Granted alfie didn't play very well, but some of the qaulity of UNH's
chances certainly had something to do with. You can balme the 5-3 goal on
Alfie, but evidently you havn't watched the tape, there are two UNH guys
standing directly in front of him and only one Maine player trying to
move them out of the way, thus I think Alfie never saw the puck..
 
 I have one more note to add, Cardinal is going to get his someday from
someone in the league, not only does he intentionally run people, but he
spits on fans as he leaves the ice, this is the kinda classless thing
that cronin does not want, he apologized to caoch Umile after the game
for his team not sticking to hockey. Although the last 5min of the gamee
they did, after he took a time out and told them to cut it out in not so
gracious terms...well here's looking forward to Merrimack this weekend..
 
Troy..
 
Go Blue!
Mark Mowers for the Hobey Baker!!!
