Re: 2009-2010 UNH Wildcats Season
Positive side of this game was the top three lines were generating opportunities. We have good team speed except for Burke. I would give theses current lines some time to gel. Let’s give Moses some time. I thought the Borisenok, /Thompson/ McCarey looked good….out the own zone fast…down the ice and had many good opportunities.
Downside…… defenseman…..none of them can handle the puck cleanly. .On the power play when the puck goes out to the point their missing it….bobbling it…. Our power play in general was not good. Having defenseman who effective handle the puck can have a big impact on generating offense ( outlet passes, feeds in tight etc.). Some of the defensive coverage broke down . Beck is just scary out. Also, our forwards have a tendency to “dance” around the offensive zone looking for the prefect play. We need to shoot the puck..get are rebound.
However, I think this team has great potential…..thier young and will learn fast…

Re: 2009-2010 UNH Wildcats Season
Sounds like my biggest concerns are coming true. Against Arcadia UNH hit and went to the front of the net, manufacturing goals. They worked hard in the o-zone, they didn't dance with it they moved it to the front and cashed in on rebounds. Note no coaches at practice until the morning of the game, based on NCAA rules.
From these descriptions, one week of practices with the coaches and we are back to soft hockey with a team that will only win on grit.
For me line I would put the line together as:
Butler - LeBlanc - Henrion
Sislo - Disimmone - Burke
(these two lines should look familiar)
Moses - Boresnik - Block
McCarey - Tompson - Whoever is playing well.
Don't worry about the line numbers. Play them all basically equal time. Ask them all to go to the net and hit (except the little guys they should go to the net and fly). If things don't go well juggle, don't about the rest until January. Young team teach them to work really hard and manufacture goals the rest will take care of itself.
Just me.

Re: 2009-2010 UNH Wildcats Season
This is not true. NCAA rules limit the length of time coaches get on the ice with players prior to the season(Oct. 3 this year) on a weekly basis. During the preseason, coaches get a certain number of hours to spend with the time in a given week. Almost every practice I watched in the two weeks leading up to Acadia, coaches were on the ice.

Re: 2009-2010 UNH Wildcats Season
From Foster's
UNH will host Acadia in an exhibition game Saturday night, the first official day of practice. The Wildcats have been engaging in captains' practices for the past three weeks.
Umile also said the coaches were only involved for 45 minutes on 3 days the week before but only for streching and observation no instruction or something like that. I don't know the exact rules but it was very limited coaching involvement - essentially none.

Re: 2009-2010 UNH Wildcats Season
Agreed.
My father heard Umile talk about what the coaches were allowed for involvement prior to the first offical practice. The allowed contact was very limited, he didn't remember all the restrictions discussed. I was told the rules allowed upto an hour but they were holding to 45 minutes. My extrememly filtered information sounded like observing.

Re: 2009-2010 UNH Wildcats Season
I was kinda wondering the same thing. I was curious as to redhawkman10's response to my post disproving his theory that a slow start would doom a team to completely missing the NCAAs. Apparently it was to delete his thread. He's a quick one, indeed.
What happened to the UNH hosts Miami thread? Cannot seem to find it, was it removed?? Couldn't get enough of that one!

Re: 2009-2010 UNH Wildcats Season
I've been on this board how long and didn't realize you could do that!
Anyway, he misunderstood and misquoted me. Do I want UNH to lose both games, no. Is it a good sign if they lose both games, no. However, do two losses in October doom your season, by no means. UNH has their hands full this weekend for sure, but I do think we will learn alot about this year's team by the end of Saturday night. Either way, sweep or swept, I will not get overly excited at this point in the season.

Any word on Kessel's status? Is Moses going to be in the lineup this weekend?

Moses will be back on the first line with Leblanc and Butler.
Kessel has been practicing this week and should be back as well.

Re: 2009-2010 UNH Wildcats Season
Good luck tonight, guys. Should be a good series. I'm hoping for a split. I know Miami fans and players have a lot of respect for your program's tradition and success. If you haven't noticed, we haven't had much success against Hockey East teams of late so I don't expect this to be any different.
I'll be posting my take on the series at a new blog some beer league buddies of mine and I started earlier this week at http://jacketsrequired.blogspot.com. We're also getting our Twitter feed started - @jacketsrequired - but not much there just yet.
The blog will focus on the Blue Jackets but I'm sort of the college hockey correspondent. I'll have a lot to say during the season, I'm sure.

Re: 2009-2010 UNH Wildcats Season
Well, I actually saw it during the exhibition game. Most of those goals were either through a screen, off a tip or a rebound. I was pleasantly surprised.
It sounds like they did none of the above last weekend.
