reason to think we're better than any team, much less UML. Although defense would have to be the biggest disappointment, I don't see us ever being a top-tier team without players who can put the puck in the net. You can teach defense--you can't teach goal scoring. Sneddon needs to start recruiting some natural goal scorers, even if their game is a little one dimensional.

"while not an excuse at all...." *makes excuse*

at least i have ONE thing to be happy about this season
 
Re: The University of Vermont Official 2010-2011 Season Thread : Part 1

And jcarter - 2.5 goals per game is nothing to be excited about and don't compare them to the other HE teams - nobody has played enough games for that to be meaningful. UVM has not really played anyone that good yet either.

No you right it isnt, but it is some what idiotic to say "don't compare them to other HE teams" don't you think? I mean who else should we compare them too. Most teams have played 1/3rd or more of their season. That's not enough to be meaningful? 30-40%? Should we wait until 100% have been played? The cats had played 6 : 1 v ME, 2 v BC, 1 MC.... but they haven't played anyone good? OK.

Anywho, what's clear is the cats have a bad case of playing to slightly worse then the level of their competition. That is a recipe for failure, and after being relitively optimistic that the win would get the monkey off their back and on track that obviously didn't happen.


That said, after last nights game....


ABANDON SHIP !!!!!!

Re: The University of Vermont Official 2010-2011 Season Thread : Part 1

no you misunderstand me. i am talking about the fact that vermont is embarrassingly terrible

not in the 2 games i saw vs BC..........maybe they should just play the Eagles:eek:they could have swept or been swept, the games were that close and i thought BC played rather well so i don't understand their struggles

So your not happy about being an annoying putz? Hmm, I know the name of a good shrink might be able to help you out with that.

They compete decent against good teams. They tend to lay back against the weaker teams...for instance the 3-1 terrible loss to UML.

I didn't see last nights game so it's hard to say but Madore can't give up 3 goals on 10 shots or whatever it was. Regardless, they lost and need to play better. They need to play and play hard whether the team is ME, BC, or even UML.

But, as much as it pains me UMLGoon is right, losses to UMA and UML are embarrassingly terrible.
 
Re: The University of Vermont Official 2010-2011 Season Thread : Part 1

and somehow UML manages to be the most embarrassingly and the MOST terrible team in the league. Yes, worse than both providence and vermont. Look at your statistics, jackwagon. Your stupid team can't even get more than 15 shots a game. You don't beat anyone, you never compete against anyone. Hell, your school shouldn't even have a division one hockey team and you know it. I'm honestly just going to never leave your thread alone if this constant crap continues from you two. UVM's team sucks, but lowell's team shouldnt even be a division I, or division III team. Maybe club hockey is their best option. (Here comes the comeback with "oh we beat you guys 3-1 this year! and we beat you in the conference quarterfinals two years ago!) If that's all you have to hang your hat on (which it is), leave USCHO. Every vermont fan hates you, and every respectable UML fan is embarrassed to be associated with you.

The hilarious part, to me, is that you're so thick you don't realize Vermont is, at best, on par with Lowell and Amherst. Actually, considering your squad was punked by both Lowell and Amherst, UVM is really the bottom of the ladder in Hockey East. The difference between the teams is simple: Lowell and Amherst expected to be young and generally awful this season. Vermont was aiming "for a third straight bid."

But, by all means, continue to overestimate your squad's abilities and expectations. It's very entertaining.

The hilarious part to me is that you actually believe the diarrhea that comes out of you mouth. How many GPG is UML scoring? Giving up? UVM??

LOL. What a baby.

Is this really all that much different than "we beat Yale and Air Force and almost beat BU"?????

I mean really, you're a UVM fan... are you really talking smack to anyone? Especially Lowell, which has owned UVM quite badly for the last few seasons?

...wow...."LOL" what are you? Seven? And actually, yeah it is quite a bit different because has lowell even made a frozen four? I'm not going to comment about BC, because I respect the institution (to a degree). It's pretentious, snobby fans however. No. No respect whatsoever. Especially to someone such as yourself. I'm curious, what was your major at BC? What are you doing now? What are you doing with your life? Have you made any use of your 125,000 dollar over priced education? I remember when I visited BC and this girl was talking to our group and she said "I transferred from UPENN to BC because I wanted a better education." Everyone started laughing. It was highly enjoyable.

