Re: 2011-2012 UNH Wildcats
Why not? While the record didn't show it in the second half, the effort was always there. Talent wise UNH is what they are, a far cry from teams of old. But they have been giving a good defensive effort ever since DeSmith went into goal. They have been in pretty much every game since the first of the year and, although you could be surprised that they won, you shouldn't be surprised that they gave a good effort. Not sure you are going to agree with this Bill but a long time BU fan that I know told me last night that Umile is a better coach than Parker now, that he gets more out of his players than Jack does.

Nice to see WMUR's outstanding coverage of the game. At least they got the final score correct. Would have been nice to see a replay of the UNH game winner in double overtime. Must be it would have forced them to skip the clip from the Maine game.

Re: 2011-2012 UNH Wildcats
I would agree with tlhat. BUs title run 3 years ago was way tighter than it should have been with that talent.
I'd say this has been the case since the late 90's.
The problem is UNH isn't getting the talent anymore. That is Umile's job too.

A satisfying W for the CATS for sure but I can think of two bigger wins over BU right off the top of my head; 1) The 4-3 OT win at the NCAA East Regional in Albany in 98' and 2) The win in '03 for the Hockey East Championship.

Re: 2011-2012 UNH Wildcats
And what about 2 of their last 4 games at the NCAAs in Manchester, against UND 3 years ago, and Miami last year? They were pretty good wins -- and the UND game will be forever memorable. (We can forget the other 2 games -- against BU and Notre Dame.)

Oops. My bad. (Well, at least I had one of the letters ("U") right in my post.) Sorry, Bill.

Re: 2011-2012 UNH Wildcats
The Moses goal was a thing of beauty the entire transition up the ice. Hopefully Moses nets his 100th career point during Sunday's game.
No matter what happens on Sunday it is fun to see how the team has progressed towards the end of the season. Regardless of wins or losses down the stretch the quality of play and level of intensity throughout a full 60 minutes is completely different than it was over the first half of the season. Continue this level of play and have a few players become more confident goal finishers and I could see this team as legitimate contenders in HE next year.

Moses's goal made it on Sportscenter's Top Ten Plays (#10), which ESPN has been airing this morning.

Between the lines:
~ Casey DeSmith looked a half-second slower than usual during warmups. Didn't play his best game.
~ Grayson Downing was still on the third line with Block (center) and Willows (RW) but he was reunited with Burke and Henrion a couple of times on the power play.
~ In the third period, Jeff Silengo was knocked down hard in the neutral zone. He got up in obvious pain and appeared to be favoring his shoulder.
~ Casey Thrush, who had been a regular on the Block-Willows line and had played in 30 regular season games, hasn't yet played in the playoffs.
~ Stevie Moses' snipe: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfG_VepxE1M

Hope that the entire play was shown, as I think that it was the passing of Kipp and especially Goumas that made the play. Of course, I am pleased that Moses finished the play, as it had been a while.

Re: 2011-2012 UNH Wildcatsg
looking forward to making my first trip donw to Agganis for game 3 tonight, and hopefully to be making the trip back down to Boston next Friday after a win tonight. Thinking might see Thrush back in the line up to give a little burst of speed and Downing back in the 2nd line. Hoping the boys but in a great effort and play the game of the year
