Re: UNH Wildcats Official Wait til Next Year...14/15 thread
I go every year regardless of if UNH is in it and can never remember the top seed being late. I am being told it happened in 2009. I have seen some serious dog games from a ratings view at 8 pm.

Re: UNH Wildcats Official Wait til Next Year...14/15 thread
The only team that concerns me isn't the Friday night opponent. I'm not saying BU isn't the favorite - they are - but there's something about them I just don't trust in the postseason (yet, anyway). They drew (and swept) Merrimack for the only *easy* QF series, so they are young and really haven't been tested in the postseason (yet). I still think the team to beat this season is Lowell.
The whole idea of UNH being the team on the late season run is SO foreign to me, but it's a good feeling, isn't it? Huge kudos to the seniors who have stepped up late in a season where so many (including me) had basically written them off. And now after missing out on Boston three years in a row, now UNH is starting to find their way back to the biggest stage in HE. That's a great habit to have, and we also shouldn't forget last year's seniors, who also finished strong and got the 'Cats to the HE Finals to break the "missing out" streak. Success breeds success, and it gets easier to play in the big games when your program plays in them regularly.
It's been a "house money" proposition since last weekend for UNH, and regardless of how next weekend plays out, I think they're going into next season with a legitimate "feel good factor" around the program. With the Monarchs leaving for the left coast, I hope those in charge in Durham (that's Coach Umile's boss, to be clear) can capitalize and help Coach continue to right the ship, and get UNH back to the point where trips to Boston AND the NCAA's are regular destinations, and not reasons for undue over-celebration.
Hoping to clear time in my schedule to get there for Friday, and if so, I'd he happy to terrorize you folks for a few minutes between periods. Great night to be a UNH fan!!!

Congrats on the W guys. Hopefully you can pull off the upset and we can have a rematch of last year's finals.

2009 bu-bc - BU top seed and good TV match-up
2010 bu-maine - BC top seed played early, BU-ME better TV than BC-VT
2011 mc-uhn - BC top seed and I would argue BC vs Northeasten way better TV match up
2012 bu-maine - BC top seed, I guess BU-ME is better for TV than BC-PC
2013 bu-bc - UML top seed, BU-BC better for TV than UML-PC
2014 uhn-pc - UML top seed, UML-ND on paper probably better for ratings just the NICC factor
2015 bu-uhn - BU top seed, and BU-UNH better TV ratings than UML-VY
So apparently the top seed still get 5 pm unless it is BU... Some years the better TV was arguably (before hand) the early game.

Yes it is. THIS is just like the good ol' days. NOTHING better than playing winning hockey in March ... except (I'd imagine) playing winning hockey in April. UNH is still working on that April thingie, but I get a very real sense the program is finally turning the corner, and better days lie ahead. THAT will make this place - and The Whitt - even more fun next season.

Clearly the Seniors are not ready to end their Wildcat careers. Camper continues to come up big in the results and effort department. Great job moving to the front of the net for Pesce. Was Brett shooting at the goal or Jay's stick? Downing's recent production is not only quantity, but quality. Some big time snipes.
