Re: UNH Wildcats 2014 Post-Season Thread: "Maybe Dick" Hunts the Great White Whale
While I won't be attending the games this weekend (My friend and I have 4 kids under the age of 5 between us, and apparently babysitters aren't lining up to give up Friday nights) I am excited at the possibilities of the weekend. Any of these teams can win, and the mere fact that UNH has a realistic shot at the autobid is amazing when you think of where we were 3 weeks ago needing a come from behind win and a mini miracle (BU sweep) just to host a playoff game. The weekend in Durham showed UNH matched up well against Notre Dame, however they appear to be a different team now just over a month later. Providence and UML have been close games the past couple of years and a meeting with them could go either way (Slight edge to UML in a head to head but anything could happen).
The problem I fear will arise this weekend is Umile's (this is not an indictment of his coaching style just an observation) tendency to have the team back off and simply gain center ice, dump, change, and repeat to protect the lead. While I can understand his thinking (Inconsistent offense, stellar D at times) that keeping games low scoring is to his benefit that stats for the year show that they can't rely on that. To reference the weekly release in 21 wins 88 goals scored and just 34 allowed. In 17 losses 34 goals scored and 66 allowed. They get their best defense when they are attacking on offense. There is obviously more to it than that but trying to protect the lead is not the right course of action. Back to this weekend I fear that will be the downfall because it almost cost the team their season last week. Against Northeastern they shut it down with a big lead on Saturday and couldn't flip the switch back on. On Sunday they appeared to shut it down again in the second period and got fortunate their top line showed up to play.
At this point anything could happen this weekend, but ultimately I feel UNH will fall, and it will be a game in which they jump out to an early lead. Regardless of what happens I'm satisfied with the way the season has ended. While I felt they played below their potential at times they still suffered some injury problems that leads me to think they actually overachieved a little in the last few weeks.

So come one, come all between 2nd and 3rd period of game 1. Look forward to it
Just an FYI. The Sportsdeck is located on the "premium" level of the Garden. You will not have access to that level unless you have a club, box or Sportsdeck bar ticket. It has a separate entrance from the rest of the Garden and they do check tickets.

I'm in the club so that shouldn't be an issue. But if anyone can't make it to that spot should we find somewhere more accessible?

The Red Line does NOT go directly to North Station. Your son will want to get off at the Downtown Crossing Red Line station, and then walk upstairs to get the Orange Line northbound (trains will be marked "Oak Grove"). Three stops further from Downtown Crossing, and that's North Station, with the TD Garden a short walk upstairs.
Works the same getting off the Red Line at Park Street, then taking the Green Line north to North Station. But Park Street can be a bit confusing for anyone who hasn't been there before, AND the Green Line goes through Government Center on the way to North Station, so I'm not sure how that might play with timing, etc.
Hope this helps.

Re: UNH Wildcats 2014 Post-Season Thread: "Maybe Dick" Hunts the Great White Whale
Does anyone know if UNH is doing anything to get students to the game? Back in my day UNH gave the students a couple of sections at the Garden. I know due to recent history with the NCAA's the administration has done nothing (or very little) to support a student presence at the game. It is pathetic that UNH has had no substantial student representation when they have hosted the regionals at Manchester. In recent years, both BU and Lowell have taken better care of their students for games there. Lets hope there is a student section to make some noise!

According to a twitter post I got from someone they were saying "Thanks UNH for not getting a fan bus together for Boston". They were advertising for the train and the bus. So looks like that didn't happen... Heck Maine has a couple of busses I believe when they played PC..of course our "Beast of the East" band will be there. They did provide tickets, I think. Nate Leaman tweeted that 250 student tickets were picked up for the game on their side. Here's hoping we have a good showing of fans from the school plus outlying areas. And, our Defense, too Pucks to the net boys!!!

Umm, it has separate escalators . The tickets to the club are labeled as such.
every year I buy nose bleed section, and when entering garden go right for good seats, why because it never sells out

Not on the club level. That is the luxury box level. Your ticket gets checked twice to get there. The club level is not the lower bowl except for the seating higher up in the middle of the arena which is surrounded by a wall that is not accessible from the other lower bowl seating.

yes, I hope right over. From lower to upper

Ugh! I don't think we are talking about the same seats. But anyway, according to your name on this site, did you graduate in 1982? That's the year I graduated from UNH. If you did, do you really need to jump over barricades to get a good seat? You are over 50 now...
lol, good point , no don't make a habit of it, graduated in 87.
