Did anyone else receive Marty's October 2 letter explaining the men's hockey donor benefits program?I will not be out cheered in my own building.

Re: UNH Wildcats 2019/2020 Ready to Rock and Roll!!
I was trying to watch individual players in the game as it was going on, so I'll bring a few observations to the table. Players I will be leaving out would be what I consider "as advertised and observed" (See: Blackburn, Crookshank, Robinson, Wyse, Maass, etc.)
Grasso: For the first time since his injury I felt he looked comfortable and confident out there, we saw flashes of it last year but never in a consistent manner which is what I am hoping for going forward. I agree that the first line may need to see some adjustment regarding size and matchups but PG was finding his way to space and getting some good shots and looks out there. Perhaps fully recovered with a new leadership role will push him back into that early freshman form that we saw even with more focus on him from the opposition.
Engaras: Filip looked ready to step in and make some people notice him out there. Still some of the early adjustments will be needed to be truly game ready but easily our #2/#3 center depending on how the lines shake out. With the ever looming possibility of injuries to guys above him there may be chances for him to slide up the chart after he gets into the action in mid November. I look for him to use this season as preparation for a (hopefully) strong 2 season run in the UNH top 6.
Taylor: There was a small sample size ad he did not see a lot of shots in the game. I'm still trying to figure out if my interpretation of his body language in net is just his style or not but something just looks off. I guess maybe I was looking for him to have adjusted a bit after his struggles last year and I'm going to keep watching as time goes on. I hope to see him get a solid 8-10 starts this season and get more comfortable in the net than what we saw last year. I hope we get to see a split in net out in Miami to see both of our goaltenders in game action early.
Our newcomers looked good, nothing really stood out aside from the physicality mentioned and it will be good to see some get ice time and develop throughout the season. I don't see a lot of offensive juggernauts in this class but if they can put in 5-10 goals it will be a good depth group. Our defense this season will not be in need of the new guys being exceptional out of the gate either. The new guys will have the time to learn the speed and systems at this level and will (hopefully) be better for it in the long term. It is a good feeling as a fan to not have to rely on stellar freshman efforts to determine the outcome of the season.
I can see this team getting into 5th/6th in Hockey East this season. Top 4 would be great but I think that might be a stretch for this season. I think there is a good amount of optimism and I'm liking the recruiting classes going beyond this year as well.Last edited by deltabravo62; 10-08-2019, 12:51 PM.

I'd love to give more money to get more thingies but, going to Ireland and just about every other game on the planet will have to suffice. Maybe I'll throw another C note into the mix; gets me a one time blurb on the 'tron...I will not be out cheered in my own building.

The key for UNH will he containing Miami’s top-line of Green, Bachman and Gilling, which combined for ALL the offense in the RedHawks, 7-4, loss to Bowling Green last weekend. It seems, Miami will have trouble depth scoring this year (once again) so UNH needs to put the onus on other players to score goals...
Right out of the gate a good opportunity for Robinson and the defense to showcase that they’re the strength of the team and a chance for the question marks on offense to be answered against a team that allowed a seven spot in the opener...
On the road, I’d guess split - but UNH has a real chance to take more. At least one win is an absolute must. Miami could be in for a long year...Live Free or Die!!

Re: UNH Wildcats 2019/2020 Ready to Rock and Roll!!
Not sure if this is the only way to watch the 'Cats v Miami this weekend but, here's the link. Cheaper to buy the monthly pass (then cancel unless you are into this team) . Anyone know any other avenues to watch the games? I'm going to be camping so I hope to watch the games later on if possible but I'll have my twitter accounts. That said, HR expects a FULL accounting the games please from those who do watch here!
