Re: New Hampshire vs. Boston College - March 5/6
Overachieving? Take a look at our goal differential. Based on our pythagorean expectation, we're underachieving a TON.
What's that? I'm sorry, the glare from this picture I had open in another window prevented me from reading that.
The difference between UNH and BC is that had it been BC, we wouldn't be hanging our hats on a regular season trophy when we had just played 105 minutes of **** hockey in one weekend.
Your responses show how little you actually comprehend of what you're reading; you're twisting everything to fit your desires.
What CbG was saying is that UNH OVERACHIEVED, and so if us Wildcat fans are pleased, and excited about that, it's because we didn't expect it this year. After watching the team start 2-6-2, it was an accomplishment, and overachieving.
What you don't hear us saying is, "We're going all the way this year." The expectations of most UNH fans is that we'll be lucky to make the Saturday game in Boston, and if we win one game at regionals we'll be pretty pleased. The expectations are not as high as years past, so winning the regular season championship IS a big deal this year.
And despite the fact that you won the season series, by all rights it probalby should have been 3-0 BC. Am I thrilled about the way UNH played in the three games? OF COURSE NOT. But if I'm a BC fan, I'm at least a bit concerned about the inability to close out the two games at the Whit -- it's very unlike a Jerry York team. Rover put it quite well; I wouldn't be blowing my own horn too loudly for a 3-2 victory over UNH. If you outplayed us so well, why wasn't the score more lopsided? Yeah, Foster played great when the rest of the team didn't, but last time I checked hockey is a team sport, and you don't get extra goals just for outskating everybody, you have to earn them.
If nothing else, it will be a very fun thread to read if UNH and BC make it to the title game (I'll be very surprised, and, holy crap, pleased, if UNH does).
