Do you think UM even prepared for the U-18 team?
Or do you think they used it as a practice mid week and have spent the week on UNH?
Just curious, if it were me I would focus on the game the counted and let the U-18 game just happen, play younger guys in need of ice time, play with line combos, try some stuff on the PP and PK to see how pairs worked etc.
Little bit of both. For sure, there were guys playing that we don't normally see. But they probably took the game seriously enough.
Rust left the BGSU game with an injury. He was on the radio broadcast Tuesday and said he could have played against the NTDP, but they held him out for precautionary reasons. Should be good to go against UNH.Now that this is UM's next game, a short update- Matt Rust didn't play in the game against the U18 team. Still have not heard why, or if he will be playing this weekend.
Has anyone tried the UNH video stream? Good/Bad? Is it worth the $8 for the hockey game?
As far as college video streams go, it's average. Just one camera and they use the audio from the UNH radio broadcast but some video is better than no video.
I watched the exhibition a few weeks ago and while the quality was not great, it never cut out or anything.George, I know in the last two yrs, Richard (Snively) has had it (the season pass) and said it is pretty unreliable and low quality. I have no idea if it is improved for this season, but I would be wary of paying for it until I had a better review of it. If you don't care whether or not you get quality for the 8 bucks, go ahead and get it. If you do, don't. I'll be camping this weekend and will miss the game, but will be back on Sunday and hopefully can get time to listen to the archived game.
I'm pretty sure the New England Center is closed.
No expectations for this season, but I'm optimistic that we'll have an exciting team to follow in Durham.
Couple of pix from Thompson's 3rd period tying power play goal... extra sweet that Burlon got in the frame with the puck in the net after he taunted the crowd (popped the jersey) after his 3rd period goal, and winked at the linesman on the faceoff just before that goal![]()
