UNB Varsity Reds Thread (Part 4)

[dm8895]

Maybe I have my UNB blinders on, but from where I was 3 rows back from the glass, i think it could have been a hit to the head, a hit from behind, or boarding. Even the Charlottetown locals seemed okay with the call..

 

[Prov1X]

At minimum, he is gone for a game, I can see them adding an extra game.

I was wrong about the extra game, they stayed with the automatic 1 game suspension for the CTH major penalty.

 

[Rob]

I see Harvey started in back to back games. I wonder if Parenteau is not 100%? Or maybe coach Mac has designated Harvey as the number one guy now.

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

Surprised Harvey got the nod again tonight. Thought for sure Parenteau would get the game tonight and Harvey tomorrow against X.

If Hall and Goulet are suspended next weekend...and Simpson/McIvor are still out, who draws in? Obviously Carroll, but do they put Seitz in (even if just to have a warm body on the bench)?

I would think so?

Pomerleau also didn’t play in the third period last night, so that could potentially be another body down...

I think he took a slash to the arm/wrist earlier in the game.

 

[VRedsRule]

He took a good whack in second that was penalized and didn’t return. Hopefully just precautionary at this stage of season. While they may be shorthanded on weekend they don’t have a pressing need to win..other than to keep carrying their momentum.

 

[FreddyFoyle]

I talked to Simpson. He's close to coming back; he began practicing with the team again on Thursday.

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

Big win tonight with four regulars out. They really turned it on over the last 30 minutes.

Agreed. Sloppy early powerplay led to that shorthanded goal to Acadia. In the second and third period they seemed to have their feet moving better and won most of the puck battles. UNB looked to be very good on faceoffs as well. Will have to look at scoresheet.

I was surprised Cooper didn't play.

 

[Prov1X]

I see that Seitz was listed on the game sheet, did he indeed get into the game?

I’m pretty sure I remember seeing him out there once but that was it.

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

Gotta think Friday night’s game has a high chance of being cancelled with a storm coming in tomorrow.

 

[Rob]

Gotta think Friday night’s game has a high chance of being cancelled with a storm coming in tomorrow.

I was thinking the same thing but according to UNB's twitter account the game will go as scheduled. Not sure if UPEI is coming over tomorrow to beat the storm.

 

[dm8895]

McIvor taking the warmup !!! I was really worried it was going to be long term

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

Cooper back tonight as well.

I notice LeBlanc hasn’t been on the top PP unit since coming back from his injury.

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

How about the season Gilmour had? Probably one of the youngest players UNB has had in a long time (and probably one of the youngest in the AUS this year) and he finished with 27 points (and no PIM) in 30 games this year. I thought he did a fantastic job all year running the second power play unit from the half boards. I felt he was the key in really making that unit work.

 

[RED ARMY EAST]

Not a big fan of the article on UNB hockey, in the daily gleaner on Saturday. I spoke to a Reds player today and he also wasn't a big fan of the article. Especially in a single elimination tournament, like the University cup. Hot goaltender and you can be one and done! Ask the team that doubled Guelph in shots, in 97-98 and lost.
Ask the 2003 V-Reds who doubled UQTR in shots, 50+ I think, but ran into a super hot goaltender.
Look at Alberta's loss to Waterloo, in Saskatoon, after dominating the Warriors with over 50 shots.
Get my point!

 

[FreddyFoyle]

Are you talking about Bill Hunt's column about UNB hockey? Because that's Bill's opinion, not a news article. Bill tells anyone who listens that UNB is a lock for the UCup this year. I don't necessarily agree with his opinion, because as mentioned, anything can happen in a short tournament. But he is entitled to his opinion, and one purpose of sports columns is to get people talking. So it looks like he succeeded.

Yes and of coarse he is entitled to his opinion, no problem there.

 

[Big Bad Jon]

It's too bad the team didn't put a team bus option for Moncton on Monday. I bet there would be lots of locals interested but don't want to drive home in the dark late Monday night.

It had been a few years since we’ve had a bus trip. I don’t think the team organizes it though. It was organized by some dedicated fans.

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

Noticed Hall wasn’t in the bench for the last two periods....anyone notice anything earlier in the game?
