Re: 2011-2012 UNH Wildcats
So Wildshawn and WIrinkrat, you're telling me that you guys don't look forward to 5pm on Friday....our society doesn't look "to put a little weekend in your week".....I'm not saying that life would be better if we didn't all live our life to the fullest 24/7, but grow up...you guys might take a mental health day now and again from work so if the team had a poor night's performance, it doesn't demand an *** whipping, that's all.....no athlete plays every minute of his long schedule at max level, human's just don't do that.....how come we expect more from college kids then we do from our Washington representatives....what kind of a rating would you give the "Super Committee"? They're college athletes so to bad you can't fine them for not performing up to their paid expectations.....

As always a great write up, love reading the history of UAH, Hopefully all UNH fans will show them respect and give them a nice hand for what they have to fight through this season

Re: 2011-2012 UNH Wildcats
Grow up, eh? Perhaps the guy introducing personal insults isn't the one that should be climbing on his high horse.
I'm not sure what politics has to do with a hockey game. Whatever thoughts I have about politics have nothing to do with whether a hockey team should be expected to be focused during a hockey game. That is beyond a stupid and irrelevant comparison. If everyone thought the way you did, nothing would ever get done because everyone would always have a built in excuse for everything.
Here's a thought. Let's go see Umile and the team and you can spout off every lame losers mentality excuse you want to justify their poor performance at Harvard and we will see if a single one of them wants one iota of what you're giving them. They won't. Because they are athletes and expect more of themselves and know that what they gave on Tuesday was not acceptable or excusable. Elite athletes don't think like losers, even if they might perform like a loser from time to time. Doesn't mean they want or deserve excuses.

Re: 2011-2012 UNH Wildcats
and btw, if you can point me to the "*** whipping" that either one of us gave, it would be greatly appreciated. If you think anything that either of us said is even close to the real paint blistering ear splitting *** whipping they got from Umile after the game, then you might want to hold on to your purse a little tighter.

Re: 2011-2012 UNH Wildcats
I agree with Dan, when your goalie gets lit up for five, you pull him, to save him further embarrassment, to send a message to the team, and to give your back up goalie some minutes.
Having a couple of Sierra Nevada Celebration Ales at Libby's in prep for A-H game tonight. Nice write up on A-H, C-H-C. Go Cats!

Re: 2011-2012 UNH Wildcats
I have not been to a game at UNH in years, but I'm thinking of coming up for the BU game on Thrus Dec 8th.
Any advise on where the students sit? Visiting fan secitons? Good place for the standard pre-game beer?

Re: 2011-2012 UNH Wildcats
Students are in the non-chairback sections behind the BU goaltender during the 1st and 3rd (Sections 121-124) and depending on how many student tickets are offered/how many show to the game itself they occasionally overflow into empty seats/rows in Sections 109-111. The visiting section is typically the upper rows of Section 112.

Libby's near corner of Madbury and Main Streets had Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale on tap last weekend.

No one even cares anymore, eh?
I didn't think the game was that bad last night, and if not for Digi not being able to control rebounds (all three goals were banged in rebounds, good hard work by UML), they win that game last night, and pick up the sweep at home tonight.
It was fun seeing that place banged out (allegedly sold out at 6800+), good atmosphere and a great arena to watch a game...

Re: 2011-2012 UNH Wildcats
Last night's game did a great job of setting up periods 7-9. In both ends of the rink, I'd like to see the boys do a lot more of one thing - loiter at the crease. At least the first 2 Lowell goals game from rebounds and an unguarded skater. No one there to block the shooter, or at lease clear the puck.
Offensively, I lost track of how many times the setup pass went right by the front of the net with the goalie a half a moment behind in reaction. Again, nobody at the crease.
I like the aggression that's being shown (sometimes), but they gotta figure out how to put a leash on it. This isn't the first game I've seen where they enter the second period from behind and waste the 20 minutes sitting in the waiting room. I suspect tonight will not be the night they figure that out, given the brawls we saw last night. This should be a good, scrappy, intense game.
Furthermore, you can't cruise by to start, be reckless in the middle, scramble in the end and expect good things to automatically go your way. This is a hockey game, not a UNH undergrad course.

Forwards:
Speelman is missed, I hope he can make a full recovery sooner than expected.
I'd like to see Thrush with McCarey and Borisenok again. Played as the third line perhaps?
Sorkin and Moses should not be broken up (as they were for Harvard) - they are working well together.
Defense:
I am not a fan of players redshirting for reasons other than injuries. I hope this doesn't become a trend.
TVR and Hardowa are the best pairing IMO.
Goaltending:
In June 2010 many were concerned with the goaltending situation for the upcoming season, Digi had only 4-5 (?) starts and limited playing time otherwise.
How is everyone going to feel in June 2012? Wyer has 1 start, and 2 other short appearances? Of course, he hasn't looked as shakey as Digi did at times prior, but let's be real here... Wyer needs more time under his belt before taking over. When will Umile allow it? Brown?
Team:
Big game tonight, as they all are going forward.
Lately, they've had trouble putting together a full 60 minute effort.

Re: 2011-2012 UNH Wildcats
How bad are Wyer and DeSmith if they're not getting any starts? I really hate to single out any one player since they are still young, especially on the blue line, but, Digiorlamo has been just plain bad. I guess if the Harvard debacle doesn't bring change, nothing will. Frustrating.

Re: 2011-2012 UNH Wildcats
All those new coaches in Hockey East are a breath of fresh air. Whether it is changing a tired goalie for a game or two, or changing coaching staffs, or even changing the atmosphere on the players bench .... anyone else notice that the Lowell players were animated and standing for the entire game while the UNH players sat throughout the game and reflected the moribund atmosphere radiating from just in back of them?
Change can be a good thing .... although I am sure the apologists will be unsettled by this post ..............
