Re: UVM @ Lowell - This Could Get Ugly
Remember, Hellebuyck is 6'4", 200. I think he's one of the tallest netminders we've ever had. McCormick was the other one I really remember, but he was only (only!) 6'2".

Re: UVM @ Lowell - This Could Get Ugly
I think one of our former goalies, Joe Fallon, was about the same size. If Hoffman can come close to being as good as Fallon, we'll be in good shape.
True that. Size like that doesn't leave much room for goal scoring.

Re: UVM @ Lowell - This Could Get Ugly
There was a time in this series when the road teams ruled no matter what the records were, but the
last few years the dominance has returned the the home teams who have gone 5-0-3.
That said I hope for a new streak to begin.

I am 6 4' and 198 myself and not very intimidating really. I guess it is more impressive on the ice and especially between the pipes.....versus my office haha.

Any Vermont fans going to the game tonight, stop by the Beerworks prior to the game and say hi. I'll be wearing the old Lowell red sweater, standing at the bar.
Edit: Never mind, forgot we received new replicas. It'll be a blue replica (very fake replica)...

I'd sooner buy the $90 one on the hockey east shop.
I will likely never wear the replica.....

Re: UVM @ Lowell - This Could Get Ugly
I only watched the live stats and read the recaps so if any of you Lowell fans that went to the game have any decent comments on how UVM looked I would love to hear them. It would seem Hoffman did well in net, but were they quality shots?
Great for UVM to start the season with a tie against the #6 team on the road, should give them some confidence. Did Lowell not come to play or is UVM going to be better then 10th in HE?
Again any comments would be appreciated.

Re: UVM @ Lowell - This Could Get Ugly
The game was ugly (just not in the way I would have liked. I don't think either team played particularly well. Hoffman played pretty well and he looks like he could be a good one. He came up with one or two big saves, especially right after Lowell scored their first goal. Certainly takes up a lot of space in the net. Carr would love to have his goal back. That was soft a soft one. Lowell's PK was the only bright spot. They did a fantastic job killing the 5 minute (there was no contact to the head. The head contact came from how hard he was hit, and then the UVM player's head hit the glass), and then the whole 2 minute 5x3. But neither team had any flow, a lot of turnovers. Chalk it up to first game of the season.

FWIW, I thought I saw an elbow to the head. Agree on the rest of your analysis, especially the 'no flow' part.The game was ugly (just not in the way I would have liked
Re: UVM @ Lowell - This Could Get Ugly
How about comments from a UVM fan who was at the game?
Hoffman looked impressive, stopped three ( maybe 4) odd man rushes and played with confidence. Seems to be a solid positional player, and could be a real asset for the team this year by being able to make the big save.
Lowell goal was on a nice forecheck (or as a UVM fan, a bad cough up by the d) with a pass across the crease that was not going to be stopped by anyone. D was a bit shaky, but aggressive, hence the odd man rushes.
Lots to look forward to with the Cats, perhaps a bit better than the pre-season rankings but there are a lot of zamboni's to be driven before we really know what the team is made of.

Re: UVM @ Lowell - This Could Get Ugly
That game was just ugly. No flow, from either side. Disappointed in how Lowell played overall. Hoffman was good, but I really thought he wasn't tested. There weren't too many great chances for Lowell, partially because of UVM's defense and partially because Lowell generally looked clueless out there.
Thoroughly pathetic result.
But an absolutely great crowd. I never thought we'd have that many people show up, sets up for a fun year.
