Hrabal standing on his head again to keep this scoreless. Need a goal.
Give WBB more money.

WIN 1-0
Re: 2025-26 Season
Great goaltending from Hrabal this weekend. Needed every inch of it. Vermont actually did hit the crossbar a few times, but that was as close as they could get to a goal.
Making up a lot of ground in HE with back-to-back 6 point weekends. Believe that puts is in a tie for 6th with Maine.

Using old baseball terminology UMass has a game in hand with Northeastern and Maine and two games with BU , the three teams directly above them in the standings andSheck wrote: Sat Jan 24, 2026 9:50 pmYeah Northeastern is currently in 5th, big game on Friday.

Re: 2025-26 Season
Especially considering how for a while it would looked like hockey east was a 1 bid league, this is amazing. It’s not just UMass moving up during conference play as there are currently 3 hockey east teams in at large spots whereas for most of the season it’s only been 1.While there’s still a lot of work to be done, UMass went from needing to win the hockey east tournament to now having a real shot at challenging for an at large spot in the ncaas.
This is most surprising to me any way because the majority of the wins were against mostly teams in the bottom half of the NPI This volatility makes each game more important than the previous. I assume a loss to a team outside the top 16 or would move UMass way back down. Each game is must win I think for the foreseeable future.
UMass Football: 22-3 at home when I was a student.
Leave the A-10!

Re: 2025-26 Season
After Friday hosting Northeastern, there will be nine (9) games remaining and three (3) are against teams higher in the HE standings……….for what it’s worth….
Re: 2025-26 Season
apparently, a fair number of the guys are banged up. hopefully we get some of them back soon.
All due respect, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart, I'm gonna pass.
