A little over a score of young men, a coaching staff, and 5310 people found out what happens when you take care of business and taking eight out of nine possible tiebreakers...you can finish in second place :D

Bucky, a really really good post.

I just looked this up, the UML seniors have a chance to actually leave about .500, which after last year is extremely impressive.

08/09: 14-11-2 HE, 20-16-2 overall
09/10: 12-11-4, 19-16-4
10/11: 4-21-2, 5-25-4
11/12: 17-9-1, 22-10-1 (ongoing)
Overall: 47-52-9, 66-67-11

Have to figure that Wilson has won the HE ROTY, and Bazin the HE Coach of the Year.

Quick look at the HE stats shows Wilson finished tied for 6th in total points (28), Wetmore was tied for 8th (27) and Arnold tied for 11th (26), while Ferreira and Pendenza tied for 19th with 22 points. Arnold finished tied for fourth in goals in league play with 14, and Wilson finished tied for 8th with 12. Wetmore finished tied for 6th in assists. Arnold was tied for the most game winning goals, with 4. Ruhwedel was tied for fifth in points by a d-man (18), while Wilson was easily the highest point scorer as a freshman (6 more than BC's Gaudreau), and Wallin was 5th in that category (18). Pendanza was second in +/- with a +17. On the goaltending side, Carr wound up second in GAA with a 2.17 (behind 1.85 for BC's Milner). His 92.7% save rate puts him at fourth in the conference (UNH's Casey DeSmith finished with a 92.8%), and he also was second in goalie win %, only behind Milner.

Thanks, Monty.

A few more team stats from Hockey East comparing last year to this year. Hopefully, we won't have to see this dramatic change from season to season in a long time.

Wins: +13
Losses: -12
HE Point Diff: +25
Goals For: +30 (90 vs 60)
Goals Against: -34 (68 vs 102)
GFPG: 3.33 (+1.11 goal improvement from 2010-2011)
GAPG: 2.58 (-1.26 goal improvement from 2010-2011)
Diff. + 2.37 (That's going to win you a few more hockey games ;) )
 
Re: UML 2011-2012 Thread: Part II

This team creates goals... period... you can tell in their demeanor and they earn it on their forecheck.

I don't know what Val's future looks like... but i'm going to miss that effort and the way he makes opponents look silly... doing it since freshman year and I hope he's able to continue for quite awhile longer.

edit: its funny... I said earlier in the year that I'd rather play open and win on occasion and lose a few games giving up 10 goals than to play defensively an uninspiring and give up 5 and lose every time. If we only knew, huh?

The event after the game for the Srs was very nice. I am a bit confused by why it was done that way- Maybe because they aren't done and it kept the focus on the game and not on that? I don't know. I would love if they opened up the end of the yr thing to the fans and pushed it. The last few yrs the end of the yr thing was dismal. With the fan support they have now it would be kind of cool to have a way for people to show their appreciation when it wouldn't distract from the game.

I'm glad to hear the event for the Seniors was nice. I'm sure there's a reason why Norm handled it the way he did but I know a few of the parents were disappointed.

I thought I'd share one of the pictures that Bob Ellis took on Saturday. This is one of his better shots:

Wow- that is amazing! How does he talk and shoot at the same time?
 
Re: UML 2011-2012 Thread: Part II

I don't suppose bob would be willing to provide a version in laptop screen sizes? (1680x1050 or so).

I don't know if I've lost this but at one time I was using a photo of uml/mc center ice w bunyon dropping the puck... McGrane days.

UML returns to the #7 in the USCHO Poll, one spot behind BU. BC got all 50 first place votes, so obviously is #1 in the country. Maine stays at 10, while MC falls 2 from 12 to 14.
