Union Hockey 2011-2012 season thread #2

Re: Union Hockey 2011-2012 season thread #2

At this level its going to be about which team stays focussed, ignores the limelight and wants the win. Any of these teams can win it all. I don't buy the BC/Minnesota victor will rule. Ferris and Union have played and beat too many "Powers" this year to be impressed. Since January 1,

UNION is scoring 3.95 goals/game and holding opponents to 1.66 goals/game (21 games)
B.C is scoring 3.54 goals/game and holding opponents to 1.67 goals/game (22 games)
Ferris is scoring 3.29 goals/game and holding opponenest to 2.24 goals/game (21 games)
Minnesota is scoring 3.05 goals/game and holding opponenst to 2.29 goals/game (21 games)

League play is a hard one to call. I think this year the leaguse are more evenly matched. In the Playoffs thus far:

ECAC 3-1
WCHA 4-3
Hockey East 3-3
CCHA 2-4

My guess would be that "This Year" the ECAC has gotten more competitive and the CCHA less so and HE and WCHA are just tough again. Who is going to take it? Which team wants it more. Which team has acid in the gut. Goaltenders and Defense and Depth are all great but which teams wants it so badly they can taste it. I don't know? None of the teams are playing like they want to go home anytime soon.

Some great hockey tonight !!!
Go Dutchman, make us proud !!!!!

You already posted that. In fact, 5 of your 14 posts are that. We get it. The people in the semis thread get it. You don't need the whole thing just to tag on "Go Union!"

They just showed the "Union" band... Who did they hire this weekend?
 
Re: Union Hockey 2011-2012 season thread #2

Does Union have a "game tracker" site or any other way we can "watch" what's going on even if we don't have TV coverage?

Congrats to Union for a great season. I thought that up until the first Ferris State goal, you guys were outplaying them. Certainly, you did a great job on face-offs. Tough way to lose on that rebound - the FS player was in the right place at the right time.
