UNB Reds Thread (Part5)

[dm8895]

Anyone know where Ross MacDougall was tonight? He shot in the shootout last night against X and played a large chunk of the 3x3... Would assume he wasn't injured. No sign of him at the rink either , I saw Hall, Gilmour, Somers and Keating sitting together.
Whatever is going on I hope all is okay. In the first half I was slightly underwhelmed, he wasn't bad but I would have pegged him at #6 of the guys who dressed but since the season started back up I have a hard time saying he hasn't been one of the top 2 Dmen. I really like the pairing of him and Carroll..

Re: injuries
Gilmour and Keating were both at Fridays practice and were going through the normal drills.

That is encouraging. Any sign of Hall or MacDougall?

Not sure, there was 18 skaters.

Probably best case scenario for UNB with having to face 7th place Moncton, who is fresh off a three game series and is missing their best player due to injury…vs. playing a more rested 5th place SMU team.

or having to play UPEI who has played them tough all year - really glad we aren't playing them.

Pretty simple script for this series - Moncton keeps it close, good defense, solid goaltending and capitalize on their turnovers while UNB has to capitalize on their 40+ shots they're going to get.

 

[RED ARMY EAST]

IMO, SMU has a physical upside that Moncton doesn't.

Brady Gilmour scoring both game winning goals in the Moncton series. If he didn’t come back from injury who knows if we would be advancing?

10 straight games now with a sub-10% shooting percentage. Every time they get a good look it seems the goalie makes a ridiculous save, the puck bounces over a stick, the shot goes wide, etc… I’ve never seen anything like it from a UNB team before.

Glad the power play is coming around…but only one goal 5-on-5 in two games is a bit concerning.

It's like they all have the yips, other than Gilmour.

 

[AUS Fan]

Stop it, you guys. I'm starting to feel bad for ya'll.

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

Anyone know what this is in reference to?

There was a Tweet the other day about the UNB women's team not getting any "respect" from the Gleaner.

I have it from a reliable source that this is the reason.

A guy from SMU has to tell you what's happening at UNB?

I assumed that was the reason. I saw a couple men’s players (Joe Gatenby and Sam Dove-McFalls) tweet about the situation today as well.

 

[Rob]

Yeah. Quite a few people on Twitter upset with the Gleaner. They haven’t published a big story on the women’s team winning the AUS tile yet.

Should be out today. No paper yesterday, I'm told. I'm Not blaming the reporters, I think it's an issue with Head Office. But bad optics no matter how you look at it.

 

[Big Bad Jon]

This is tweet that started it all. Huge article on men's hockey player and small sidebar fyi that woman are aus champs.

 

[FreddyFoyle]

The new story is now online. Probably be in tomorrow's print edition.

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

Huuggeee comeback by the women’s team today!

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

Just looking at the seating map for tonight…not many tickets left…should be a sell-out.

Groans. Why they have to do that tonight?

Not sure the impact it will have. It’s an in-person ticket deal (child is free/parent 1/2 price)….but it doesn’t seem like there will be many walk-up tickets available.

Hopefully it is a legit sell-out/packed rink and not one of those “sell-outs” with 1000 empty seats because the ticket holders decided not to show up.

Gardiner likes big crowds for big games.. Adult attendance hasn't filled the rink for playoff games in recent years.
