Knee-Jerk Reactions to UNH/Miami

Okay, where to start... Personally, I took two different approaches to the game this weekend. For Friday night's game I showed up very intoxicated and for Saturday's game I waited until after the game to get very drunk. Before I get into my "game analysis" I want to start this off by saying:

Why the FUCK to people who don't care or know anything about hockey get tickets to the games? During the first game I was stuck behind and next to a group of girls (and a few guys) who apparently could care less about UNH hockey. Not only that, but they arrived about 45 minutes early to get good seats in the second/third rows. These two girls in front of me spent the entire game taking pictures of themselves and talking about what they were going to wear for Halloween. SHUT THE FUCK UP AND WATCH THE GAME. You are wasting a ticket for someone who may actually like hockey. I had several friends who couldn't go because stupid people like you are a waste of a seat. (And a human soul?) It's nice that you are trying to support the team, but if you plan on talking the whole time then go the the back of the student section. I was about 2 seconds from taking her camera and throwing it onto the ice. At least the girls kind of participated in the cheers (the only time they stopped taking self-portraits) the guys they were with just stood there like thing 1 and thing 2 acting like they were too cool to cheer along with the rest of the student section. Kids like that really piss me off.

Now to make some notes about the games:

• Foster allowed 11 goals in 5 periods.
• 9 goals combined in the 2nd period of both games.
• Bad goaltending or bad defense? Or both?
• We still competed with the #1 team in the country for 5 periods.
• Miami-Ohio is named after a River Valley.
• Bobby Butler has 3 goals in 3 games.
• Blake Kessel is running the point well.
• 2 power-play goals in 1 period. Already an improvement from last year.
• Hey Miami, how does it feel to have your most famous alumni be Ben Roethlisjghkfhgjkshkberger? (Steeler's QB and 2 time scumbag of the year.)
• The Whit had way too many empty seats...
• Blame it on pumpkin-fest or overpriced tickets?
• Senior Defenseman Nick Krates recorded his first career goal. Congrats!
• Definitely a rebuilding year with a lot of young players.
• Should lead to a roller-coaster season.
• After 3 games can it be said that Mike Sislo was a product of James van Riesmdyk? Please prove me wrong Sislo, we need you!
• Expect a lot of high scoring games.
• NCAA referees still suck.
• Miami forward Justin Vaive had a career weekend with one assist, one hitting after the whistle, two hooks and 3 punches thrown. All without a game misconduct!

Vaive's arm. I call that a punch. NCAA suspend this man!

In honor of Vaive I will be naming the hack of the game after every game I attend. No matter what happens it will always be an opposing player. (Because Danny Dries is gone.) The first ever Vaive-Hack award goes to none other than Vaive himself. (A no brainer.) Literally, this kid arguably has no brain. I need to think of a name for the award. Words that should be included: Vaive, douch(er), hack...

Justin "World's-Biggest-Hack-Douche" Vaive

Stay classy, not Vaive-y. Douchebag.

PS: Here he his throwing another cheap shot.
