As I'm sure the UVM fan will remind us, we haven't played the toughest of competition this year so far (outside of UMD), but I'll still happily take 9-1-3 going into Thanksgiving.

Win this Tournament this weekend, and you've got a struggling UConn team (7 straight losses) next weekend ... great chance to have at least a dozen wins prior to the break. That would put us 2 wins above where we were last year, a season where we finished just thisclose from making the NCAAs.

Anyone know why Folin didn't dress Saturday night?

On Smith, we guessed that he said "are you effing blind?!" to which the ref said "WHAT did you say?!" and Smith answered back "are you effing deaf too?!"

*laugh* Nicely done CJ....but next time let Norm say that.

Also, is there some unspoken agreement not to give UML first place votes? Other than the preseason poll this year, we almost never get first place votes, even though teams below us might get them. Not talking about just this year either. I'm not touting a conspiracy, honest, nor am I saying we necessarily deserve them....it just seems rather odd.

We were ranked #1 in the season going into last year. Look how that ended up.

That was actually two seasons ago...already!

I agree that the team has a tremendous opportunity to get 12 wins before the break. I especially hope they win their game against the ECAC opponent on Saturday. The team dropped from 3rd to 7th in the Pairwise after taking 3 pts from ND. I know its still early for that stuff, but they need as many NC wins as they can get, especially given the NC schedule isn't the strongest.

I thought ND looked pretty good this past weekend. I'm glad UML was able to get the 1st tiebreaker over them.

Agree about ND that was a pretty tough entertaining weekend of hockey. Between the penalties and the wide open play it really made for some nerve racking moments. Boyle came up big again both nights.

The team just needs to stay focus and take care of business in Ireland. I expect two tough games.

Probably because he didn't play that well Friday night and he's been prone to taking bad penalties lately that have led to goals. He's a work in progress.

Well, if this goes through, this could affect programs like ours...
