    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    That's the truth. The way the current unh powerplay is running, they barely get a chance to set up anyway. An aggressive pk - full pressure on the points - is all you need to wipe out unh powerplays. Make it uncomfortable on unh rookie d. Dartmouth and Colgate both ran this system. And unh also...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    What about behind the net attack is so bothersome? This take has been a recurring theme in here. It may not yield scoring (assists, actually) for UNH - and in that case it looks futile - but it is one of the top 2 or 3 highest yielding assist origins. Look it up. Or, play the game and you will...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    So here come the Dartmouth Indians Big Greens (how do you create a mascot for that??!) featuring the weakest schedule in college hockey (SoS=63), having played over 70% of their games at home. Betting Lines: Moneyline: Dartmouth around -130 / UNH around +100 to +110. Puck Line (Spread)...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Ok bud, whatever you say. I'm not a lip reader, but clearly that's another talent of yours... It wasn't incidental. Russell leaned into him. It wasn't a major, that's probably what they were discussing. Review is limited to determining major only. They missed the interference minor and missed...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Enjoyed the physical ramp-up earlier in the game, seemingly triggered by Russell's cheap clip of Lavins. I probably missed it in here somewhere but where was Gagnon last night?

    Somewhere between 2004 and 2014, your ideal may have already happened with the Riverstone Cup. Somebody else can chase the attendance score. In any case, it would be a good thing to bring it back, provided SNHU arena could guarantee real ice...

    There's a lot to unpack in there, 1BC...I'll just say fair enough. Good past call on Cashman.

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Ha! Nah, nothing to do with Cashman -- don't know anything about him, really, but he is improving things obviously, so good for him and them. Still think they are overrated, bud. Like I wrote, we'll see. My snark around Dartmouth hockey is more about its phantom fan-base, which can't hold a...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Yes they did. And SoS now at a lofty #61 on only 8 games, most of which at home, and 5 of the next 6 games at home. Undoubtedly they will rack up a bunch of wins. No stress, no exposure, no travel, no problem. Totally overrated in my view, but we'll see... They did beat Cornell, so I'll give...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    As a simpleton, I have always defaulted to the question: "But who have they played?". So not to look too far ahead, can't wait for the Dartmouth fantasy to slam into reality. They currently have #58 SoS on a grand total of 7 games played, like half of any team not IV. That's a joke... Meanwhile...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    I thought the third period was one of the best I've seen all season. Team speed, great backcheck support, a lot less puck watching/chasing than the first 2 periods. Good structure and tenacity (without penalties), everything contested. Looked like the higher the tempo, the better the passing...

    A split would be a lucky result. Will take Chauvette or Whale standing on their head. Until Lavins and Winters return, scoring will be skinny at best...

    Good rundown. And the dude can play golf. 1 handicap, always in contention for the club championship at Canterbury Woods

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Agreed, he was super. What strikes (,surprises) me is the generally excellent play of the D. 5 underclassmen. They sometimes get bottled up on the breakout but gotta believe the system will get smoother eventually. Great structure on the PK. They control space and block a ton of shots. A lot to...

    Conte is a basketball facility, IMHO. And how is it that the geniuses screwed up the hockey bench layout?

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Yup, in a commitment bind for 2026-27. Completely agree that there NEEDS to be movement (and hurt feelings) for UNH to keep pace with the caliber of the 2025-26 recruits. Plus, probably bad strategy to NOT pull from CHL in 2026-27. Think you gotta stay active and visible in that market, in...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Ok, its a bit off topic but these guys can put the playlist together for my next cookout shindig. Not sure I would have guessed this list but when I think about it for a minute -- based on what I see at some of these shows -- it kinda makes sense... "Fav Musicians" From Bios: Coombs = Jason...
