    Re: UNH Wildcats 2019/2020 Ready to Rock and Roll!!

    I forget what year it was that UNH played out there, 2011 or 2012 (Goumas was freshman), but the place was rockin' back then. Our small UNH contingent, maybe 25 or 30, was pretty upset because the school hadn't set aside seats for us. Someone talked to Umile after the game and the next night we had good seats on the blue line. That was a fun weekend.

      That was 2010-11 and the teams traded 6-3 victories to open the season. They’d meet again in the first-round of the NCAA Tournament which UNH won before losing to Notre Dame in the regional final...

      It was a different time, with both teams amongst the National elite. Miami’s student body isn’t a rabid fan base by any means - give them a winner (Wally World, Big Ben, Hockey a few years back) and they’ll show up in droves for the good time - but if not, they’ll stay home and watch OSU, UM, ND or UK on the tube. It’s too bad because the new Goggin is a wild place to watch a game when it’s full (as is the Whitt)...

      Give UNH students credit - while the student section is not as wild (or as over-flowed) as it was in the UNH hey dey they still show up and the Whitt’s attendance concerns aren’t really student related (more so general population). I wish Miami had that.

      Hopefully tonight will be better (though early results won’t help) as it’s not an easy place to get to on a Friday night for fans from Cincy or Dayton, etc...

        UNH dominated last night against a Miami team that Hs really struggled to contain any forward lines through two games - Miami has surrendered odd man rush after odd man rush en route to a 6.5 GAA through two games now...

        UNH especially abused Miami’s bigger defenders using quickness to attack them relentlessly - Bray Crowder in particular who took three penalties and was a minus-2 on the night...

        First test of the year for UNH - can you do that two nights in a row? Can you step on the throat of a team on the mat? Miami has to be looking at this game as a (personal) statement game - they need an effort to convince themselves they can be competitive or it could be a long year...

        It’s likely Kraws gets a start for Miami. I wonder if Taylor plays for UNH or they wait until next weekend at Bentley...

          Good points all around Dan...no doubt Miami is going to bring it and how UNH responds will be important..hoping noone gets hurt in the process. Any word on Blackburn? Agree Robbie gets the start. Hoping to be able to watch this one around the campfire!! Go 'Cats!!

              Good to hear. Meanwhile, they suspended Johnson a game for the hit.

              Probably a good thing for him. He would have had a long night.

                For his second penalty, Crowder full-on bear-hugged one of our forwards, lifted him off the ice and horizontal to the ground, and dropped him. Right in the corner in front of UNH fan section. It was ridiculous. Guy was frustrated all night.

                  Miami comes out firing, shots are 62 RedHawks early - but UNH scores on the PP against the run of play and leads 1-0. Crookshank’s first of the year, from Gildon and Grasso...

                  Miami now to a PP of their own...

                        Will do what I can - heading to CC/Minn soon, myself, but will be watching on my phone...

                        Also just learned this is Fall Break weekend at Miami, so that is certainly contributing to the disappointing crowds as most students usually bolt for the weekend...

                          Great start to the season for UNH special teams - currently 3/7 (.429) on the power-play and 5/5 (1.00) on the penalty kill, after going 2/3 and 4/4 in their exhibition, respectively. Will go a LONG way towards a successful season if they can put up numbers anywhere close to this consistently...

                          • Checking other box scores UW leads MC, 2-0, with the second goal credited as an empty-net, power-play goal - which, I’m guessing means a delayed penalty against UW while on the PP, resulting in MC putting the puck in their own net...

                              That makes sense. Even campus was dead.

                              Meanwhile, scheduling gods working against UNH fans tonight. Football at 6pm, Hockey at 7 and #13 soccer at UMBC at 7. The latter can be seen for free, the only one of the three.

                              UNH 10-7 over #22 Stony Brook early in 3rd.
