| Tommies Captain, Felix-Antoine Poulin |
UNB scored three goals in each period and Randy Cameron (Martin, S. MacDonald) scored the Tommies lone goal at 8:44 of the third period to make it 6 to 1 at the time. Alex St-Arnaud played the full game for St. Thomas.
Game notes:
This was the first exhibition game between STU and UNB in over 3 years. I think the last game was pre-season in 2009 at Willie O'Ree Place. That was an 8 to 1 thumping.
New recruits Matt Bissonnette, Ian Saab, and Sawyer Hannay were in line up this afternoon. Michael Beaudry was not.
New Maryland native Mike Thomas does not like STU. The guy is a chirpaholic and spends more time in the penalty box than he does on the ice. That said, he must have had 3 points in this afternoon's game including a goal and two assists. No boxscore was available at the time this was written to verify.
Final shots on goal were approximately 35 - 26 for UNB. At least 4 of UNB's goals were caused by bad turn overs by the Tommies in their own end. They paid dearly for those transgressions.
UNB goalie Charles Lavigne, who started in goal for the Varsity Reds, picked up his first career win at the Aitken Centre when STU and UNB were opponents.
St. Thomas has developed a very strange trend this year. Every third game they get beat SOUNDLY! Game #3 - 7 to 2 vs Acadia. Game #6 - 10 - 2 vs UPEI. Game #9 - 9 to 1 vs SMU. Game #12 - 9 to 2 vs Moncton. Game #15 - 9 to 1 vs. UNB. Take those games out and our biggest loss was a 4 to 1 defeat to U de M. All the other games have been one goal losses or wins. Are we allowed a few mulligans?….perhaps a few do-overs?
STU will prepare for a big home weekend this coming Friday and Saturday versus first place Acadia and last place Dalhousie.

ReplyDeleteSay what you will about him, the guy gives 110% each and every shift, and unfortunately for him has been labeled by the officials, his hit to the head was probably a penalty but the second minor was for what? Defending himself? I am pretty sure that everyone would have done the same after Froat's speared him. Pretty cowardly on Froat's part.
Whatever you say buddy. The guy leads the league in penalty minutes by a long shot but he has been labeled by the officials? He gets what he deserves. Froat's didn't even play on Sunday. You don't show any bias at all….check the facts.
