UNH- How Far West Do We Go?
- Thread starter norbert
- Start date
If the season ended today, they would travel to NU and who knows where the game would be. If you jump a spot, you then travel to Maine. I don't expect a run, but I would take the trip to Boston over Maine to see if they can win the make believe playoff game.
With the two games in hand (I know Chuck, they only matter if you win) any sort of end of the season streak you can jump Lowell and head to Andover, which has been a house of horrors.
It will be interesting to see how they come out tonight. Are they flat? Is there a 5 minutes surge at the start which results in giving up a goal and deflation or do we play like we did against BU?
Hopefully a full roster tonight though that means both Lavin's and LeClerc playing hurt. Should know how this will go by 7:08

Wasnt it someone on here who coined the “Champions of October (or December)” phrase? That has been the theme for this team even going back to the Umile days. Everything goes great up until the winter break, then when they return and HEA schedule starts in earnest, they fall flat - almost every single year… Except it has really become apparent in the last 5-6 years under Souza.
Maybe they should try and schedule as many conference games as possible before the break, although I don’t know if that is up to them or HockeyEast… build up a nice reservoir of points before the almost inevitable “January Swoon”.
It’s almost like they come into every year with a decent game plan and catch teams (even good ones, occasionally) off guard. Then, once the tape is out on UNH and other teams better get their footing, UNH can never make the necessary adjustments to compensate…
Something has got to give soon. Maybe it’s just me, but it seems there’s something a bit “different” this year with how others (maybe even some in power) are viewing the current debacle.
We will probably find out one way sooner or later.
Onto tonight… as others have said, I agree we will probably have a good sense of how this game will go in the first 4-5 minutes. With another loss tonight, I really don’t see any more points this year, as everyone is gonna be playing their A game to finalize their spot in the standings, and all 3 of our opponents will be vying for NPI positioning for an at large bid should they falter in the HE playoffs
