UNB Reds Thread (Part5)

[FreddyFoyle]

You know who has really impressed me this year that doesn’t get talked about… Dubois .. Earlier in the year people were talking about him being a possible scratch with everyone healthy. I can’t see that happening at this point , AUS site doesn’t post face off % but he has to be near the top , very effective penalty killer , wins tons of puck battles … Not everyone is going to be a scorer but he brings something to the table that you need to win , could see him developing into a Mark Simpson by his 4th year.

He was brought in to be that large faceoff winning centre like Simpson, and he's delivering. That was his rep in Junior apparently.

They got in last night, and I was told they all wanted to play today to get ready for X on Saturday.

So what you are saying is that they really want to win tomorrow??

Dubois was rated one of the top face-off guys in the OHL last year.

17th straight season with 20+ wins

I believe UNB can clinch first place win a win tomorrow.

Just went on the box office site and it isn't showing any tickets available for tomorrow's game. I know it is a school game...but that can't be correct??

Might be a weird question, sorry, but do Peer and Mancini still do the pickle juice and mustard thing?

Technically they can. But, logically they already have. They have 2 games in hand over SMU who would have to win every game while UNB loses every game. Same for SFX and UdeM.

Ten different goal scorers last night

Top 20 by faceoff percentage (min 50 faceoffs taken) for games up to and including Jan 11th.

Just came from the AUC…game is technically sold out…limited number of general admission tickets available.

Another “sell-out” with hundreds of empty seats.

Perhaps this is easy for me to say as I don’t know the inner-workings of selling tickets/fire regulations/etc….but however many general admission tickets they sell to off-set some of the season ticket holders who don’t show up, they need to up the number. When I came in I saw a bunch of people walking out after being turned away in the lobby because it was sold out. Definitely could’ve filled the rink
even more if they had some more GA tickets available.

I have always wondered how many “season tickets” are people not using them for hockey since they are “all sport passes” which means I technically have tickets to every UNB event however besides a couple women’s games have been to only men’s hockey since they became “all sport” , surely their are people who bought tickets to go to basketball games who don’t use them for hockey .

I guess there is no way to "manage" that. They could sell 500 more GA tickets, but if the Season Pass holders show up then you have an overflow.

I sat behind the bench the last game down in Moncton and didn’t notice anything but now I'm curious . Drinking straight mustard is… a choice ….

I remember reading about that in the summer when I was digging around for info on those guys. Personally, I can’t imagine doing that…but whatever works I guess lol.

Great game this afternoon. Had a serious playoff intensity. They have one more meeting in Antigonish to decide the season series

Just a bit more intensity/emotion/physicality compared to last night.

After a pretty even first period UNB locked it down for the next 37 minutes…only giving up 3-4 shots. I don’t think X had more than one or two shots in the 3rd period until they got those late power plays…then they had a pile.
