Re: UNH Hockey: Treading Water or Trending Upward
I'd agree. Need a much better start and the undisciplined penalties...4 penalties in the 1st period (if I have that right). Good thing they did something in the 3rd. Where's the UNH we saw beat NU, UMass? That's the team that needs to show up tonight, and beyond. Go 'Cats!!
Ps...sometimes a team plays down to their competition (this is common). The results in the 3rd speak to the fact the 'Cats did what they had to do. Key thing tonight is to come out that way and put them away early...can't let them hang around. Anyway...it was a wild night I'm sure at the 'Whit with the power outage. We'll be there tonight.

I need to know who "Vanilla Soft Serve" is?
I think I know, but I'd like to be certain.
Then I can pile on with some degree of clarity.

Re: UNH Hockey: Treading Water or Trending Upward
Well there is only one defenseman that took a pointless interference penalty 8 seconds into a powerplant... That would be "Vanilla Soft Serve". He also has a habit of being soft in his own end...
From an earlier post of mine. Apologies on the UConn @ Maine notes... I was off a week that is next weekend we hold our noises and be Maine fans... Actually I think what is best for UNH is Maine and UMass win out and BC wins everything BUT our games... Although every body else splitting everything thing and UNH playing 3 games over .500 works really well too

Well...you do make a point there. We've been down this road since his arrival. The talent is obvious just wish the gaffes were not so potentially costly...but, no one beats his skating ability and his work on the PP. We'll miss it when he's gone. hey snives, are you going to be at the 'Whitt tonight? I hear the power's back on

I think VSS is headed the wrong direction right now.
Right now, I don't agree he is the best player on the ice. He may still be the most talented BUT the soft D play and inconsistency is problematic. The 2nd UVM goal would have been avoid if he had simply passed behind the net to a wide open and waiting partner.
Last night the 2nd PP looked better most of the night getting in zone etc. Yes VSS had an assist on Grasso's goal and that was a bad pass that Grasso couldn't one time. The goal was a result of Grasso's efforts to settle the puck, a nice shot and the two UNH players that didn't get points fighting to screen the goalie.
Typically VSS gets in trouble when,
1) doing to much = UVM 2nd goal
2) just undisciplined play - unnecessary interference play
3) soft D zone play/coverage also UVM goal 2 and more obviously a super poor 2-1 against UConn last week
All fixable with some focus and determination. Maybe he is so talented he is bored... I doubt it... More likely he is a talented player still growing. AND he has been so talented offensively that nobody has / is really pushing him to develop in the D zone.

Based on Souza' post-game presser from last night, it sounds like he's sticking with Robinson.
