Yes, I noticed that too. The online box scores were wrong. There was a potential goal under review but the puck didn’t cross the line. Anyways 2-0 now end of 1st for you guys.

That makes sense. Appreciate the update! Game must have quickly moved on without a chance to delete the goal.

Apparently it is just, 1-0. Per UNH twitter, the Nazarian goal was the first of the game. Live stats had a UML goal from Ryan Lohin entered around 4 minutes into the game. That goal remained in the stat program past Nazarian's goal at the nine minute mark or so, but it has since been deleted...??

That is a strange mistake to make mid-game - it involves a lot of specific typing steps - and then leave up for ten minutes of real time...

Goalie interference on the no goal, which should have been obvious even to UML homeboy fans, but the refs reviewed it anyway.

Wyse 5-minute major for hitting from behind will carry over for 3+ minutes into second period. But, UNH scored 4-4 to go up 2-0, as UML player was serving 2-minute minor for roughing following the UNH major.

Both teams playing solid D, with 5 SOG each.

UNH 2-0 after one. Wildcats have scored nine goals on 58 shots versus Tyler Wall in the last 2.33 games head to head. An .845 save-percentage and a 3.86 goals against average...

In the meantime, they managed just one goal on 20 shots against UML's other goalie Hernberg.

Prior to this stretch, as a FR, Wall beat UNH four times in five chances allowing just eight goals on 114 shots for a .930 save percentage.

Robinson makes six saves over the first three minutes of the second period as the Wildcats kill off the remaining time on the major...
 
Re: UNH 2018-19: Souza The Opportunity

Lowell outshoots UNH 15-1 in the second period, now 20-6 for the game, but the score remains 2-0 UNH...
 
Wow, two extra-attacker goals 20 seconds apart pull UML even late. Shots are 14-3 in the third, 29-4 (!!) over the final two periods and 34-9 for the game. All in favor of the Riverhawks. Tied at 2 and heading to OT...

Also of note, Blackburn did not dress tonight.

The Blackburn and Engaras situations warrant questioning ... assuming of course, anyone even bothers to cover UNH Hockey these days? For those few who still do ... get out there, do your job(s), ask inquisitive questions, and pay no attention to the little guy in the back giving you the hairy eyeball. :eek: It's not like he's going to give away your press pass to someone else waiting for it. Like the season ticket waiting list, sadly that's another relic of the past. So get in there and get the job done.

It will be interesting to see if Souza rides with Robinson, or if Taylor gets a reprieve after the last disaster. That could give us all an interesting clue if Souza's going to stray from the "Umile Way", 'cuz you know darned well that if DU was making the call, it would be Robinson for sure.

Absolutely and Mike Robinson named number 2 star...

Well deserved number 2 star for Robinson; he had no chance at either of those EAG's. I would be really surprised if he is not in net again tomorrow night. Despite the pitifully low number of SOG for UNH, I thought that the team played well at both ends of the ice the entire night. I really liked what I saw, except the excessive number of penalties, although those should make the anti-SMT fans happy. Souza skated all four lines into the OT, and rotated all three D pairs until Wyse got tossed, after which Dawson did not see as much ice time. Nevertheless, good to see Dawson in the game. Good effort and hustle by all of the freshmen. Would like to see our first three-point weekend in almost a year tomorrow night.

Looked for ya around the Tsongas but didnt see you! I agree with your sentiments...and would love to beat those Bullldogs I mean Terriers tomorrow night 😉.

Right now...I can’t see Souza playing Taylor tomorrow (nothing personal)....but I hope to see him soon! We’ve gotta put up more than 10 SOG’s and a lot less time on the PK (and kudos to the ‘Cats for a great job killing all those penalties!)

Let’s go ‘Cats!!

My fault for not wandering around like Tirone between periods, although I did cruise the perimeter before the kids tried to sing the anthem (cute). If I knew how to CYP (correct your post) on iPhone, I would write chihuahuas to replace bull dogs (yap, yap, yap).

Chuck, how do you suggest we shake down the Cats brain trust for answers on Engaras and Blackburn? Try busting into the Cats locker room during warm ups? Yell through the glass behind the Cats bench? Send Souza a text message? Stand behind Robinson's net with a placard reading in large letters "Wherrrrrre's Blackburn?"

Do you think MS should have called a timeout after the first EAG?
 
Re: UNH 2018-19: Souza The Opportunity

One of the best games we've played in the past few years which is weird to say when we had only 9 SOG through regulation, but it felt like we had it under control. Solid PK. Obviously. The first UML goal was a thing of EA beauty. Robinson might want the 2nd back. He played a great game, should get the start tonight unless a weekend rotation is pre-determined. Overall team defense was solid, frustrating UML. I missed them if they showed replays, but our goals appeared to be nice snipes.

We responded well after the 2nd UML goal and in OT. Coach was obviously coaching after the 2nd goal. Not overly animated, but clearly motivating the team. As Snively noted, everyone skated at any time. Sacco on the PK, for instance.

The national anthem sung by the elementary school kids was fantastic, the crowd loved it. The upside to so many penalties is getting to hear the UML band's version of "Hit the Road, Jack". The Tsongas atmosphere is enjoyable. The fans and especially the students are into it, although there is an element of special needs crack heads in the stands. Love the Fred C. Church chant. "INSURANCE!"

I always enjoy going to the Tsongas...it's a nice arena, good amenities, easy to get to. I agree; thought we played with a lot of intensity for the most part and it seemed sustained throughout. Bummed we couldn't take it home but will take the HE point. BU...going to be an interesting match up. Hopefully the 'Cats can take advantage of their recent struggles. Our goals last night were great! Right in the slot. We had that open much of the night...but so did UML and they fanned fortunately on a few good scoring opps. I thought the ice seemed soft last night...just an observation?

There's good hustle out there; keep it up 'Cats!! Beat BU!

Ps...special needs crack heads in the stands...priceless.

Pss..Coach Souza talks about the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-hSKu4BAM8

….you stole my idea!!! :DSeriously...well, no one knows (or they aren't sayin') what's going on with these two players not being in the line up. This is stuff the ave fan is not privy to. You have to wonder tho, and, hey I'm all for the best players playing and if that means others sit, so be it. Still...can't help but wonder what's happened to LB as he's been a positive in the lineup. I don't want to undermine any other player; but I am curious. On another note, we've been clamoring for ice time for the younger crowd if they deserve it, so.....let's go 'Cats!!
