Re: UNH @ RPI, Saturday 10/26/13
Wicked-from what i saw on TV in the game televised-UNH is not a big team at all-but they are a fast team. Not sure how that will play against or for us. The announcer mentioned they have 2 NHL draft choices on the team-I would think that is less than they usually have but not totally sure. I have to echo what Dropkick said-it seemed obfvious that a high speed up tempo game favored UNH against Michigan and faceoff wins were indeed very important in the flow for them.
OK - Good info. I would note that the keeper's ability to move the puck hinges on how much pressure the opponent is applying around the net ...its not as simple as choosing to do it or not do it. In any event, no doubt UNH is a stacked squad...looking forward to seeing them in our barn...and hopefully beating them!
