UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

Well! What a change a week makes. Maybe it’s the jerseys, and if so - they should never take those jerseys off ever again.

Strong forecheck at the point of attack, actual life on the PP - is this the same team?

Gotta keep it up for the last 40 minutes. Let’s go!
 
Well I did not have that game on my Bingo card!

First off, I’m a big fan of the semi throw back uniforms - I think they wore these once last year in an exhibition game, I think they should wear them more and also I think there would be many interested in purchasing them (make a few extra bucks for the program - never a bad thing).

Now UNH certainly didn’t play a perfect game, but they came out hot, had a decent idea on the PP, and were aggressive throughout. They did hit a bit of a lull there in the 2nd and BU almost tied it with a few crossbars. Still… they found a way. Big shoutout to Lavins who showed signs of being in pain but fought through it and got rewarded with the ENG. I pray he returns next year and gets to wear the “C”. He has certainly earned it, and perhaps it would help convince some guys on the fence to stay as well.

They showed a graphic that, outside of the win vs. Maine a few weeks back, BU really has been struggling. Let’s keep the foot on the gas pedal tomorrow and bring home a weekend sweep.

With UMLs win tonight, we are still in the basement, but are only 3 points behind the 7th place team (tie between Maine and NU). We can make up some serious ground with a win tomorrow, and 5/6th is only another 3 points away…

Hoping this is the spark they need to finish strong. Tomorrow night looms large, but I’m feeling much more confident after tonight, I imagine the boys are as well!

Also, kudos to Chuck for the win prediction earlier this week. Hopefully it’s not just one, but two wins this weekend!

Agree with your thoughts Snively. I’d like to see what UNHs record is when they are behind/don’t score first. I imagine it is not pretty. Given the lack of scoring, I think they really psych themselves out when they go down, knowing that going down by any more than 1 goal is pretty much an insurmountable lead to overcome. I think this is partially to explain why things unraveled so quickly last weekend against PC.

Again… I would pin that mostly on coaching, as keeping composure is part of the job. I haven’t seen much of that lately, but perhaps that is also part of the “new look” we may see tonight.

Scoring first helps keep them in the game, at least for a little while (like PC last weekend). Hopefully they can get on the board first tonight and hold the lead throughout!

Well, at least we scored first so that part of my post held up. And happy to be taken out to the woodshed by the team for the rest of the negativity in my post. A sweep this weekend would do wonders for improving my outlook for this season.
