Credit to UML. The better team won last night. UML was back to their style of a few years ago. Boring to watch. 'cats lost the face off battle and could not compete in the offensive zone corners minus the 3 large forwards.

....nailed it. And that's what I was thinking all night "where have I seen this before"? Right on as usual with your assessments sir.

Oops, yes, thanks; Terriers first NC in 1970-1971. Those were great Terrier teams. This year's Terrier cup cake team might have a chance for a win tonight with the depleted ranks up front for the Cats. Eiserman and Vela sure spend a lot of time on the shelf with injuries. 😕

Was he the one they acknowledged with a moment of silence last night? RIP Wildcat....

He was. Which leads to my bone to pick with whoever runs the scoreboard. While it was wonderful that UNH acknowledged his passing, is there some reason that they couldn’t scare up a picture of him? If nothing else, the could have used a head shot from the team photos on the concourse.

RIP, Bill "Stinky" Munroe. You nailed it with "energy forward," Greg. The 1970-71 and 1971-72 UNH teams were two of my favorites, with forwards like Stinky (Newton), Umile (Melrose), Mike McShane (Wakefield), Loui Frigon (Montreal, eh?), John Gray (Ontario), Guy Smith (Buffalo), Bill Beany (Lake Placid), and Gordie Clark. BU was our biggest rival those two years, as the Terriers went to the FF both years and won it all in 1972. I remember one game in particular at Snively in which UNH survived multiple 5-3 PKs, with Stinky on the ice almost the entire two minutes during one of those PKs, a game that we won. I especially remember that post-game celebration in which Stinky got a huge round of applause when he showed up at the Down Under Pub. 'Dem were 'da days.

My BU-UNH memory from those days is a game in 1972. My girlfriend (now wife) and I always stood in the corner at the scoreboard end of Snively. It was a great view and with the chain link, you could hear everything. At one point in the second period, with UNH up by a couple of goals, Umile got into a scrum with Jake Danby, who was about 8 inches taller than him. The refs came in and broke it up and as Umile skated away, he yelled at Danby, “look at the f’n scoreboard.” If memory serves, BU poured it on in the third and won by a couple of goals.

Really? A nice boy from Melrose said that what a great story!!🙀
 
Re: UNH Wildcats-The Back Nine and Beyond!

No love on this thread for BvR's oldest brother sending the B's-Leafs game into OT in Toronto last night with two goals in regulation before the Leafs took the extra point?
 
Re: UNH Wildcats-The Back Nine and Beyond!

Here at the Agganis 'Cats had a decent PP which didn't score but put some shots on net. A skilled BU team getting into their zone at will it seems. Grasso on top line. SOG even at 12. Saw BvR on concourse in sling.

Amazing saves keeps it 2-0 BU. 'Cats putting it on net 23-20 SOG's. Good work out there really by our undermanned 'Cats. Go 'Cats!
 
Re: UNH Wildcats-The Back Nine and Beyond!

I believe the first start for Prawdzik. It was time to give Oettinger a rest and it’s just bad timing for UNH to run into a kid who is pumped up to play and a team playing pretty well in front of him. A couple of great saves on the PP but also IMO a few times where UNH was unable to finish.
 
Re: UNH Wildcats-The Back Nine and Beyond!

Good flow to the game though. Up and down the ice and pretty wide open.

Story of the weekend...(finishing part)
 
Re: UNH Wildcats-The Back Nine and Beyond!

To be fair it’s the best game I have seen BU play all year. They were embarrassed last night so they were obviously motivated tonight.
 
Re: UNH Wildcats-The Back Nine and Beyond!

Hard reality for the 'Cats, unfortunately. Too many key players hurt and it is showing. As feared, BU is PO'd after getting crushed by NU last night and UNH has no answers.

But they haven’t always been PO’d after losses which has been part of the problem. Many times they have appeared “indifferent.” So from a BU perspective it is great to see.

Yay. Glad they worked it out. Group hug. Sorry having a hard time being magnanimous tonight...

UNH dropped from 4th to 9th to 11th in PWR this weekend, fortunately propped up by cupcakes CC and Colgate playing well, despite UNH losses to cupcakes UML and BU. Can UNH rally against cupcake BC next weekend? Can UNH forwards get healthy?

Were vR parents at Garden or Agannis tonight?

Glad chickod is happy.
