UNB Varsity Reds Thread (Part 4)

[Drummer]

The Feb. 11th USPORTS Top 10 had only one(1) AUS team (UNB at #1).

It's the first time in 30 years that any Top Ten poll only had one AUS team.

 

[RED ARMY EAST]

UBC Thunderbirds:
No secrete to UBC's success, Toth!
Rylan Toth, carried most of the goaltending load during the regular season, that included a (23 GP) 8-14 record, with a 2.78 GAA and a.902 save percentage.
His CanadaWest playoffs stats included a 4-4 record, starting all 8 playoff games, including a 2.90 GAA and a.918 save percentage.
He is capable of stealing a big game, including two semi-final wins in Claire Drake Arena that eliminated powerhouse Alberta Golden Bears.
Game 1, shots for Alberta 53-17 , with UBC stealing a 3-2 overtime win.
Game 2, Alberta with a 34-20 advantage in a 6-1 win.
Game 3, Alberta 41-19 shot advantage, but UBC eliminates Alberta.
CanadaWest Finals:
Game 1, USask out shot the T-Birds 31-23 in a 3-2 win.
Game 2, Shots were 29-18 in favour of the Huskies in a 3-1 win and a series sweep.

So what you’re saying is that he is due for a bad game??

The Reds are undoubtedly the favourites this week, but I think their path to the final has more upset potential than likely appropriate for a #1 seed: Toth is the hottest goaltender in the country, and UBC is the only team in the tournament that has taken down a an opponent of UNB's calibre.
Then, in the semi, they will get the winner of Acadia/Ottawa, who are both more dangerous than the winner of SMU/Guelph. And, UNB will have to go through their path to the final in back-to-back days.
Again, not saying UNB isn't favoured, but it's a bit of an unlucky path - Saskatchewan might just have a clearer way to a final, with an extra day of rest.

I agree with this. But, I'll pick UNB over UBC by 3 goals. The clock has struck midnight for Cinderella.

Pretty pumped to be there to see this live this weekend. Who is going to take in the tournament?

I like our chances, it is clear with Harvey's play in the AUS final when the series was on the line that we are set from the paint out. Bring it on!!

Are you leaving from Fredericton and have an extra seat in your vehicle? I've got a friend and UNB fan looking for a ride down Thursday. My vehicle is maxed out with 5 already. He'd be happy to help with gas.

I’m leaving Wednesday or I would offer, if anyone is looking for a drive home Sunday night I would gladly offer up a seat, would make the long drive home at night just a little more bearable with someone to talk to.

Unfortunately I don’t. Between the wife and baby, and all of their respective accessories, the ol Civic is going to be pretty full.

So UNB has six graduating players. Only Anderson is a 5th year. Not sure what Waitling’s eligibility is.

Going to be interesting to see who stays for an extra year. Will have a big impact on recruitment.

Watling and McIvor are both 5th years...in addition to Anderson.

Cooper, Simpson, and Murphy are the 4th years. I could see the latter two garnering lots of pro interest.

So they will have at least three roster spots open...and two vacancies on their top line.

I would offer Simpson the “C” to entice him to stay.

McIvor is a big loss.

I expect Cooper to be back

Victor Findlay mentioned Brady Lyle, would definitely be a solid piece !
