    Re: UNH Wildcats 2019 Offseason - How Much Progress Did We Really Make This Past Seas

    Good call by Chuck on Flagship with no postseason cothes.

      Maybe a three goal lead IS the most dangerous lead to have in hockey after all?

      I'll admit, I didn't see UMass losing to #7 seed BC. I figured it would be NU in the Finals that got them.

      Coach York gave us all a timely reminder that postseason experience DOES count, after all. Coach Carvel also proved that lack of postseason experience matters, too. BC - a team that barely hung on to 7th place on the final weekend of the HE RS - played like they'd been there before, and made a 1-0 first period lead hold up, and did so without really ever looking overmatched. Woll was good, not great. On the other hand, UMass played most of the game like it was just another RS game. It looked like they felt it was theirs for the taking, like against UNH in Game One last weekend - until BC scored their second goal, and then they turned on the desperation. Much to their surprise, a team coached by someone with 5 NC's and well over a thousand W's didn't blink. Game over. And unless UMass learns there's another gear needed in the postseason, it's season over soon, too.

      Neither Woll nor Robinson (or Oettinger) made even HE honorable mention. They'll face tougher now.

      Coach York's right-hand man is soaking in all of the experience, possibly for our benefit someday.

      Was it so unreasonable to expect UNH to have held on for a Game One win last Friday after all?

        Correct. We'll see. I'm not as impressed as everyone else seems to be (let's see if they prove me wrong).

        No, it wasn't. But I really think the timing of Nazarian's injury threw them off just enough also. The difference is BC had the experience to finish the deal. UNH didn't. As I said last weekend, if they don't give up that goal in the last minute of the second period, they win the game, extend the series and make a dent in Flagship's confidence.

          One wonders if losing Game One to UNH may even have been to UMass' benefit as a wake-up call?

          God knows, we've seen lots of talented UNH teams come up short this way in the past.

          You either learn from it, or you keep making the same mistakes over and over.

          We'll see which way it goes for UMass, this season and beyond ...

                No, it wasn't 'unreasonable' to expect UNH to have been able to hold on to win Game One. I mean, gee if you have a 3 goal lead...but, that just wasn't in the cards. Was it unreasonable to expect the Leafs to beat the Bruins that year when they had them on the ropes (can't be bothered to even look it up). No matter now, all water over the proverbial dam (n). BC put on a 'here's what you need to do to win tonight' and their more experienced talent ran with it. Meanwhile... UNH learns some lessons about being resilient, and, gets the young team they had something to build on for next season. Are we done with this?

                Ps....are you referring to Mike Ayers as York's 'right hand man' and that he (if that is indeed him you are referring to) will be a future UNH HC?

                  He is and if you scroll the BC thread, they'd like him to be available. At least they did before last night.
                  I will not be out cheered in my own building.

                    Mike Ayers is not coming to UNH

                    Here is a list of Souza, Stewart Or Jeff G recruits thus far since Souza came back to UNH

                    Verrier
                    Mackinnon
                    Crookshank
                    Gildon
                    Pierson
                    Engaras
                    Macadams
                    Wyse
                    Maass
                    Taylor
                    J Sacco
                    Sato
                    2 + non scholarship athletes

                    Sweeney
                    TBA's

                    Jones
                    Curran

                    TBA's

                    We lost multiple recruits to Mike Souza when he was the recruiter for UConn. Most of you know the stars 4 years ago at UConn would have come to UNH if Souza was not their recruiter.

                    Stop the nonsense

                    Recruiting has been very good over the past 3 + years

                      The real question is; could BC take out UMASS in a best of three? Maybe. Maybe not. UMASS is in uncharted waters and that showed last night. They could be a one and done in the NCAA's too!

                          BC lost all of their OOC games this season, including to Bentley at Conte. So, I think that this story is less about BC, and more about Minutewagon not being able to win the big games, other than their comeback win against our Cats. Of course, that was not really a big game, as they had two more chances no matter.

                            Agree. Minutewagon more like a push(over)cart than a wagon!

                              Good point, 32. So, MS7 will not be coaching a team with all of his own recruits until the 2021-2022 season?
