It’s a big pond up there, so they will take advantage of that

No stranger to not having a clear No. 1 goalie, Parker said the unstable goalie situation can be tough on a team.“It hurts any team if you don’t have great goaltending,” Parker said. “You need a goalie that’s got a .930 save percentage and a 2.2 goals-against average … If you don’t have that, you’re not going to be successful.”On http://www.dressesforpromcheap.com the Minutemen have a few threats, most notably junior forwards Branden Gracel (11g, 11a) and Conor Sheary (5g, 12a). There is also always the threat of another junior forward, Mike Pereira, brother of former Terrier captain Joe Pereira.

Above all else, though, is UMass’ speed, which Parker raves about each time his squad takes on the Minutemen.“They are the fastest skating team in this league,” Parker said before saying UMass is a potential top-four team in the conference. “It’s a big pond up there, so they will take advantage of that. But they don’t just cruise around and skate, they will work hard, they will bump you. It will be like playing a faster Providence team.”Friday’s game will be a big one, and not just for the implications on http://www.dressesforpromcheap.com/kate-spade-new-york-c-3.html. It is BU’s final tune-up before the all-important Beanpot, and another chance for the Terriers to continue to climb out of what Parker has termed their “grand funk” early second semester.

Still, Judge Keith Longacre of Glenpool, Okla., needed less than 10 minutes to crown Winchester and Joshua Wiersema, 17, of Flower Mound, the winner for creativity, originality and amount of detail. Winchester wore an authentic Civil War saddle and other gear while Wiersema was decked out in a full U.S. cavalry uniform."It's our first win here," Wiersema said shortly after the victory. "I thought we stood a good chance, but you never know what a judge will like."
