UNH penalty... 4:12 left... hooking call on LeBlanc.

UNH not dealing well with the 1-2-2 trap by the Catamounts. First PP of the game for UVM. UNH has to start skating again... very sluggish of late.

Better to be lucky than good...almost give up a shorthanded breakaway and then score as pp expires.. 2-1 uvm
 
Re: UVM @ UNH, Catfight Quarterfinal Round 1, 3.12.2010

Ohhhh!! Paul Thompson goes in alone on a shorthanded breakaway but hits the post!! That could have been HUGE!

And now UVM scores just after the LeBlanc penalty ends. 2-1 UVM and the Whitt is stunned. Foster can't come up with the big stop and Anctil scores.. backhand between the pads.
 
UVM 2, UNH 1... end of 1st period

UVM 2, UNH 1... end of 1st period

UVM 2, UNH 1.. end of the 1st period...

Just a full on capitulation by UNH after the Butler goal. Story of two periods as UVM takes full advantage. They are playing a good, safe road game. Time for UNH to wake up and play like you are the #1 seed. A pathetic first period showing thus far.
 
Re: UVM @ UNH, Catfight Quarterfinal Round 1, 3.12.2010

Great period for the Cats! Who says we are playing "safe" --- I would say opportunistic. Need more goals...this so called "trap" won't be enough for two more periods.

UVM does not want to get in a shooting match with UNH.... they will lose badly. Shots on goal in the first: UVM 8, UNH 5. That is playing EXACTLY the way UVM wants it ... slowed down and not run-and-gun.

Nothing wrong with playing to your strengths. UVM wins Period 1. 1/3 of the way to the upset. We shall see if they can keep the lid on the can the rest of the game. That will be the trick.

When you play 1-2-2, and have only one forechecker (and it is a soft forecheck at that), it is playing it safe. Slice it any way you like. The NJ Devils made a whole way of hockey around it that was very successful. It is up to UNH to crack it and take advantage of their speed. If UNH does not skate and is content to slow the game down, it plays right into Sneddon's gameplan. Umile must know this and I am sure he is having some choice words for his team in the UNH room right now.

Well, since we joined Hockey East, we have had success against every team......except UNH. They have owned us....so I think Umile has the formula to break the "trap". Hoping he forgot it.

True... but this is the playoffs and you can't take anything for granted. UVM is not your typical 8th seed sacrificial lamb. Far from.

Game on in the 2nd.... GO UNH!
 
Re: UVM @ UNH, Catfight Quarterfinal Round 1, 3.12.2010

Cats GOOOOOOAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!! NICK KRATES FIRES FROM THE POINT IN THE UPPER CORNER RIGHT OFF THE GOOD FACE-OFF WIN BY LEBLANC!!! 2-2 NOW... 1:27 INTO THE 2ND!!

UNH 2, UVM 2.. 2nd period

UVM with a couple of quality bids.... first Miller and then Stalberg. This game is finally opening up. DeSimone of UNH tests Madore... good stuff.
 
Re: UVM @ UNH, Catfight Quarterfinal Round 1, 3.12.2010

Anyone with an update on the atmosphere - crowd size? Sounds like Fister is holding them in.
 
Uvm 3, Unh 2

Uvm 3, Unh 2

UVM goal... mercy... Burrows lifts it up over Foster. This IS turning into a shootout. Wow. Hope no one brought a knife to this gunfight. 3-2 UVM

Now John Henrion of UNH will get a penalty for hit to the head. PP#2 for UVM coming up.
 
Re: UVM @ UNH, Catfight Quarterfinal Round 1, 3.12.2010

UVM with a goal and now a PP...looks like we are [putting on some good pressure Malts. The UVM announcers are saying no atmosphere and blaming it on the students not being around?

They owned Vermont before Hockey East, too. ;)

Yep... UVM came to play. Have responded well after both UNH goals. Full marks to the Catamounts.
 
Re: UVM @ UNH, Catfight Quarterfinal Round 1, 3.12.2010

UNH kills the penalty and are at full strength.... Henrion back on.
