UNH Wildcats 2021/2022 - Return of the Champions of October?

So...what would happen if Robinson got a 2 goal game misconduct?? They'd have to forfeit tomorrow night with no other goalie? Kudos to the 'Cats for hanging in there for that 5 min (which had the 4 v 4 as well).
 
Give me a break UNH....even with the goal tender issue you don't just fold up your tent and go home....Guess they'll learn from this. Looking forward to hearing the post game comments...should be interesting to say the least. How they bounce back tomorrow will be huge. I know it's early in the season, and the situation wasn't ideal tonight, but, very disappointed they did not rally behind (er, in front of) that goalie and bust it for all it was worth.

Am I missing something w/ the UAH transfer right now? Was there a reason THIS was the back-up goalie decision...?
 
What the F is going on? HR, more details on the game please, for most on here we will not have stayed up this late to catch the game, or have gotten back too late from other Friday night stuff, or even watched the Sox-Astros ALCS game. It's even too late for USCHO to have posted a score, much less a report. Win/lose/tie, what happened with Robinson, and what's up with the apparent lack of a back-up goalie for a two game series 90% of the way across the country?!?

Explain...are we expecting another goalie in this season? Sorry for asking a lame question.

UNH has a second scholarship goalie on the roster - https://unhwildcats.com/sports/mens-ice-hockey/roster/david-fessenden/9118

One who posted a .910 SPCT in 20 starts against DI competition, behind DIII-ish teammates. Is he hurt? In trouble? Ineligible? Tonight's backup performance went exactly as anyone would have predicted - so I want to make sure I'm not missing something before I say any more or assume it was a coaches' decision...
 
Word I had is Fessenden is in a Covid isolation. Robinson decided it would be brilliant to butt end a ASU forward in the ribs in the second period and get himself thrown out. Despite that the team held up well until they gave up one goal in the third to make it 2-1. Then they proceeded to stop playing with any skill or intensity and gacked up three more goals. This after they mostly stuck with or outplayed ASU for the first 40.

What is "a 2 goal game misconduct"? Jeremy Forman replaced Robinson in net after Robinson got a 5-minute major and a game misconduct for spearing. I did not know about Fessenden.

"Niedermayer? Dead!!!!"

DeltaB pretty much explained what happened...we held up well during the penalty (game misconduct) but then they got one and we were pretty much ran out of the place...and as he (DB) stated our other goalie is out. I thought we played fairly well up to that point and seemed to control play...then we went totally flat etc etc etc.

hahaha I don't know what the H I was talking about there is NO such thing obviously as a 2 goal game misconduct....haha comic relief on what turned out to be a dismal night. Long day! Longer night! My point was IF Robinson were to get another game suspension for today's rematch (I mean, it's 1:13 here) we'd have no back up goalie so would have to forfeit? LOL Niedermayer...DEAD! Losing it, better get some sleep!
 
The Streaming feed was...... well, difficult to follow.

Without having seen the collapse, I note that the pesky +/- follows certain people
 
Wow....I would have expected the de-facto "senior" member of the team to show a certain level of maturity. I can't even remember an occasion when a goaltender earned a game misconduct and ejection.

This was embarrassing to say the least....a long time NCAA Division I program coming to the home of a relatively new Division I program for the first time, takes stupid penalites, and then falls apart. I'm sure that the Sun Devil fans were impressed....NOT.

Get ready for another rough ride folks....it's going to be a LOOOOOONNNGGGGGG season I'm afraid...............

Thanks for filling in the blanks for us, deltabravo62.

To recap ... losing program with losing mentality does stupid things to lose a game. Yawn.

MS7 should suspend the cement-head 5th year goalie and let the team deal with it in his absence.

Maybe set an example that sheer outright immature stupidity is not allowed in his program?

I'm guessing guys like York, Carvel, Barr wouldn't tolerate that crap. Why should MS7??

Cue to cement-head getting the start again tonight (forget the misconduct/suspension rules) ...
 
Seemed to me UNH outplayed ASU the first 2 periods. 3rd period - was it a a stamina thing, attitude, general teamwork or ???? Can't put my finger on it. See how they go about it today. BTW, cool uni's, I like them.

USA Hockey Rule 404 (b) states that a player who receives a game misconduct is suspended from the next game on the schedule. Maybe NCAA rules are different? In any case, our undefeated season sure went south(west) (heh, heh) in a hurry. Sigh.
 
Misconduct means you can play the next game, DQ means you sit. He can and should play - haven’t seen the play, don’t know what led to the spear or how bad it actually was, so I won’t comment more; but if the powers that be say he can play he should play...

Sit him tonight and you’re only punishing the program and the other 30 kids - because you don’t have a competitive back up option.

Next week when Fessenden returns they can sit Robinson as punishment if that’s what they deem necessary. He’ll have to watch, the rest of the team will have to play without him, but at least they’ll still have a DI goalie on the ice with them...
 
I wish that someone on Metcalf's staff can fix the non-working live stats feed on the HE website (angry emoji inserted).
 
3-0 ASU in the second after Thiesen's shortie. Eff this....shutting off the game and going to watch the Bruins instead.

Sorry 'Ref but we are indeed in for a LOOOOONNNGGGG season. This team is mailing it in and I think just wants to get the he11 out of Tempe ASAP.

Unfortunately its probably the same person responsible for the brilliant "upgrade" to this forum a while back.
