Tough loss against a good team.  I feel the Big Red have nowhere to go but up.

[Pace]

MU dropped 2 places like us. In any case, 4th, 2nd, it's all a good ranking and doesn't matter too much this early on.

[dadeo]

Also, dont you guys think that the coaches and pollees are overrating UVM?
I mean, I know they are 6-0-0, but 5 of them are against UAA, UM-Duluth, and Niagara (who are a combined 6-13-1).  Wait until they get to BC, UNH, and Maine.

[KeithK]

Vermont over-rated?  But they're 6-0-0!  And they're a Hockey East team!

Well, I'm sold. :-P

[Pace]

I wish we played Vermont this year.

[KeithK]

[Q]I wish we played Vermont this year.[/q]Hopefully we will...

[Pace]

It's true, we might in a regional, right?

[Beeeej]

Or in the FF.

I was trying not upset the-you-know-which Gods... :-)

[KeithK]

I respectfully submit that an expression of hope for success does not offend the Woofing Gods.

It'd have to be early in one; if UVM makes the tournament, they won't be around in it for long.
