Re: UNH Wildcats 2018-2019: Souza the Opportunity or Louza the Opportunity
Nice win last night. Too bad NU could not beat BC. We got a lot of good bounces last, will have to be much better tonight. Vela had a couple of big defensive zone face off wins while UML skated the extra attacker. It felt like the game did not match the SOGs. In the third, UML was bringing it, but it didn't feel like they were 8 - 1 bringing it. Lots of complete team defense all night, but again, lots of favorable bounces. Note to forwards: when a defenseman loses is stick? Give him the one in your hands. Jeez.
Go 'cats, Warriors, Huskies and Minutemen!

Personally thought it was a typical UNH v UML game there were a lot of heroics out there tonight (that goal line save?!?) but the ‘Cats scratched it out!!! We’ll savor this one and see what happens tomorrow! Souza notes in the story that he knows they (UNH) won't get away with giving what they gave tonight tomorrow and there were some scrums. Mike Robinson had a great game for shut out #5 and there were timely defensive plays that helped them secure the win so we will take it!!!
Congrats to our Seniors who played their last home game at the ‘Whitt: Captain Marcus Vela, Assistant C Ara Nazarian, Frankie
Cefalu, Rich Boyd and Chris Miller. Matt Dawson will be back for a 5th season it was disclosed tonight. Awesome bunch wishing them well going forward still plenty of hockey left!!Last edited by HockeyRef; 03-01-2019, 11:46 PM.

Originally posted by wildcatdc View PostHuge win. Played better as night when on, a nice reversal of trend. Had a hard time early of dispossessing them of the puck in our own end, that changed over the course of the 2nd and 3rd. Better on the breakout later in the game, and generally played much more aggressively in the latter two periods. Stayed out of the box after taking three earlier on. Robinson rock solid.
A case where SOG would tell you the exact opposite!
Great game to watch, period. Wish we had more than a “Friday night crowd”. Especially on senior night.

Originally posted by Dan View PostIt does not surprises me at all, that Karson Kuhlman is the kind of prospect that recently has them excited, while Donato is the kind they're giving up on - but that is more of a concern for people who closely follow and support the Bruins. And I am not one of those people (though being the NHL rep. from Boston, I prefer they do well). So agree to disagree...

Originally posted by NCAA watcher View PostNot sure I'd draw that conclusion.
Wyse - Maass
McKinnon - Verrier
Erickson - Dawson
Bahn - McElhaney
Hickey
It doesn't seem outside the realm of possibility that one of the three incoming D would have been asked to defer (and stuck up their nose)? It seems as likely as Bahn being dropped outright or changing his mind in a vacuum. Either way, if it allows UNH to add a true impact D for the future than that is for the best. Just a curiosity...

Originally posted by Snively65 View PostI do not think that the Bruins were going to get much value for Donato with him languishing in Providence, where he was not producing much there either.
Need some scoring or least some toughness on the bottom two lines when Pasternak returns to claim his spot in the top six.
Just one year ago, Donato was a darling (and top goal-scoring) prospect. All he's done since then (again at 22) is score 12 goals in 50 NHL games (a 20 G/Season Pace) - I doubt the bloom has come off the rose for anyone but the Bruins (apparently). They could have gotten more impact for him - which is completely separate from the fact that they didn't have to give him up to acquire a guy like Coyle. Coyle's best scoring season in the NHL was 21 goals - Donato will do that on the regular and in his sleep, at a minimum. I'd expect he'll have a number of 25-30 goal seasons before his career is over and possibly as early as next year. You don't trade that for a hard-working, third-liner - that type of player is so much easier to find...

Originally posted by Dan View PostMeaning Dawson is back next year? If so, is retaining Dawson the direct catalyst for losing Bahn...?
