Football and turkey all day Thursday, college hockey friday. Not bad, let's start talking about the game. I have a question for UVM fans, with madore's poor play early this year (3.73 GAA) have you gone into a rotation with spillane and madore or has spillane seemed to taken the reigns on the netminder position? Which goalie do you expect to play Friday?

Not only aren't catamounts prehistoric, they might not even be extinct!

Re: Big Dogs vs Prehistoric Cats, NU UVM Nov 27
The definition of a catamount has changed to accommodate modern wild cats such as mountain lions but it originally referred to a much larger cat that lived in northern parts of VT and NH a while ago, prehistoric is a stretch, i said that more for satirical humor.Arenas Attended

Re: Big Dogs vs Prehistoric Cats, NU UVM Nov 27
not sure what UVM will do about Spillane/Madore.
I would play Spillane Tuesday and see what happens. If he plays well bring him back against vs. NU
How full will Mathews be?
I'll probably be down for the game Friday night and see the B's on Saturday although that will cost me a lot of shopping at Copley on Saturday

Re: Big Dogs vs Prehistoric Cats, NU UVM Nov 27
I will be at the game, but it will be one of the lower attended games of the year, I hate break games...
The Huskies looked better against PC. Let's hope UMass destroyed the spirit and did not just **** off the Catamounts...MATTHEWS ARENA

Re: Big Dogs vs Prehistoric Cats, NU UVM Nov 27
I'm guessing at this point Madore will be in net. Spillane gave up 6 to UMass, 3 were PP but still. Defense is horrible, Madore can be a spectacular goalie, and he needs to be until the D can get their act together.
Hard to figure out UVM for this game, I expect Sneddon must have ripped them a new one after Tuesday, may work or not.Originally posted by HokydadMaine will be better this year relative to rankings than BC will be this year

Key quote to me :
"It's just getting guys to go for 60 minutes," Vermont head coach Kevin Sneddon said. "That's my job and I take full responsibility for it. One thing is for sure I'll do what ever it takes to turn it. If it's got to be tough love, it'll be tough love."
I hope Sneddon can light a fire under them.Originally posted by HokydadMaine will be better this year relative to rankings than BC will be this year

Re: Big Dogs vs Prehistoric Cats, NU UVM Nov 27
The two biggest problems UVM has right now is first and most obvious they are terrible on specail teams, almost all of the loses this year the team had played even with or better than the opponet 5 on 5 but got killed in special teams. And the other is they are having alot of trouble regrouping after a goal or bad penalty call. The Umass game was a perfect example as the game was even right up to the back to back powerplay goals and then UVM never could get going again even thou they had over a period to go and were only one goal down. As shown versus BC they play much better if they get ahead, you would expect this from a young team but since they are not young its more troubling.New Arena New Arena where for art thou New Arena

Re: Big Dogs vs Prehistoric Cats, NU UVM Nov 27
Madore made some huge saves tonight and really looked good.
NU played an absolutely terrible first 2 periods. They looked slow, the passes were not sharp, and they frequently got outworked by UVM. The Huskies finally showed up in the third, but I thought UVM (and especially Madore) did a nice job of holding off a Huskies rally.Colorado College Hockey: Finding new and creative ways to break your heart since 1957.

Re: Big Dogs vs Prehistoric Cats, NU UVM Nov 27
Only heard the game from WRBB, but it sounded like it was pretty rough from the start...
Also sounded like we were seeing Rawlings from the first few weeks of the season in the first period. Scary to see... er... hear that. From someone who was actually there, was it that bad?
Also sounded like we hit about 2 or 3 posts towards the end of the game. Tough break... A win here for NU woulda been huge. We have a lot of work to do this week if we want to come out on top this weekend. Which we NEED to do...Northeastern University, Class of 2012
