UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

[Chuck Murray]

And to elaborate, Rookie of the Weak was part of a spin on Milk Carton Missing Kids by a BC pinhead poster whose screen name was something like BobF, IIRC. Maybe Nick P will clarify.

Not 100% sure, but I think it was SteveF (or FSteve as some of those he annoyed lovingly referred to him). Sadly, I believe SteveF has passed. Nick will sort this out once he gets here later this week, what with the big UNH-BC clash just over the horizon now. Back in the day, the week before these games was must-read USCHO time. And I know this fact will bend some minds on here, but well into the Umile Era, UNH actually held an overall winning record over BC. Debates often tended to gravitate towards which program had the worst post-season record. UNH actually beat BC in postseason games back in the mid-'90's, until Coach York built BC into the dominant program that enjoyed its peak years after the turn of the century. But even into the early part of those years, I believe UNH still had a (very narrow) lead in the overall series with BC. I haven't looked it up recently, but I'm guessing it's now at least a +20 for BC in that series.

It was good to see the team respond to the timeout, but a lot too late. This team is not good enough to go down 4-1 and comeback.

This team needs to play basic hockey. Make good passes, break out of the zone and control the puck. When they did this later in the game they had sustained pressure that resulted in a ton of A+ changes, just had some bad puck luck and did not get the bounces.

They can't be curling around the net and trying to make moves out front, which was the demise of this game when Oliver did that. Also our D is slow, the 2 on 1's given up last night were plentiful and this hung Whale out to dry. None of the goals were his fault and I believe the switch was a team message not an indication on his play.

And probably the most infuriating thing of the night was the NU student section who were in the lower section just off of the UNH bench and stood the entire game. That meant anyone in two sections behind the bench could not see half the zone. I get Walter Brown is a dump and small but there were plenty of sections 100% open where they could have stood and not blocked everyone's view. At least tickets were free

I wondered where you went! Agree on all points...when the dog house was chanting 'let's go huskies' we were chanting 'homeless Huskies'
