    What I can say about the end of the season gloating - Vermont will be last. Your squad is hot garbage. My condolences.
    You are absolutely correct. Gilles may not have a slump at all. Not everyone does...which is why in my original post I said this...

    ... in the case of PC it's not going to take much of a decrease in Gilles performances for them to drop to the bottom of the league.

    I don't think PC ending up in 7th is any less likely then ending up 3-4th.

    PC can't afford for Gilles to have a slump at all...
    He may not and PC may end up 3-4th... but if he slumps at all PC is going to drop through the standings like a stone... H

      Exactly, what else anyone going to do on an Ice hockey forum in August... It's boring to come here every day and see the only activity is the Lowell fans talking about the women's field hockey team...

        You tried out for the team and got cut didn't you...

        What's ironic is that there are 3 "elephant walk" restaurants in the Boston area... not one in the whole state of Vermont. I guess they know who they should be catering too...

          We can't be worse the Northeastern...
          Northeastern will actually have a pretty solid offense, it's all about how their goaltending and defense is. Part of the reason NU was so terrible last year was that they lost literally half their defense to injury and multiple top 6 forwards as well so they were just throwing out lineups to qualify to play for the last 6 weeks of the season.

            I predict a 1-0 win for UVM friday and a 1-0 loss Saturday and the fans will be on the edge of their seats the entire weekend watching two well coached and disciplined teams go at it. oh...and both goals are short handed.

              Just my opinion, but I actually think the defense will be better than people expect. It's the goaltending that has me the most worried this season.

                  I think that the talent at UVM is truly underrated. I think between the good recruiting class, and what we had from last season we have at worst an average roster in terms of peoples skill set. I have always thought our problem is our coach, and the fact of the matter is, he is fit to be a DIII coach at best.
