That turnover was incredible. Absolutely incredible. In a must win home game against the worst team in DI!

 

[Skiblets]

We can’t have nice things

Spetz makes it 3-2 UConn.

Scratch that… Schlaine gets credit for goal - Spetz w/ assist.

Right as the stream craps the bed and screen goes to black like the Sopranos…

It’s from the UMass game a couple of weeks ago. It’s the only time I ever sat with those folks.

Feels like this program never wins the ‘must wins’ but pulls off a bunch of upsets every year. So frustrating

What a rank embarrassment...
Has the annual "Cavanaugh collapse" begun?

 

[Bomber36]

So disappointing. Beyond disappointing. So disgusted.

Man, what crappy game.
The friggin TURNOVERS!

The team, the crowd, the band, their defensive effort were ALL crap.

Way too many passes.
Over 100 shots in 1 game last week and today was just garbage.

Craphard missed a couple AGAIN.
Gotta love that petty challenge.

Had a feeling they weren’t gonna show up and a UVM team motivated from the win on short rest proved who wanted it more.

Cats wanted it more than the dogs tonight. Crowd will be even weaker tmrw with b-ball. Some more students, but of course it’s was the typical “you can hear the Halogen lights buzzing” kinda night.

3 inexcusable turnovers in Our end turns into 3 goals. No excuses with one game left before the playoffs. Eight days ago there was a chance for first place, and now they're lucky to hang on for sixth.

You just knew the way the third period would play out after the crap two first periods. We would dominate with nothing to show for it as Vermont packs five guys down low hanging on for dear life.

 

[The Viking]

Let’s be honest we suck when we are supposed to win and quite frankly we just are a much better team on the road.
I would have loved a second round game at home but the only way we are making TD garden is to go on the road and win an upset.

The players choked not Cavanaugh. The senior class has been an epic failure the last two weekends.

Standings as of right now:

UMass Amherst - 46 pts/14 wins - next opp BC
NE - 44 points/14 wins - next opp Merrimack
Umass Lowell - 43 pts/13 wins - next opp UNH
BU - 41 pts/13 wins - next opp Maine
Merrimack - 41 pts/13 wins - next opp NE
UConn - 38 pts/13 wins - next opp VT

then a falloff

So tiebreaker goes head to head and then wins. We went 1-2 against BU so I think we're hopeless against them and its basically 5th or 6th place.
How do we get 5th place? If the favorites between seeds 2-6 all win.
NE beats Merrimack
UML beats UNH
BU beats Maine
UConn beats VT.

If this happens, we tie Merrimack for 5th but win tiebreak as we are 2-0 against Merrimack.
So that means we get a 1st round bye but play the 2nd round on the road as the 5 playing at 4. The 4 being being at BU in this scenario (If the favorites win tomorrow)...or perhaps at UML if UML stumbles tomorrow.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong and add their two cents.

Honestly, this is probably our best route to TD garden. We only play one game and it is as us being the underdog on the road. That's where we've always played our best in the HE. 60 strong minutes to get to TDG.
Of course, we have to actually BEAT vermont tomorrow.

If we dont get 3 points tomorrow we're locked into 6 and play Maine on Wed at home, and then play on the road for Round 2.
