I would agree the NCAAs was a different story."Now Progress Takes Away What Forever Took To Find" Dave Matthews Band, The Dreaming Tree

Originally posted by JB View PostWhat a minute. That second HE championship was a game played entirely in not to loose form. BU was exhausted from late multiple OT game the night before and UNH's game plan was novacaine... slow but works. It was also the ultimate play not to loose.

Just because it occasionally works doesn’t mean you weren’t playing not to lose.I went home with a waitress the way I always do
How was I to know she was with the russians, too?

Originally posted by Snively65 View PostIn reference to Ray Dorn's original post about our team playing not to lose in the third and OT, I thought that we were playing not to lose from opening whistle in the 2003 NC game, holding one of out forwards back on the attack. And, all that did was give Vanek one more of our guys to skate around.

Re: UNH Wildcats 2017/2018 - Umile's Last Stand - The Grand Finale
So, UNH is now officially the lowest scoring team in HE. 40 goals in 27 games. This will be a compelling race as we head down to the finish line.
UNH 40
Merrimack 41
Vermont 42
UMass 43
UNH hockey saw the shadow of its former self, so four more weeks of Umile, maybe five if they win the play-in round.Last edited by NCAA watcher; 02-05-2018, 10:10 AM.The Souza record:

Originally posted by Greg Ambrose View PostJust lost all credibility my friend. Late 90’s when they lost to CC? That would be 1997, the year before they started the run of four FF in six years. If you’re going back two decades, why not go back four or more, when they lost to RPI at home? Or 1976, when they lost to Harvard at home? You know, UNH should have beat BU in 1969! Why does the school even field a hockey team?
How many of those FFs did they win? Because they had the talent to win at least 2 of them.
For the past 5 years we’ve been obsessed with the lack of talent coming to Durham but that’s only served to make us forget what a bad game coach DU was/is. Back in the day the talent papered that over, until it was down to the true cream of the crop, when even superior talent couldn’t carry him, I’d argue that on as many as 3 occasions during DU’s time UNH was the most talented team in the country. And yet we’re still waiting for our first NC.
You were never smart enough to understand that and now you’re too old to learn. Unfortunate.I went home with a waitress the way I always do

Greg, we will never agree on the 2003 NC game; we still had a couple of lines that could have run with the Golphs if they had been given a chance, even without Lanny.

Dick or BS35 saw their shadow when they came out of the bunker, meaning 4 or 5 more weeks of turtlenecks. Does the bobble head have a turtleneck? Does it also whistle if you play too long?

Re: UNH Wildcats 2017/2018 - Umile's Last Stand - The Grand Finale
Originally posted by Greg Ambrose View PostJB surprised at you. My recollection of that game was the goaltending, both Curry and Ayers. And, of course, Teplitsky to Whitney. The idea that teams would play not to lose a championship game is ludicrous.
I thought UNH played much better in the NCAAs that year and didn't have a huge issue with the strategy in the NCAA Championship game. Trying to skate with that Minnesota team wouldn't have gone well. It worked for 2 periods until Vanek decided to be interested in the game."Now Progress Takes Away What Forever Took To Find" Dave Matthews Band, The Dreaming Tree
