SPOILER ALERT.....

Richie Boyd skates to center ice before Friday's game....peels off his sweater with the "15" on the back to reveal he now wears "51" and hands the first sweater to his head coach....

they all had #15 on tonight in warm ups and tomorrow night will auction off those jerseys. Wonder how much fans will cough up for them; last year TyK's went for I think 250.00...

Watched the game on the IPad. It is beyond distressing to see how lifeless the team is. They make so many basic mistakes. Wrong passes in the defensive zone. Poor breakouts. No real push five on five. And the PP is abysmal. Can’t imagine what former players who came back this weekend, guys like Krog, Bekar, and the like, think when they see this poor excuse for UNH hockey. Truly embarrassing.

Poor breakouts? I really liked the improved breakouts this year by Gildon and Maass, early in the season. But, perhaps the coaches have successfully reined in their recklessness?

More true.

I know it's ridiculous to say, but I'd rather see Bekar, etc. suited up tonight. At least if the puck happens to find one of them in the vacinity of the net, there is a chance they can finish.

McAdams continues to hustle. Vela is snake bit.

Hey at this point...I'd like to see what MacAdams could do on that first line powerplay...

Most UVM fans who post on this forum aren't too thrilled with their coach but I'll say this for Kevin Sneddon; he sure knows how to beat UNH. Here are his comments regarding the first period where we had a lot of good looks on our PP's as per Alex Hall of the Union Leader this morning:

“He was great, especially early on their power play,” Vermont head coach Kevin Sneddon said of his goalie. “We didn’t cover the back door and he made a couple of post-to-post saves that at the start of the game could have been significantly different.”

With this loss getting the coveted 'home ice' in the You Know What HE tournament ;) is most likely slim to none without a win and some luck the rest of the way. Haven't looked at UVM's remaining schedule either. Just like the last 2 seasons UNH will most likely be...

My version:

On the road again...just can't wait to get back on that road again...playing hockey with my friends...like a band of Wildcats we go down that highway...hoping for something to go our way...we just can't wait to get on that road again....dum de dum.....:p

Ice issues at the 'Whitt forced the postponement of an OR game today...they (officials) were fixing it last night. Refrigeration issue/ didn't they just replace that? It was unusually cold in the 'Whitt last night; wonder if that had anything to do with this. Hope they aren't going to postpone our game tonight...so many people in town!!! :eek:

Many thanks, HR. I will wear it with pride at a MBPBEGAM game, as long as we do not travel to Notre Dame (aka NICC). What? You say that NICC is no longer in the HEA? When did 'dat happen?

...When they were too busy winning the Big Ten and becoming the #1 team in the nation....:rolleyes:
