2015 / 8-Team University Cup - Halifax

[AUS Fan]

Guelph takes the bronze with a 3-2 (ot) win over UQTR. Only watched the third at overtime but both teams were playing hard. Would have liked to have seen a replay of the game winning goal as it looked like Nadeau may have had the puck covered up. I guess he fired a water bottle at the ref.

Had it covered for a split second, then pushed loose. Didn't see Nadeau do anything as Eastlink followed the Guelph players.

Yes, I'm not at the rink and won't be tonight. Road is not plowed, so I'm not going anywhere. Would like to be there and have a beer with the boys, but feces occurs.

Only so many horse and buggies available? What the heck kind of excuse is that?

Beauvillier in for Caissy tonight.

The last goal was everything I feared with UNB....bad penalty to take...missed opportunity to get the puck out...a shot Shantz probably should have had.

 

[cishockeyfan]

I actually thought UNB played very well, Alberta certainly didnt play better than them. Unfortunately it all comes down to Shantz save percentage.

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

I thought UNB played pretty well too, but they need to start getting some more shots in net as well...3 just isn't going to cut it. Plus, a few saves wouldn't hurt either. They have to get at least within a goal heading into the 3rd...I would be pretty comfortable with that.

was about to post that UNB won that Period but than Lazo got a shot on net with a couple of seconds left

Can't fault Shantz on that one too much...Lazo tipped it as he was driving to the net. The defenceman who had him deserves some blame as well.

Alberta is just so quick and dangerous on the transition game....give them one chance and they don't miss.

And they have been absolutely phenomenal blocking shots.

Not sure the horse could get through 3 foot drifts.

Agreed. Usually it is the lower ranked defensive teams that block shots like that. Very impressive.

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

UNB can't even get a shot on net this period...let alone two goals.

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

Bad game for the mediocre UNB power play to show up.

 

[AUS Fan]

2 shots, 2 goals.

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

UNB's power play cost them the game.

 

[AUS Fan]

UofA PK helped them win?

 

[AUS Fan]

How come the hats are Red?

 

[leafhky88]

Heck of a game by Alberta, great defensively and a ton of blocked shots, especially in that second period.

All results followed the seedings and brackets - all of the top 4 seeds made their way to the semi final and the top two met in the final, with the top 3 seeds finishing 1, 2, 3.

 

[AUS Fan]

UNB didn't have a great game, in part because UofA did. UNB will have a good group next year.

 

[cishockeyfan]

Full Credit to Alberta, they were the number one ranked team for a reason and deserved to win. I thought despite the 3-1 score after two UNB played well, thought the game was even till that point.

Alberta Dominated the third defensively, to allow UNB only 2 shots on goal with the game online is quite a thing, to allow UNB allow 9 shots on Goal is unreal, in 20 + years, I dont remember UNB being held to under 30 shots per game too often.

Ill post my personal UNB Team thoughts in the UNB boards

 

[Rob]

Yeah, I was more impressed by the Bears defensive zone play more than anything else. The were also very aggressive on the penalty kill. Something that is usually the trademark of the Vreds.

While I am disappointed with the loss I the Bears are clearly the best in the country. The guys are not going to feel it tonight but they should be happy with their silver medal performance.

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

I ripped on Calgary for not managing many shots on Alberta despite a ton of power plays in the CW finals. UNB had 9 shots on goal and had 7 power plays (not all were for a full 2 minutes, but still)....that's brutal. But, you do have to give a ton of credit to the Bears...they were lights out defensively and on the PK...and the number of shots they blocked was staggering.

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

I figured UNB might be able to take advantage of a tired Bears team playing their 3rd game in 3 nights by the time the 3rd period rolled around...but it was exactly the opposite. Alberta definitely gave UNB a taste of their own medicine in this one.

Bears go Back-to-Back

UNB played a really good game 5v5. They took it to Alberta in stretches, but the Golden Bears had more elite level finish and killed UNB in the special teams battle.
To me the shots didn't seem 24-9 for Alberta.
Alberta out-shot their opposition 100-39 over three games, and out-scored them 16-5, a good showing for sure.

 

[Freddy Beach]

Don't blame Shantz blame 9 shots on net in the game by the Reds and its too bad Doyle wasn't there to blame. unb were out classed by u of a tonight.

Well said.

How do you rank this team compared to the 04/05 Bears?
