Re: New Hampshire at Vermont : 69ing since 1789
I certainly do not condone cheers like F-UNH, they are unoriginal, uncreative, and just stupid really. I also do not think they need to be the focus of the hockey thread after a 2-2 game that was a pretty exciting game to watch. A pretty high tempo game that saw both goalies really playing well.
Kudos to UNH and DiGi, he made some outstanding saves and was rock solid in net. Mackenzie's shot that he managed to get back across in time to save was huge for UNH.
I really liked the hustle out of UVM tonight, that were skating hard for the most part. And the Frosh line is without a doubt the best line out there for UVM in terms of energy and scoring chances. They need to start putting the puck in the net more though... I think White is the only one really looking to score with HT and Brickley more looking to wreak havoc. We need Brickely to start playing more skill type hockey. Outside of that definitely that line as well as Stalberg's line looked good.
Two negatives, Stalberg skates and passes too much. He needs to start firing some pucks and stop looking for McCarthy. Stalberg shoots but really it's only when he has no other options. Second neg, is the points on the PP, for christ sakes you can hold the puck sometimes. You don't have to pass as soon as it the puck hits your tape. There was one play last night and I forget who was who but pointman 1 was being hounded by a UNH guy and slid it over to PM2, who promptly returned it back to PM1 who still had a UNH guy all over him. It resulted in being knocked out of the zone. The PP is trying to pass too much, you don't always have to pass, skating a step or two can often up some lanes.
Outside of that great game of hockey to watch.
