UNB Varsity Reds Thread (Part 4)

[AUS Fan]

That is a good question. It was more than the hurricane. They were supposed to have an Open House Sep 5 and that got cancelled as they were still working inside. The hurricane affected the ice. I'm not sure if it was a total loss,but it doesn't really matter because they're still doing stuff. I'm gonna try to get to the big city on Tuesday and may be able to bring some news.

Just drove past the AUC and noticed the outside banners still haven’t been updated. They’re really leaving that to the last minute this year...it usually gets done sometime during the summer.

Goulet with the hat trick tonight. Hope this is an auspicious sign for the rest of the season. Don’t think he has shown us his full potential yet.

Bennett with 2g and 2a. Most likely to be the team’s scoring leader this season.

Nice to see Waitling out there. Hope he stays injury free.

Parenteau with the start which is fair. Harvey probably in against Acadia Saturday.

Did anyone happen to catch who had “A”s on tonight? To hard to tell on the webcast

 

[AUS Fan]

Anderson had one

Last night marked MacDougall’s 600th career victory at UNB.

Just watched the highlights from the Acadia game. Pretty rough start for Harvey.

I noticed that he was getting beat a lot on the glove side.

 

[AUS Fan]

Guys will shoot where they can score. Welcome to the AUS, Harv.....

UNB didn't help themselves taking far too many penalties on the weekend.

[RED ARMY EAST]

Reds outshot Boston College 37-21, almost 2-1, but lose 4-2.
With Parenteau playing Saturday, I would assume Harvey will start against Maine.

Haven’t noticed Simpson tonight , hopefully he isn’t hurt .

Good catch...didn’t even realize he wasn’t out there. That would explain Gagne playing forward.

Wonder if that McIvor penalty means he will be out a game? I can never remember how discipline carries over from NCAA games to AUS play.

They can ill afford injuries/suspensions this early.

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

I know Maine is a shell of their former self, but that was an impressive win.

 

[FreddyFoyle]

That was the worst Maine team I've ever seen. God help them this season, even if they do have a 6'8" goalie.

Pretty sure McIvor's penalty will cost him Friday's game.

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

I noticed Rassell also got a game misconduct near the end of last weekend’s game against Acadia...so he will also be out on Friday.

Going to be a pretty short bench...

Maine’s number one goalie - Bruins 4th rounder Jeremy Swayman - didn’t play yesterday after they left him in to face 60 shots the night before against Providence...although I’m not sure that would’ve made any difference given their complete lack of offense.

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

Apparently they are unveiling new white jerseys for the home opener...any idea what they may be? Perhaps a white version of the ‘New Brunswick’ or ‘Red Devils’ ones?

 

[FreddyFoyle]

There is a new banner up with LOTS of space for future wins.

He might have served that vs Boston. Exhibition games are 'games' provided they are on the schedule prior to the infraction. You can't 'add' an exhibition games in an effort to avoid a suspension impacting a real game, but in this case - it was an established game on the team's schedule.

McIvor is definitely out for the home opener.

Coach said that Simpson was banged-up and didn't feel 'good' so they decided to rest him. I got the feeling he could have played if they had needed him, but no at this time of the season.

Yup - a pretty mundane team. Lots of effort, but no top-end talent that can put the puck in the net. Their power-play, normally their 'go-to' for offence vs USPORTS teams and wins the game as USPORTS teams take a lot of penalties, was non-existent. Also, UNB was very disciplined, so not a lot of power-plays for UMaine - coach was very happy about that.

I noticed that...the downside being that the font is so small you can’t make anything out when you are driving by.

I double checked the BC box score and Rassell is listed as having 3 SOG and was a -1 so it appears he played.
