Re: NCAA Tournament 2019
Perhaps I'm showing my age, but easily the greatest moment I've ever had as a UMass fan.
Re: NCAA Tournament 2019
No, that was the greatest since we smucked Georgetown and Iverson. And the first period, 3-goal stretch is my greatest moment of fandom in any sport ever.GuntherSAM wrote: ↑Fri Apr 12, 2019 7:05 am Perhaps I'm showing my age, but easily the greatest moment I've ever had as a UMass fan.

Re: NCAA Tournament 2019
How many times did they ring the post that first period too? What a team. LOVE watching them play. All for one. NewMass baby!!

Re: NCAA Tournament 2019
That almost came back to bite them. The DU goalie was absolutely shook in that first period. What a freaking game woke the whole house up when MDG's bomb won it - who cares. WE GOING TO THE SHIP.

Re: NCAA Tournament 2019
I know I'm in the minority but I'll disagree there. They were both pretty terrible last night. All they did was hype up the best players and talk about the penalties. Just listen to the final call, tons of silence followed by some Melrose bumbling and then Bucigross screams "Watch Out". Then he repeated it because he had nothing better to say. I miss Thorne. Great W for the team though.Sheck wrote: ↑Thu Apr 11, 2019 11:29 pmGreat call from Bucci. He and Melrose have been awesome this entire tournament.

Re: NCAA Tournament 2019
MDG's goal will forever be in the UMass highlights like Mike Williams' last second shot against Temple, or Tony Barbee or Harper Williams' last second shots. Up and coming UMass program breaking through. Only a freshman and he's got a lifetime memory that nobody will forget. What a game

Re: NCAA Tournament 2019
Trivigno suspended for the natty. I get it, but after the fact and when the Denver coach opted *not* to challenge the non-call. Damn.

If we play to win and at our usual pace, I think we can survive almost any absence ... but not the BC / third period from last night.McKinney wrote: ↑Fri Apr 12, 2019 12:52 pm Trivigno suspended for the natty.

Regardless, shame to lose him for the NCG.

Re: NCAA Tournament 2019
For anyone who is in Buffalo, this event is happening tonight and Coach Carvel will be there to join Buccigross and Melrose. All the credit goes to UMass alum Derek Volner at ESPN for pulling it together.
Re: NCAA Tournament 2019
That's so freaking soft. So he's suspended because the refs didn't call a penalty? If he was given the game misconduct it would be time served and no suspension? I have no idea how these clowns make these decisions. I'm guessing they flip a coin.
Re: NCAA Tournament 2019
Hopefully, coach of the year + player of the year on the team of the year = national championship!

Re: NCAA Tournament 2019
Great time and really good of them to come! I met Bucci and Barry afterwards and they're both great guys. I also got my first "Hockey Least" shit from a Minnesota fan. I was warned about these arrogant western people. I guess that means we have really arrived.BostonBert wrote: ↑Fri Apr 12, 2019 2:10 pm For anyone who is in Buffalo, this event is happening tonight and Coach Carvel will be there to join Buccigross and Melrose.

Re: NCAA Tournament 2019
While I tend to agree with your take, I have to admit that he deserves the suspension. I saw the play and it was a cheap shot elbow to the head. I'm sorry he did that but it isn't something they tolerate in college hockey. NEXT MAN UP!
Re: NCAA Tournament 2019
The suspension was deserved. He left his feet and nailed the guy in the head. That said, the entire game was a cluster and poorly reffed. And the way that replay is being implemented makes no sense to me. Carvel Was all over refs at the ESPN event with Buccigross and Melrose.
