UNB Reds Thread (Part5)

[AUS Fan]

Every player on this team would have told you right up until clinching the berth in the AUS final that there were no guarantees. This is an incredibly focused group who is only worried about the next game and the mission will not be fulfilled until they win their last game of the year. This is a special group, writing history as they go.

We were at Game 2 in Moncton and the final 2 periods were a masterclass in the REDS signature forecheck. It must have seemed to UdeM in those periods like there were 7-8 Reds on the ice at one time.

If the Reds are on their game this week they will be very tough to play against for sure.

I watched both games on the interweb and have seen up close what the Red Army can do. Very skilled and dedicated bunch. There is nowhere to go when they play team defense. I fully expect them to run the table in Toronto.

Sproule back in today.

Hearing McCormick is done for the season.

This is the first time UNB has played the Thursday afternoon game since 2008 in Moncton, which was also against Brock.

I'm hearing Corky has a high ankle sprain. He's here, but won't play.

When TMU was here in the fall Duco said they would see UNB again….he was right.

I believe the 43 wins ties the 2008 team for most ever in team history…and maybe U Sports history.

Should’ve played that pre-season game against UPEI lol

Can’t wait for the episode of TMU’s docu-series that covers yesterday’s game

I hope they put up a banner or, at the very least, put something on the championship banner they hang at the AUC that acknowledges the perfect season.

That's a very good UQTR team that was up against a brick wall today.
UNB ties UofT with second most National titles at 10.
MacDougall ties Tom Watt for most titles in USport/CIS history at 9.
During the 70's, Tom Watt had 9 titles at U of T, before moving on to the NHL.

Not a surprise by any means but Kade Landry confirmed he’s not returning next year. Definitely a little bummed about that , he’s the first “favourite player” I’ve had since I was going to games as a kid watching Ryan Lindsay. Will go down as my favourite V-Red ever.

It was my first time getting to be out on the ice during the celebrations. Quite the moment.

Makes up for missing the first game!

I wonder if this is the first time they’ve gone “wire to wire” as the #1 ranked team? Maybe the 1998 team did it?

Glad you were able to do that.
I've been on the ice for a few UNB wins and I'm not a UNB guy. Go figure.

Just read a stat from Nate Sager that I thought was absurd…UNB was trailing in the 3rd period this season for a TOTAL of 22 minutes 19 seconds.

Curious what they might plan for a celebration in Fredericton? I think the AUC is hosting curling until at least the end of this week.

AUC has Canadian Mixed Doubles curling till Friday afternoon, then a NB provincial curling tournament for kids under-12 till Sunday.

According to Keating's interview with Ottawa 1200, he will be exploring pro offers.
So looking like Keating, Gilmour and Landry will be moving on.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Willms is done as well.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Willms is done as well.

I was told by a good source that he wants to go pro as soon as possible

Just getting my 2023-24 data file ready for RedSEA.

UNB gave up 22 goals in their last 20 games (Jan. 5th to UCup Finals) for a GAA of 1.10. Crazy

I was joking with some buddy's during the finals that UQTR had to score THREE just to tie and only two teams post Christmas had done it (DAL 7-3 Jan. 6 and SFX 5-3 Feb. 2). UQTR would need Richard to pull a muscle, then for Outhouse (with 5 shutouts himself) to come in and get injured to get to Somers. Even with that crazy scenario - they probably still get the shutout.

I’m interested to see what happens with the “COVID recruits”. There are still some players around the league who have been at school for one more year than their eligibility indicates so I wonder how many (if any) take advantage of that. Or do we see a lot of guys in their 3rd year of eligibility (Willms/Keating/Nurse/Carson/Landry) move on because they have completed four years of schooling?

I’ll be disappointed if all those players left but we really have been spoiled lately. We will probably have both goaltenders back. McCallum and McCormick on the blue line.
Plus, there should have high quality recruits coming in.

The narrative going into next season will be fun. How long can the streak last?

Don't be surprised if UNB head coach Gardiner MacDougall coaches Team Canada at the upcoming U18 World Championship's.

MacDougall just led the Reds to a U Sports hockey championship and perfect 43-0 season.

What are the odds Peter Reynold ends up at UNB next year? He’s having a pretty decent season, but has surprisingly seen his numbers decline quite a bit since getting traded from SJ to Halifax.
