Re: UNH Wildcats 2016-17 Vol II -- We Do Have a Hockey Season Here!?!

And can a UNH fan explain why the two HE banners have UNH claiming a tournament title in 1979 and a regular season title in 1974 when the league didn't start play until 1984?

Haha... every time someone says 'hang a banner', they apparently do.

UML lucky to get outta Dodge with a W! The excuses for UML's poor performance are laughable!

Correct me if I'm wrong here ... but UML actually won the game, didn't they?

I don't see any excuses about Lowell poor play either here or at the Lowell thread.

What (if anything) prevents UNH from putting up a separate ECAC banner for those pre-HE titles?

What do they do at BU (5), BC (2), NU (1) and/or PC (1) to reflect their pre-HE ECAC tourney titles?

Does UVM do something in Gutterson's rafters to honor their single RS "Cleary Cup" title ('96)?

I figured that's what those two dates were, ECAC. Why wouldn't UNH put up ECAC banners, reflects past success of program pre-HE. Don't know what the others do but I bet they don't put up banners with non-existent HE championship dates on them. LOL

Agreed, unless me reinforcing Chuck's observation about Lowell's recent schedule perhaps leading to them being a little tired last night constitutes an laughable excuse, that's a pretty good stretch. I guess players maybe being tired doesn't lead to a reduced level of play? I always thought that being tired sometimes affects one's ability to perform at their normal level.

See 2016 hockey east championship game. Or if you're like me, pretend it never happened

Yup. They were spent after a 3OT game that took 4:21 to play.

Top line had a long night I thought...and agree with the slow start UNH brought to the game. The early play looked frantic, pucks/passes into skates. But I am encouraged by most of the play of the night and could care less if UML was tired or whatever. Interesting line shakes ups wonder what tonight brings. I do like what I saw from Nonis..he and Wyse seemed to step up as I felt Cleland struggled. A 60 min effort by the 'Cats should've / could've made the diff and we didn't have that unfortunately!

Today's game is postponed until tomorrow because of the storm.

Oh you know, they had "tired legs" and their schedule has been daunting!

They used to have an ECAC banner I think. They ran out of room for all those banners though and had to consolidate

Watched the game on TV and they mentioned Nonis'name a lot IIRC. Of course Caron wouldn't shut his pie hole the whole night so I had to mute the sound so I may have missed some props!

Do you not believe that four games in 8 days, all on the road (Hanover, Troy and Durham), and then playing on an Olympic ice sheet would affect a team? Especially when they're playing a team that's only on their second in 8?
