        Not sure if we ever played them, but I remember watching them in Dartmouth during their tourney.
        They were really good that year!

          Season is starting for pretty much everyone tonight but the Cats. Not sure which is better : not playing the 1st meaningful game for 2 weeks when most other teams already have 3 or 4 games experience or doing what they did last year when it seemed like it was 1 game per weekend in the early going. Guess we will soon see.

              Maybe it will help the Cats get a good start. Last year we had alot of close games early and maybe if the Cats
              had a few more practices together they might have had some better results and maybe the season would not have
              gone downhill.

                Green and Gold Report

                I miss the old set up when the G&G used to be longer and I really could care less about a shootout...thou Leonard's goal was sweet.

                Alot more hitting than usual and Brickley seemed to have a chip on his shoulder as he was much more physical than last year.

                I was pleasently impressed by all of the freshman D, Paliotta looks like a senior out there and shows a great ability to hit forwards on
                the fly with passes from the D-zone. I also liked how Doerring looked on the Off-blueline handling the puck and turning passes into
                quick hard low shots on net. Too much last year our D was missing the net. Luukko I didnt see as much with the puck so far.

                The freshman forwards I liked the most were Reynolds and Markison who hit anything that moved. And Brett Bruneteau looks like
                a steal and might be the best of the new players at the start of the season.

                Goalies all played OK but we all know whos going to be in net

                Anyone else go?

                  On another subject, I thought I read here USCHO an article saying Notre Dame would only have to travel 5 times when the come to Hockey East?
                  I must be missunderstanding this. I'd love to join a league out West and tell everyone they have to come to my rink to play!

                    With a 20 game in league schedule, they would travel 5 weekends and play 10 games on the road, and have 10 games at home. Same as everyone else. They will play west teams for their OOC.

                      attended the green/gold scrimmage on saturday and i was also impressed with all the freshmen.the defensemen all seemed to be able to move the puck out of the zone quickly. team speed and puck movement was good also.hopefully ,the cats can utilize their speed to apply more pressure and create more scoring opportunities in the offensive zone.should be fun to watch this team develope.

                        Nice to see the reports on the Green & Gold game. but playing against your teammates is not really a great measure. Can't beleive the first meaningful home game is still 2.5 weeks away..... Mack sounds like they got a confidence builder up at Maine. Hopefully they come in a bit overconfident after manhandling the Cats the last two years.....

                          Being picked 35th just does not seem right to me in the new Hockey East era..... I hope the team reads this and gets some serious motivation out of it.

                          Being picked 20 spots back of Dartmouth makes we want to puke. Lets go Cats. Back to the land of some level of respect we must go.

                            Wow that is a wake up call!!!! I know last year was a disaster but still 35th? They do have something to prove. Sneddon should post that poll in the locker room.

                              No complaining, remember?
