      6-3-4

      See UNH is finally playing a team they're better than and as a result they'll score first, lead after one, lead after two and lead at the end of the game!! And all those stats will illustrate is that UNH remains better against teams worse then them than against teams better than them...

      Good for Sato, though. Great pass by Max Gildon.

          Hmm, hope that the Cats do not try to sit back on their 2-1 lead in the third.

          In contrast to the low-scoring affair at Lake Whitt tonight, I just watched HRef's alma mater lose only their second conference game of the season 7-5 to Fitchburg State in Plymouth (20-mile rather than 180-mile RT drive for me). PSU gave up five PP goals, with 4 on two 5-minute majors; no SMT's they. Something like 90+ total SOG in the game.

            I'll take the blame if they lose - as it will be solely a result of me mentioning situational stats in the first place...

                      Watched most of the game. Got a laugh out of the announcers comment that the Beanpot was an “underated tournament.” It’s only been around for 65 years, featuring teams that have won a dozen national championships. And, btw, this year we may finally have that first ever Northeastern- Harvard final.

                      But I digress. Watching the five minute PP innthe third, I was continually struck by how lackadaisical UNH passing is. No one snaps the puck when passing. No one seizes an opening and skates to space. I know the talent is mediocre but can’t they even make an attempt at positive hockey. Glad they won. Tirone should be POW.

Those stats are completely useless. Almost every single team will show a good record when leading after two - because they're likely the better team (or playing better) in all those games they led after two. They trumpet those stats on TV/radio broadcasts all the time as if they mean anything. It's a major eye roll level of commentary...

                        Case in point - as bad as this UNH team is they're 9-1-2 when they lead after two. Find me a team that doesn't have gaudy numbers in that scenario...
                        Precisely. Which is why I've always been a proponent of getting an early lead and playing from a position of strength, where the longer and deeper into the game you can maintain a lead, the better your chances of bagging W's. Rendering SOG's as a secondary indicator and relatively (if not entirely) meaningless by comparison.

                          We have a mid week game. I am not overlooking that.

                          Not next weekend, but it is coming.

                              You've always been a proponent of getting an early lead? That's so profound Chuck. I can hardly contain myself

                                According to Dan's post above, we are now 7-4-3 when we score first, winning half of those, and also meaning that we score first half of the time and are 3-9-2 when we do not score first. Perhaps most important is that we avoided the umileation of single digit wins this season.
