Utica University 2024-25 - Retooled and Reloaded

[Tom Coughlin]

Who would win 2019 uwsp or 2022 adrian? Id personally pick 2022 Adrian 6 goals a game is nuts they blew almost everyone out

I still have nightmares from the 2022 Adrian team. SNC was good enough to go on a 19 game winning streak that season, but Adrian beat them by a combined 26-9 in their three matchups, including a 12-3 beatdown in the NCHA title game.

2020 Norwich might have beat both of them….

[Tom Coughlin]

Was that the team that had like 10 shutouts in a row?

[Lord_Zubin]

yes it was 9 straight shutouts and 14 overall on the season although id still give the nod to adrian cause theyre only loss was to utica somehow that norwich team lost to middlebury castleton and tied usm and cortland back when they sucked

[bakdraft21]

I'll take the 87'Oswego team anytime......with a wink to Remi

They went through a couple bumps but that team was playing unbeatable hockey the last 2 months of the season. I’ve never seen anything like it and probably never will again.

Pshen only played in six games and Roberts SAA was .877.

Yeah, those defections don't seem so bad when you look at the numbers.

I know nothing about the new goalie, but I'm fairly confident that Landsberger can hold down the fort for the foreseeable future. Hope the new guy is above average, because I see Sturtz as strictly an emergency option, at this point.

The 2nd half should be interesting. I can envision UU running the table aside from the Genny weekend, during which anything might happen...

That weekend could make/break this season.

[Fishman'81]

Even with all the games available that I'm interested in tonight, the Oswego game will be my primary focus. A win will bolster Utica's ranking more than any remaining games, aside from the Genny weekend.

OSU used to be the biggest game of the season, back in The Day...

[Lord_Zubin]

2-0 Utica Midway through the 2nd the aud haunts us. It's not even Utica the team 4 other schools have played us in that building. Wasn't this game originally supposed to be at the nexus center? Smart move to switch it back props to u guys

No never, they did it once and never again unless absolutely necessary from what I understand

[Pioneer247]

Nice win for us tonight

More importantly, the loss for Geneseo, as well as a big win for Adrian over Trine has us up to 2nd in the NPI

Also fun fact, as of this moment, the best four schedules in the country belong to the UCHC:

Chatham - 1
Brockport - 2
Manhattanville - 3
Utica - 4

That could mean something or it could not, but it's a cool change in the UCHC narrative for now

Well, that's a key part of the calculus, as long as you actually win vs. the strong teams...

I thought that OSU looked good, the sandbaggers' comments over on the Oswego thread notwithstanding. Utica's new goalie is a welcome addition.

Now, let's figure out how to take a game or two v. Genny.

[Russell Jaslow]

It was a great game. The better team won, but no shame for Oswego.

[sshablak]

Looks like Oz gave Utica all they could handle.

[Fishman'81]

A much closer game than was expected, but a win is a win (says Captain Obvious).

Piros got the start tonight, interested in seeing him with my own eyes tomorrow.

(My stream didn't work from Rye, but when do they get anything right down there?)
