UNH 2018 Offseason- Out with the old , in with the semi new?

[HockeyRef]

Nazarian, yes. Vela, not unless he earns it. I would start with something like this...

Crookshank - Blackburn - Grasso
Nazarian - Engaras - Kelleher
Pierson - Vela - MacAdams
BVR - Miller - Fregona/Esposito/Cippolone/Cefalu
---
Sacco/Sato

* If Engaras cannot step into a 2C roll than push Nazarian into the middle and put BVR on the second-line wing.

Wyse - Maass
Gildon - MacKinnon
Boyd - Verrier
---
Dawson/Hickey

***

PP1 - Gildon, Grasso, Crookshank, Blackburn, Vela/BVR
PP2 - Wyse, Maass, Nazarian, Engaras/BVR, Kelleher
PK1 - Wyse, Maass, Nazarian, Vela
PK2 - BVR, Blackburn/Engaras, Boyd, MacKinnon

Who’s your goalie? Agree with these picks!

You are so right here. I didn't take the time to read who you you were responding to.

Not a problem my friend! Just wanted to clarify! I am trying to be 'less harsh' so I don't get the cold shoulder... and PS..you are a valued fan who's opinions I enjoy reading, and discussing at games...

Who’s your goalie? Agree with these picks!

I'd prefer to see a rotation until one of the two wins the job or plays their way out of competition - and honestly if the team isn't any good and the goalies are close I'd rotate them all year long...

Every time I see the Illinois thread bumped I expect to hear they have hired assistant coaches already.

Mister blue, you did it right
But soon comes mister night creepin' over
Now his hand is on your shoulder
Never mind I'll remember you this
I'll remember you this way

And more along the lines of what I'd expect to see...

BVR - Blackburn - Grasso
Nazarian - Vela - Kelleher
Crookshank - Miller - MacAdams
Pierson - Engaras - Esposito/Cefalu
---
Fregona/Cippolone/Sato/Sacco

Gildon - Maass
Wyse - MacKinnon
Boyd - Dawson/Verrier
---
Hickey

I would be fine with these forward lines, except flip Engaras and Miller. I thought that BvR, Blackburn, and Grasso had good chemistry on the third line as freshmen, and I would like to see them reunited. In similar fashion, I would like to see Crookshank and Engaras on the same line as freshmen.

Miller's gonna be named captain....just a feeling. I'm hoping for Vela in that spot; some say he's too 'hot headed'. Where do they get that idea? Vela, C Nazarian/Miller, A's. Oops...I forgot Boyd...he's def in that list...

by Henry D. Thoreau



Low-anchored cloud,
Newfoundland air,
Fountain-head and source of rivers,
Dew-cloth, dream-drapery,
And napkin spread by fays;
Drifting meadow of the air,
Where bloom the daisied banks and violets,
And in whose fenny labyrinth
The bittern booms and heron wades;
Spirit of lakes and seas and rivers,
Bear only perfumes and the scent
Of healing herbs to just mens fields!
The End.

I have no problem with captain and/or co-captains being third or fourth liners or third D pair; I just do not want to see them on the power play. :-)

I have to agree, let's let captains and co-captains of Unh play on bottom two lines and not on power play. So it is said, and so it shall be.
