UNH Wildcats 2018-2019: Souza the Opportunity or Louza the Opportunity

Northeastern is 4-6-0 in their last ten and struggling a bit heading into the Beanpot Championship on Monday. Lowell is 8-0-1 in their last nine, prior to tonight's contest with UMass...
Feels like we did 2 periods worth of skating that period, and for ALL the wrong reasons. Souza better light them up this intermission.
Two of our three penalties had to be taken by our D-men when they got beat and let their opponent go in alone on net. UNH D-men really slow to the puck tonight, I think.
Oh, I know. But, if we need to dig it up anyway to fix the chilling pipes, might as well narrow the width.
And, I realize that we are lucky to be not playing in the Gutt for home games; what a dump. And, $34 for a bench seat.
Meanwhile, UNH notched no SOG in a minute of 5-3 PP; pathetic.

The 5 on 3 was putrid. Stretch pass when you’ve got a two man advantage?
This is hideous.

Yeah I get that...
The stretch pass created the lone chance of the PP - an in alone situation. Hard to argue with that. The rest of the PP was especially putrid - no argument there - beginning with Blackburn nearly tossing it into his own net on the delayed penalty...
Third goal was shaky - but otherwise Robinson has been very good tonight. Closing in on 30 saves already - following a great performance last night. Not his fault by any means tonight and I'd imagine UNH sticks with him...
That said, 3-0, might as well be 5-0 with the way his counter part is playing. Lekkas has allowed one goal on 50+ shots this weekend. I'm not sure a comeback is in the cards the way UNH is playing tonight. So, if they turned to Taylor for the third, I'd have no complaints. Get him some more experience, sharpen him up in case anything comes up down the stretch and/or get Robinson a bit of a break with a bye next weekend...

Also Robinson is 1.60 GAA and .947 with a pair of shutouts in the five-game stretch prior to tonight...

I would tend to agree with you - but I'd guess the UNH staff is still thinking comeback and believes Robinson gives them the best shot at that outcome...
Also couldn't fault them if they've just decided it's Robinson's job this year and if he's healthy and playing well then he is in there. Taylor's next shot to compete for significant minutes may be next season at this point...

The rest of the team looks tired and slow tonight. Fanning on a lot of passes and shots all over the ice. Worst effort in a long while - but credit Vermont for playing with a lot of pace...

Bails them out after another bad PP. I'll never understand the idea to stack five of your top six scorers on one PP and start your second unit instead. The first PP got on the ice with less than 30 seconds left and the puck in their own end...

No focus tonight. UVM is one of the worst teams in the country and UNH let them dominate. I know players think they can win any game but it looks like they will have little chance against Lowell with not much better prospects against Northeastern. Having a week off, then two home games vs. NU, might help them. Let’s hope so.
