UNH breaks out with a decisive 5-0 win. Tirone posts the shutout, earning some much-needed confidence. Vela and Eiserman score their first goals of the season. Hopes are raised for an acceptable finish to the 2015 schedule.
Hard to believe MacDonald is out for any reason other than injury or illness ...
Arrrrrggghhhh. Wifi giving me NOTHING tonight due to thunderstorms.
Keep the updates coming!!
Rooting for 3 or 4 point nights from Poturalski & Kelleher - anything else would be a bonus...
Is it me or is Coach Stewart not on the bench?
UNH PP working well tonight, benefited by HEA refs.
Indeed! Been lookin for that homer![]()
I was a homer for both teams tonight.
Actually, I think that UNH was very lucky to win tonight, as Bentley played the best that I have seen them play this year. Antoni should have kept that fifth goal out of his net. Addition by subtraction having one of the UNH seniors not on the ice? Maybe there is hope for a second line than score some goals?
Seemed to me that the freshman line was seeing 2nd line minutes tonight, was getting the 2nd pp unit time as well. Even without Macdonald that "senior" line spent the majority of its icetime in the defensive zone. Only Eiserman was able to get the puck down the ice and create chances. Gaudreault's goal was all because of Eiserman's play and the goalie making a bad play coming off the post. I think that Smith dropping down to the 4th line/pk time with Hill and moving Mcnicholas up to the 3rd would be the best thing for this team. They have to split up that senior line completely, they are just so slow and seem to have zero offensive spark.
It was interesting that Macdonald was on the bench in a suit instead of in the stands for the game. Not sure if there are any rules on that, but I think that could be the best place for him. Allow Correale to handle on ice captain duties and have Macdonald on the bench for the boys, opening the roster spot for someone else in the forward lines.
