    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    That’s fair, I can see the logic behind this. I guess my biggest gripe is perhaps the “extended” time I feel UNH will play with this uber defensive mindset. I think JB mentioned on the previous page - looking at the Dartmouth game, UNH entered their “bend but don’t break” mindset ~5 minutes into...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    One phrase I heard before: “we can’t change because it’s the way it’s always been”… Change can be tough, but if you can’t adapt you become predicable, and that can often fly in the face of progress. Speaking of York and BC, we have had one of his 100+ point scoring captains for the last 7-8...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    If they are looking for fan input at the practice, I’d recommend someone saying that dumping the puck into the opponents zone during the Power Play has not been working out… how many times have they done this recently and the other team immediately grabs it along the boards and easily dumps it...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Looking back on that year…I believe that was JvRs freshmen season at UNH, the following year was the great come from behind win against NoDak in the opening regionals before a tough loss to the eventual champions BU 2-1 in Manchester… Those late 2000s teams turned out to be the last great...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    For years (going back to the Umile days) I have always loathed how UNH reverts to the “bend don’t break” defensive game plan in the last 5-6 minutes of a game they are leading by 1 goal. How many times has this led to a game tying goal (the Dartmouth game comes to mind) because of some odd...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Well it wasn’t pretty, but a win is a win. Weekend splits seem to be the theme across most of hockey this year. Kudos to the top line for all 3 goals. Winters seems to be taking the mold of Cronin (2025) and Blaisdell (2024) - seniors who really up there game to hopefully land a deal after the...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    I can agree with your reasoning behind no rust. I think Colgate brought their “A” game knowing they were going against a superior opponent. Kudos to them for their prep as it paid off last night. I think something similar happened with PC in reverse, as they handily beat Alaska on Friday and...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    For years they always seem to “play down” to lesser opponents, and typically play more of their “A” game when a ranked team comes to town. Not sure if it’s just a mentality thing, or they think can squeak by with reduced effort. I often hear the term “trap game” in other sports, but I think last...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Hi all, Long time lurker on the thread, but Ive been following UNH hockey for over 25 years. I have fond memories of the late 90s/early 2000 powerhouses, the long string of NCAA tournament appearances, etc. One of my earliest memories as a kid was watching the Finals against Maine and being...