And last I saw, UVM beat BC 5-3, so shut your piehole. The only reason you're winning any games at all is because John Muse is ridiculous. The rest of your team looks subpar, kind of like the UVM team you're chastising. Muse has saved your butt in almost every game where you've been severely outshot and outplayed. I have no doubt BC will pick it up later in the year, but he saved your butt in the first game against UVM. hopefully that doesnt happen when they meet again soon. I'm not optimistic about it, but boy am I hoping for a beat down just to shut your pretentious arss up.

YAY, we beat BC's backup goalie in November!!!!! Raise a banner! Oh let's put it next to our moral victory banner when we almost beat BU in 2009!!

Sure... maybe beating BC again this weekend will shut their fans up... until March when BC will beat UVM again (how many in a row is it for BC over UVM in the postseason? Then again, don't count on it... UVM could miss the playoffs this year... forget the NCAAs, cancel those travel plans there chief) and their team starts to take hockey seriously... nice luxury to have, isn't it?

As for my job and education, I was a business major at BC and now I sell hockey tickets to UVM hockey. As you can see from the waiting list and capacity crowds every game in Burlington, I am great at what I do. Selling a terrible product like UVM hockey should be so difficult but taking advantage of dolts is what every good businessman does. I learned that long before I attended that pretentious school in Chestnut Hill but let's be honest, I was 18, wanted to have 4 great years and had a lot of money to waste. You call it overpriced, I call it cheap and worth every penny. That's the difference between riffraff like yourself and people like me.
 
Re: The University of Vermont Official 2010-2011 Season Thread : Part 1

ohhhh man that makes me feel better. A business degree. Wow, you're a smart ****ing guy. I got a physics degree. And im pursuing a phd in astrophysics. You have nothing on me when it comes to intelligence and i'm GOING to be arrogant about that. Normally I wouldn't, because Im a pretty humble person, but you're a dirtbag. Ahahaha this is great. I KNEW you were going to say business. Might as well have gone to community college to get a degree in that. This is awesome. You made my night buddy. I'm having a few shots. To you and your useless degree! And calling me riffraff? Try doing what I did in undergraduate school. Try even COMPREHENDING what I'm doing for my phD work. Oh mannnn I'm so relieved you're just a numbnuts retard. Enjoy selling tickets the rest of your life. Now I know you're just a rich unentitled (and stupid) piece of crap

HAHAHAHAHAHA. Yea, I've got one of those degrees too there, chief. Don't get too excited. So does my butler Winston for that matter. It wasn't required when he interviewed for the position but it comes in handy sometimes. If the position ever opens up I'll have my secretary give you a call.

Tomorrow we will all gather at the manse and give thanks that we aren't UVM hockey fans. HAHAHAHAHAHAAH.
 
Re: The University of Vermont Official 2010-2011 Season Thread : Part 1

I was just saying your degree is a cake walk and that I'm simply more intelligent than you. That's all. Question though. If you spent all that amount of superfluous cash on a BC education, why not at least major in something dignifying? Dude, most athletes major in business because it's so easy. Your butler Winston? That clearly shows you haven't earned anything in your life. You're an overprivileged idiot. I'm highly enjoying listening to your banter now. I'd rather earn my money and earn my living than have a useless job and know I'm an incompetent idiot who mooches off my parents. Another shot to you! ( by shot I was being figurative and literal. Johnnie Walker Black Label for ya and reiterating the fact that you're useless). But hey, if you're okay with being rich and stupid, then by all means, indulge! Don't even try to respond to this, because it'll just make you look like more of a fool. And FYI, a business degree isn't a legitimate degree. My pet dachshund could major in that. Odds are you couldn't survive physics even if you tried (did your butler take your business exams for you?)

And yet you spend all of your time in here in a sad attempt to increase your own(clearly low)self asteem.

Sorry bud...but your teams success doesnt hide the fact that if you really had a higher opinion of yourself you wouldn't feel the need to post here.

And if anyone needs proof only a loser would laugh at his own jokes.

Ditto to UML Goof and Peiceofcrapnic
