Re: UNH Hockey: Where Do We Go From Here....
Greg, I am with you on sitting close. Been on the first row, initially because that was all that was available, but just love it. Hence ATW! I watch every kid after every shift at my end as well as after every period and the game. You would be surprised how accurate a temperature you can take by looking at their faces and physical reactions. Currently I can say the far, near corner is out of my site lines, and certainly those of you up 8 - 15 rows can get a much different view of a breakout but love the action and up close. Perhap we could dig down in the 10 feet we will gain and add a row or 2. I know we don't need 600 more seats but the last thing we need is a 10 foot walkway on the glass.....aaaah!
As to the "proposed changes", i couldn't be less happy. It ain't the size of the sheet. It may deter a recruit or 2 but it brings in a recruit or 2. As for scoring, i did a look back last year over the last 20 years and Watcher and others are so right. I do take a different stance on the total why. Yes the top recruits have not landed here in large numbers recently but I watch the current group and honestly feel they are far more capable than the 90 or so goals they will total this year. Can't finish and no snipers is what we say. Hard to argue but I see a lot more talent and ability than i see scoring. Please could we coach these kids up a bit! This age group is so used to being given tons of feedback and we now hear, they don't need in game coaching. How does one who is in the middle of the fight look objectively on what just happened? Someone tells him what happened, why and perhaps how to avoid it. Waiting until Monday is too late! Sorry, but that is what i am seeing and i totally respect these coaches, just think they need to reevaluate what clearly isn't producing. This team had 110 goals it.
