2024-2025 AUS Thread

Not too often you get to see the end of all three AUS games.

SMU with their second straight overtime win over Moncton. Came back from two goals down. A needed win. Huskies now alone in third place.

UPEI scored a shorthanded goal with 1:48 left to beat STFX. Two wins in a row for the Panthers.

For all the posters worried of UNB coming down to parity, look now.

I never worry about the Red Army mingling with the riffraff. It's a 3 tier league.

Entertaining game at SMU on Saturday. The Huskies overcome a 2 goal deficit and win 3-2 in OT.

West was in for SMU and played well, as did Darveau at the other end, with 39 saves.

Several good hits by both teams.

Has an approximate date been set for the opening of the new Dal rink?

Last time Dal was in town, I heard they were hoping to be in for next season, at least part of next season

Didn't catch the rescheduled SMU UPEI game last night, but another loss for the Panthers. I'm surprised/not surprised (if that's a thing?) about how lackluster they've been so far. I think many expected them to be further ahead in the standings at this point in the season with the full group of returnees from last year. I've caught a few of their games and thought that they work hard but don't exactly have any lethal goal scoring threats

I'm making the trek to X this Saturday. Should be a good tilt vs UNB. Cheers

Watched most of the webcast. The game was close until the third period, I thought. Then the Panthers kept getting burned with penalties and miscues. Several SMU players scored their first goals or points of the season, so some monkeys off backs for their side.

In my limited viewings of UPEI this year…they don’t seem to be very good in their own end + their goaltending hasn’t been as strong as last year. Maybe they weren’t as good defensively last year either and their goaltending bailed them out and that just hasn’t been the case this season, I’m not sure?

I was at the rink last night. The game was fun for a while. SMU went on a 3 goal run in the 2nd and UPEI battled back to make it close until SMU scored another 3 in the 3rd.
West got his 4th start in a row and was "decent". Ranger had his moments but gave up a few softies.
I agree their D-zone coverage is not that great, but I like the physical play of them and UdeM.

Not going to DAL/UNB game because I don't need to see a 10-0 game. May go Sat to watch UdeM.

Is the frame rate kind of weird for everyone else on the UNB-Dal game or is that on my end?

It sounds crazy to say about a 9-2 game but I actually thought Dal played pretty well tonight all things considered .

DiMattia let in a few stinkers , game could have been a little closer. I’m assuming the idea was to save Chenard for the game that they view as one they can try and hang in but tough for him to be thrown at the wolves so I mean no disrespect to him.

Wonder if Chenard might be able to hold them in a few games in the second half.

I’ve got nothing but respect for the Tigers , it can’t be easy to show up night in and night out but as much as no one wants to be called “good losers” very rarely do I see someone take their frustrations out in a shitty manner and every time they are in Freddy I am impressed they work hard for 60 minutes no matter what the score is.

Here’s hoping moving back on campus will give some sort of bump to the program.
