UNH seemed very disinterested once up 2-0 and that bit them. Once the game was tied UNH had a little burst but seemed to get disinterested again pretty quick. Seemed a bit like watching pond hockey between friends - everybody wants to win but mostly have a good time and not get hurt.
NTDP-U18 Team goalie Demko was really on, multiple amazing saves, both pad and gloove. Kid has a sense of humor too. He was having fun with the (few) UNH students at the game. During "still an empty net" he just looked up smiled and shruged - causing laughter. He found the tetris game on the glass entertaining. Clapped his stick on the ice and waved the gloove at a couple of funny cheers. All in the 3rd period. Surprised he isn't committed anywhere for 2014. That would be DeSmith's Sr year - I am looking at you UNH coaching staff...
Funny conversation - would have loved to have heard it. NTDP 1st goal - nice wrap around, puck must have hit the back of the net and come back out. Ref behind the net Wyer still in a post to post split at front. Wyer looks over shoulder at ref (if it is a goal where is the puck?...) Ref starts lifting the twine to get the puck out. Wyer lifts his gloove and points in the crease, in front of him. Ref signals no goal. On review it was goal, would like to know what happened. Must have been funny "chat", certainly looked funny.
