UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

Yours is an interesting theory. But UNH's 10 ppg in HE games is the fewest by any team. No team plays defense first on power plays. That's lack of offensive talent.

Ah, my kingdom for a Cox (Ralph or Cliff) a Haydar or a Krog! Perhaps a Hemingway or a Butler. Can Reading MA send another Sean Collins or Steve Saviano? Who was the last true offensive force for the Wildcats?

I can't argue the pp is not very strong and that is one of the differentiators for this young team, however, I can say that we are not that far from teams that you would have a hard time saying they lack offensive talent. BU (14.9%), Maine (17%), Dartmouth (17.5%) UNH (13.9%). It may be structure, puck luck, etc.
 
Winters-Leclerc-Skrastins
Newcombe-Gagnon-Ring
Oliver-Macdonald-Turner
Deturris-Siedem-Walsh

UNH breaks out of their scoring slump and scores a PP goal- UNH 4-2 and Todd Angilly kills the National Anthem!! (Angilly will save the prediction from not aging well jic) :ROFLMAO:
Go Cats!!

Prob Angus Crookshank? Tyler K was the last 100 point scorer. I mean last couple of seasons certain Seniors had decent end of career years but to say we've had a super star..years.
 
Well… you can’t expect to win if you only play the first half of a game and take the second half off - especially against the #7 team in the country.

Notice how the 2 teams responded after that goal callback. PU scores within 30 seconds, and that was essentially it. UNH had an absolutely abysmal PP soon thereafter with nothing going on (did they even get a shot?)

Better coaching won tonight. It was pretty clear. PU seemed to know exactly what UNH was doing there in the third. No good chances until garbage time.

Giving up 5 goals in a period is impressive in all the wrong ways…

Again, I don’t know where we get another win this year. It’s been well over a month since our last against Colgate, and it may not be until October before our next, but I hope to be wrong.

Onto BU next weekend…

UNH “moribund”? Interesting take for a team that is just one year removed from its best season in 11 years, hit 20 wins.

They’re also pouring $10M into a $16M facility upgrade

The attendance remains strong (double the avg attendance of VT btw)

And while you’re busy writing obituaries, UNH’s roster is loaded with a young core of new players with only one upper classman on defense. Newcombe, Gagnon, Oliver, Carr, Lavins, Ring, Macpherson, Turner, Siedem, MacDonald and the entire defense returning next year. We should have tempered our expectations with so many new players this year (see Maine).

But please, tell us more about how the sky is falling. Your argument points at this group of players not being talented enough to win (despite some pretty big wins this season), while you sit on both sides of the "fire the coach" fence. I disagree with most of your points and believe UNH hockey is getting ready to turn the corner. UNH will always be a hockey town, and we root for the boys through the good and bad times. Conmy should have stayed and played some defense. He may have been a difference maker this season and would have stood out in the crowd. My 2 cents.... (Forever Optimistic!)

I'm worried about you. Delusional thinking is a leading indicator of early onset dementia.
 
Well that was fun. I think scoring in the first 2 minutes might have been the worse thing for the team. We then turned to MS7 prevent defense which let to 6 unanswered goals.

The positive of the night was it was nice to see Porta Potty there in his 36-jersey presenting his big donation to the team.
