>Vermont is .500 but is HEAVILY outscoring its opponents. Good example -- They >blow a 2-goal lead vs. Dartmouth, lose in OT, then beat them 10-1 the next >night. That's been typical. Vermont is above .500 overall. UVM's current record, goal for and against overall and in ECAC play: GP W L T GF GA OVERALL 28 15 11 2 118 89 LEAGUE 18 8 8 2 74 52 >I've noticed that Thomas can have a bad period, but never a bad game.

Thomas had a >bad first period against Princeton, but I always had the sense Princeton better >put him away or Vermont could come back. They did and the defense was great >after getting the lead. Also, Tim Thomas did not just have a bad game against BU, he had a horrible game against BU. The Terriers won 11-1.

One protester even asked >the media how white people would feel if it was a minority as the symbol. Before the Minuteman were the Redskins (with a Chicago Blackhawk/UND logo), they were the Farmers! I wonder if they changed it because the local farmers got upset? :-) Sean Pickett Go BU Terriers, 1994 Hockey East Champions!
