And it's not a "name" opponent, and a 6pm start instead of 7 (rush hour affects the trek to the arena quite a bit, especially if you're coming from the west, which many people do), etc etc.
Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

With 8 wins last year I think it would be fairer to say that UVM was playing below the level of their competition, no matter who the competition was. And they were not without three of their top 6 forwards in the exhibition game, they were without one of their top 6, and arguably 2 of their top 9, meanwhile TEAM USA was without anyone over 17 years old.....
I hope the cats manage a split but it seems unlikely unless they start playing with some energy, fundamentals, and chemistry. I don't see that happening this quickly with this young of a team.... But I sure hope I'm WRONG
You guys will be ok. It's a tough place to play, especially for your first game of the season. Big sheet of ice facing a team built for speed. I bet they make adjustments and Sunday will be a much closer game

I hope you are right cause it is ugly out there tonight for VT!!!
I apologize for a) suggesting Minnesota would only score 4 goals and b) having the audacity to assume Vermont would even come close to scoring a goal. Fo-give-a-ness, pleez-uh.
Re: Vermont at Minnesota - Oct 21,23 (East Meets West)
I usually hate when the Gophers stop going for it offense, but tonight they went into a "prevent" the right way. They attacked and possessed the puck in the offensive zone for good stretches of time. Much different than the "dump it and let them come at us" approach they have used for the last few years. They instead worked on sound fundamentals and closed it. The Gophers haven't done that for way too long.

U-G-L-Y !!
The one shining point for the Cats was Vazzano stepped in and played halfway decent. A very surprising and dissappointing outing for Madore. As far as I could tell those were the only two players on the ice.
Did UVM have one good hit? I had to keep covering my eyes and turning away.
I don't know what that was. It was like watching a high school team skate against MN. I only pray that was a wake up call, but one would have thought the US-18 team would have been. Here's hoping Sneddon lights a fire under someone's arse before Sunday.

Let's be honest, a high school team would have at least put up a fight. I wish I had DVR'ed the game so I could watch it at 2x speed with Yakety Sax playing in the background.

much as I hate to say this, its exciting to see the gophers play like their formerly awesome selves. Its going to hurt in a few weeks when they smoke the sioux though.

I am hoping our cheerleaders will put the fear of God into Rocco.
