Good off week for UVM. get to rest from the trip and up to 4th in the PWR as of now.. BU 5th.. that will be big next weekend.
 
Re: UVM 2016-2017 Season: Go Cats Go!

Gotta hate off weeks after big weekends but on the bright side a few upsets in the top20 last night helped
bump the Cats up to #4 in pairwise & RPI. Only 6 more days till BU.
 
Re: UVM 2016-2017 Season: Go Cats Go!

What are we thinking in regards to the BU series?

The Gut will be rocking. The team is well rested, healthy, and should be motivated to get out on the ice after their recent play and the weekend off. I'd take a split, but even more than that I want to see the same style we've been playing. No sitting back in the trap! Lets take it to them on home ice and get a sense of where the team currently stands.

If Keller misses out that does boost our chances... don't want to root against a kid that's injured but hopefully he makes a full recovery (Sunday).
 
Re: UVM 2016-2017 Season: Go Cats Go!

Haven't been this excited for a December home weekend in quite awhile. Student tickets for Friday sold out in less than two hours so the Gut should be buzzing. I actually expect them to pick up 2 points, but if they could pick up 3-4 it would be a huge statement. My concern is that this team gets swept and it completely destroys them mentally.
 
Re: UVM 2016-2017 Season: Go Cats Go!

On an unrelated note, Burlington's Ben Finkelstein has 10pts in 18gms as a Freshman D as St. Lawrence. How did this guy not end up at UVM? Did the coaches completely miss him or he just wanted to go somewhere else? Not often that NHL draft picks come out of this state.
 
Re: UVM 2016-2017 Season: Go Cats Go!

The Friday game last year was one of the more entertaining games to watch. We hung with them all game and kept digging in the third.
I hope our forecheck tenacity puts some pressure on their youngish team.
The Gut WILL play a role this weekend!

Go Cats Go!

I don't see the Cats getting swept, but of course it's never out of the realm of possibility. Think this one's likely to be a split, although I'd give the Cats about a 20% chance of sweeping. Should be two good hockey games regardless.
 
Re: UVM 2016-2017 Season: Go Cats Go!

I'll predict a split, both 1 goals games, or 1+ENG, one goes to OT. Also, Conelly picks split but gets it wrong, and Hendrickson goes with a BU sweep because well because that's how he always picks.

Weekend really could go in any direction at this point. Either team ending up with a sweep would be well within reason right now. Cats are playing very well, BU just has so much talent... it's a toss up. Really going to depend on who shows up to play and who wants to work the hardest.
 
Re: UVM 2016-2017 Season: Go Cats Go!

I agree with the split most likely. 3 points plus would be obviously huge at this point in the season...

I don't see us getting steamrolled and swept (to the point of demoralizing the team). That said if it did happen we'll have a very good Union team coming into the Gut the next weekend...

There are so many tough stretches in the schedule but the next 8 games at home (BU x2, Union x2, Bentley x2, St. Lawrence, Northeastern) are a huge opportunity for the team to keep the run going vs quality opposition.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say Hendrickson will pick a split. It's the smart play and even Hendrickson's got to be getting at least a touch of Catamount Fever!

Read his USCHO Dear Santa column haha...

For Vermont
"And, of course, that USCHO knucklehead Hendrickson picks us to lose every game unless we’re playing the Little Sisters of the Poor."

... against BU he's going with the sweep!

That is not good for this weekend.....

How about the women's team with two OT wins over Northeastern!! The first with a EAG at the end of the game to tie and then win in OT. They are coming around as well!!
 
Re: UVM 2016-2017 Season: Go Cats Go!

Man we're going to miss Ori's physical presence out there this weekend.

Hopefully i didn't curse J. Priv by winning his military appreciation day jersey (which finally showed up).

I would love to be up in Burlington this weekend... but I won't even be able to stream the game tonight. :mad:
