Wow! I am really glad that I did not need to post that Carl Palmer and his young band mates played better at the FM than our Cats at the Whitt tonight. :-)

And, thanks to all you old timers for endorsing my decision to hear Carl Palmer's band live tonight. They were awesome.

How about that kid on the Chapman stick? Pretty impressive.

Enjoyed watching what I could of the game last night....funny thing I noticed about Filip Engaras.....the kid can win faceoffs!!! ….and also what a competitor Angus Crookshank is. In the post game presser he was asked "what are you looking forward to most in going to Ireland"? His reply "playing hockey". It was obvious just watching one period (and OT) that the game plan was pucks to the net boys and that's just what they did. Happy for the split and happy to see that game plan bring dividends. Of course didn't see the whole game (going to watch it) but we head to Ireland above 500! GO 'CATS!!!

After all the talk about UNH needing to get tougher, more physical and just trhow pucks at the net, they get two goals solely due to small skilled players using finesse and skill, rather than brawn. Crookshank ambushes a careless defensive pass and scores, and then, Kelleher darts in to cause a turnover without hitting anyone, and converts that turnover to a pass to Crookshank. That's not even to mention super skilled Gildon's one-timer.

Notice #ChaseStevenson #15 skating hard to net front to redirect @Ryan_Verrier's wrist shot for 1st NCAA goal. #CoachSouza wants more: "We don't have enough guys who are willing to put the puck to the net." @UNHMHOCKEY @BCHLWarriors @BCHLSmokeEaters https://t.co/2KkJB9fgk2

Maybe instead of seeking "200 foot players" who go into dirty areas we focus on skilled players, and play to the rink, rather than change the rink to fit other players. If I never see another 6'1 or taller player at UNH I'll be OK.

On that, a 3 point night for 5'10 John Evans last night:

As a Bruins fan, I'd like to know, what did you guys think of John Beecher? How did he look this weekend?

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

Beecher looked particularly good Friday night. Very active with a lot of net front presence. Big enough to play physical and seemed to like it. Of course, UNH is not so big. Might not be as much fun when the other guys are just as large. 😁
