Re: 2013-2014 Union Dutchmen - Can U Three Peat? (Part II)
Hey Dutchmen, this UNH fan will be rooting for you to go all the way at the Frozen Four. You clearly showed you were better than UVM and PC, (either of which, frankly speaking, I would have preferred to have advanced to the FF over you.)
Be that as it may, I hope that you beat BC and then NoDak or Minny (assuming they win tonight.) This would be your first NC, am I correct? The other 3 teams have had their share of success with national championships. It's time to have yours. Go Dutchmen!

Good luck Dutchmen vs. BC. Carry the flag for the ECAC and make it two NCs in a row. Been watching all the games this weekend and IMHO Union is in another galaxy from the remaining teams. Should be no trouble in Phillie for you guys.

Thank you, goblue, we greatly value your support and those of any and all of your fantastic UNH fans. For us, playing against BC again, well ... it will be something very very special
But on Friday evening after Union defeated Vermont 5-2, Bodie was one of the Dutchmen who thanked Sneddon for everything he did at Union. “I thought it was a pretty classy move,” Sneddon said after the loss.
“I just said thanks for everything you’ve accomplished at Union. He came in at a real tough spot and he was the first one to really get that program moving in the right direction,” Bodie said. “I’m grateful for what he did for us and I just thought it was important that he heard from current players.”
Just what you would expect from the Captain .... a pretty classy guy.

I haven't seen much of the other teams play, but Union is so quick, Colgate is the only team that I have seen that could pretty much skate with them. We ran out of gas after the two OT game vs Q-Pac. I think Union is a totally complete team with NO weaknesses. BC looked to me much slower for the most part and some big forwards that really aren't as quick, maybe fast if they are allowed to skate but I think the smaller quicker forwards of Union will be all over them. I can't wait to see the game, wish it was this weekend. Go U !!!!!

Great analysis, you sound pretty positive and I take heart from it. One weakness, at least statistically that comes to my mind, is Union's abysmal faceoff percentage. It seems to me anecdotally, that it's improving somewhat, but I don't have the figures. This may be getting a little picky, but I think it's an often overlooked part of the game.

Since my Badgers won't be in attendance (pathetic performance in Cincy), I will be throwing my support behind Union! Might even order a hoodie to bring along to Philly.
