Re: 2011-2012 UNH Wildcats

That sounds like the best advice I've heard in a long time!

Probably even better after rather than before games?

So, any chance UNH can pull off the upset tomorrow night?

Not to look beyond the next game, but Saturday night in Providence will not be a given W this year.

I will be back at Lake Whitt for the Brown game on the 30th.

So, the two Div 1 teams with the longest running number of appearances in the NCAA post-season, I think, appear to be in desperate straights at this point in the season.

Being a mathematician, I've been playing with the CHODR statistical model. I like it because in contrast to most models that assess wins and losses in one way or another, this one considers goals for and goals against.

CHODR predicts 3.61 BU to 3.50 UNH tomorrow night. Essentially a draw, with the slightest favor to BU
A variant on the model that I've been working with which considers strictly away games for BU and strictly home games for UNH predicts 2.98 BU to 4.68 UNH.

The Providence game Saturday was moved to Wed, Jan 11, for some reason.

Unfortunately, it doesn't consider trending things like recently awful goaltending as well as injuries.

Why not both?!

Looking like plenty of tickets on ticketmaster.... but if there is a season ticket holder with 2 seats that can't use them, I'd be happy to take them off your hands and save the ticketmaster fees...

I have a hard time believing you couldn't find a pair at the door (maybe discounted from a season ticket holder looking to unload) or at the least at the box office w/out Ticketba stard charges

I was guessing the box office will have them at gametime as well...

Have the games been selling out this year? I'm guessing though, that a midweek game between two up and down teams is not going to be the highest in ticket demmand.

Attendance has been disappointing so far this year. I think 4800 for the UML game on Saturday night.
scratch that, there were 4327

from the box scores, the attendances working backwards: (out of 6501)
UML: 4327
UAH: 4378
UML: 5664
Maine: 6501
UMass: 5244
Northeastern: 4280
Union: 4972
BC: 6501

Tickets are always available out front...anybody that pays face value (nevermind fees) is a fool

Re: 2011-2012 UNH Wildcats

speaking of nothing changes, why would the starting goaltender?

Casey DeSmith, a native of Rochester, NH, will get the start in net tonight for the Wildcats, according to Coach Umile this morning on Greg & The Morning Buzz.
