I can remember a number of occasions where UNH fans wanted a goal, made that point LOUD and clear and the players were compelled (and able) to deliver...
Greg’s right - it will never be the same. It’s a different world with TV, streaming services (often provided by the schools themselves) and ticket pricing strategies. As well as the situation at UNH - a program that used to regularly be in the NC mix pre-season and play/act like one for much of the season. It’s too bad, worth reminiscing about but probably not complaining about. If UNH wins the atmosphere can still be very good. Certainly good enough to enjoy at a high level...
Dan's right; tonight we need to light that lamp..Go 'Cats!!!!
Dartmouth played their 2018-19 second string goaltender yesterday at HU - in an interesting move for a season and conference opener. Ferguson started just two games last season, including one at UNH where he gave up three goals in just five-plus minutes. His beating out Clark would be one of the most surprising elements of the off-season to me, as Clark was very strong last season. It will be interesting to see if Clark is now second in the DC rotation or if (hopefully) he has some harmless malady that will keep him out for the opening weekend before an immediate return to health and a wonderful season of his own...
Another concern is Dartmouth’s big first line of talented scorers WELL over six feet tall. They’re dangerous and a very interesting match-up for a potential UNH first line all well under six feet...
I like Dartmouth a lot - but UNH needs goals in a big way to gain confidence for a tough upcoming stretch (especially considering how ME has kicked off the year). Let’s hope they get them in spades tonight. Dartmouth can recover next weekend...
