That's right Chuck....insult those of us who do not find your comments funny. You'd think you'd have.some respect for those of us who come here to post about UNH hockey. No wonder some don't come here anymore. Go ahead call me a snowflake.

I was no Trump supporter and made no bones about that but I did not post crap to continue rubbg people's noses in it.. And Lord knows I could have.

Soooo done with it.

Ref I think you over-reacted on this one, unless you feel especially close to "Brandon"? 'dc seemed to get the overall gist, but if you are sore about it, I apologize. I've posted one LGB so far, and another poster on here (one we all like and respect BTW) had an ETTD in his signature for months, but we all lived through that one, so I suspect you'll live through a random LGB. ;-)
 
Fessenden is keeping them in the game. If only they could get one...

They've had a lot more life in the 3rd after a total of 1 SOG in the 2nd.

I can assure everybody that my post had to do with endowments and endowments only. As a fiercely independent thinker and voter who has spent 30 years living smack downtown in a hyper-polarized he\_\_hole, the LAST thing I want to do is get in the middle of this morass.
 
Thank goodness for the 7 goals in the two Union games, or we'd be at 12 goals in 10 games. Yes, some of the parts have no track record of scoring, but it is remarkable how underperforming the other scoring parts have been.

UMass announcer nailed it; something to the tune of 'UNH does a nice job defending but once in their attack zone they struggle to do anything productive with it". We had some chances but when you have 1 SOG or something like that in a period how do you expect to score? Make Alex Gagne a forward. Make Huard a forward. I dunno. Hands in the air. As per UMass being 'depleted' I'd say they did just fine with Del Gaizo, Bobby T, and Matt Murray in goal. That said, it's a 2-0 game til the ENG.

We can thank Fessenden for keeping the score down. I did feel encouraged by some of our chances, but unless you get more grade A's....

Last time for the cheap seats in the back, then, I am not going to reply ever again to anything you post that has political over tones in it. I don't care what 'Watcher has in his sig line; in fact, I never noticed it to be honest, and I had to even look up what ETTD means, which is surprising since I think I'm some what 'caught up' with the lingo, being the bleeding heart lib that I am. Your use of LGB? Just one more dig in your posts. Which really, I don't know why I even CARE expect for the fact, you 'fixed my post'...your posts end often times with some kind of thing about the "old fossil in the white house". And like I said, free country. But those rules are only reserved for you Chuck, and, I personally do NOT want to post politically on this board. I'm here for the hockey and gee, do I dare say, to build some friendships here and there.

I'll be honest, I really didn't pay much attention to your comments regarding endowments etc, and wildcatdc, you are not in any 'morass' at least, not with me. I'll admit I was hyper sensitive around the LGB because, I think it's pretty childish anyway. Sorry, but at least around my neck of the woods, I do not recall seeing any FTrump flags on the back of trucks, or, houses with all kinds of anti Biden stuff on their lawns, or, on signs at area businesses. Not that there isn't / wasn't plenty of anti trump stuff going around, mind you. Damn, can't people just get along...

If you like it so much, make it part of your sig line. I'd like to apologize to fellow posters for acting like I'm trying to dictate what people post. Won't happen again!

This^

Devlin had one decent chance late in the 3rd but outside of that, there was nothing. Special teams are very weak too. The PP late was a bunch of passing around to settle for a one timer from the circle. Works for the Bruins with Pasta, but that's never going to be a good strategy with this squad. Nothing in front of the net, just these low percentage opportunities.

Exactly. To think that our defensive play and Fessenden kept this a 1-0 game for 58 minutes and we can’t muster any real chances is just super frustrating.

They were really good announcers. Watching on my NESN app down here, I didn’t know if they were NESN or UMass. I should probably pay closer attention.

Agreed.

Better than either team on the ice last night.

Good lord, to think that UMass passes as the best team in Hockey East speaks to how far the league has fallen.

Liam Devlin, of 22 prep goals in 3 years, 29 USHL points over two seasons? That he is on the top 2 lines is telling. Connor Sweeney? 16 prep goals in 2 years, 3 goals in two years of junior hockey. Where is Cafarelli? (40 points in 42 BCHL games, 6 in 14 games last year)
The one-timer was effective with the pass quick enough to beat the goalie sliding over. A leisurely rotation for the shot while the goalie has plenty of time to get over there is just wasted.
 
Former Redsox radio announcer Tim Neverett, does the play by play. He currently works for the LA Dodgers. Top level pro talent. I recall he lives in western MA. Color commentary was USCHO's own Jim Connelly who lives college hockey every day. Perfect color guy. Neverett was born in Nashua. He took pity on us and the current state of the team more than once with comments like the "always good" UNH team.

Plus UMA was SO ready for it. Almost like they had seen it on video or something.
 
Agree on the game calling, made it a bit easier. Tough one to watch! I see in the box score that they somehow turned the FOW into a 21/20 win. They still look for that last pass rather than shooting when they finally break through. Often with a trailer or two for the potential rebound. Oh well off to Durham. Go Cats!

I hated Neverett on the Sox broadcasts. Sounded just like Jerry Trupiano -- and old guy bumbling through a broadcast.
