    Another disappointing loss to UVM on home ice...6 seasons now? Since 2012?? Great looks in the first couldn't bury it. Down to ninth. Predictable I guess.
    Watched the game on the IPad. It is beyond distressing to see how lifeless the team is. They make so many basic mistakes. Wrong passes in the defensive zone. Poor breakouts. No real push five on five. And the PP is abysmal. Can’t imagine what former players who came back this weekend, guys like Krog, Bekar, and the like, think when they see this poor excuse for UNH hockey. Truly embarrassing.

      Comes down to having the horses and that is pretty much the story. Didn't really feel too much about it one way or the other....meh is all I got. Watched UVM hustle it out of our zone much of the night. Some good stuff here and there but mostly meh... onto bobblehead night. 🙄

        Yup, pretty much what I have to say on the subject too. The fundamentals are completely lacking and you just sit there waiting for the next turnover to come. And here we are spending the weekend "honoring" the man who brought things to this point. Jokingly calling him good ol' 599 seems quite optimistic at this point.

          This is sort of what you get with a lame duck coach. Obviously I haven't seen them play lately and I am only going by what I read on this thread, but it just sounds to me everyone has mailed it in. If I was a conspiracy person I would say it's a passive-aggressive way of making sure he doesn't get to the NRN. But I don't think kids think that way. It just sounds like they have gotten apathetic and are basically just waiting for the "era" to be over. It's sad. But it almost always ends this way. I can't help but compare this to what happened a few years ago at BU. We were just waiting for Parker to leave. It's unfortunate when people hang on beyond their "time." Not saying it should be "mandatory" - nothing of the sort. But if your heart isn't into it anymore it's time to move on. Record or no record. It's unfair to everyone else to hang on just for a personal goal. UNH hockey will recover from this but it won't be overnight...

            same thing happened at Yale when Taylor left, hopefully there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

              they all had #15 on tonight in warm ups and tomorrow night will auction off those jerseys. Wonder how much fans will cough up for them; last year TyK's went for I think 250.00...

                Poor breakouts? I really liked the improved breakouts this year by Gildon and Maass, early in the season. But, perhaps the coaches have successfully reined in their recklessness?

                        True.

                        More true.

                        I know it's ridiculous to say, but I'd rather see Bekar, etc. suited up tonight. At least if the puck happens to find one of them in the vacinity of the net, there is a chance they can finish.

                        McAdams continues to hustle. Vela is snake bit.
                        I will not be out cheered in my own building.

                          He had surgery a week and a half ago. It went well. No activity for six weeks. Sacco in a sling as well.

                            Hey at this point...I'd like to see what MacAdams could do on that first line powerplay...

                              Most UVM fans who post on this forum aren't too thrilled with their coach but I'll say this for Kevin Sneddon; he sure knows how to beat UNH. Here are his comments regarding the first period where we had a lot of good looks on our PP's as per Alex Hall of the Union Leader this morning:

                              “He was great, especially early on their power play,” Vermont head coach Kevin Sneddon said of his goalie. “We didn’t cover the back door and he made a couple of post-to-post saves that at the start of the game could have been significantly different.”

                              #InGameAdjustmentsMatter

                              With this loss getting the coveted 'home ice' in the You Know What HE tournament is most likely slim to none without a win and some luck the rest of the way. Haven't looked at UVM's remaining schedule either. Just like the last 2 seasons UNH will most likely be...

                              https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5v9-InvDwMw

                              My version:

                              On the road again...just can't wait to get back on that road again...playing hockey with my friends...like a band of Wildcats we go down that highway...hoping for something to go our way...we just can't wait to get on that road again....dum de dum.....
