  • Re: UNH Wildcats-The Back Nine and Beyond!

    In today's presser Coach Umile confirms everyone (with the exception of Sacco) will be playing which of course means Eiserman! Some mention of line variations with the addition of him but nothing specific. He was upbeat about the upcoming weekend, trying not to look beyond them with Providence looming. (his words) They also interviewed Liam Blackburn and one other player (missed that part) about drills they had been doing, working on scoring, etc.

      But, I would like to see the BvR-Blackburn-Grasso line back together again every night; over the last 7 games, they are 2-3, 3-2, and 0-3 in goals/assists, which does not sound that great, but it would be a lot better than any other line combination over that time frame. Maybe move Nazarian (3-2) up to the first line with McNicholas (1-4) and Kelleher (0-2)? The, Salvaggio-Vela-Fregona on the third line?
      If Eiserman is apparently back, I would like to see:
      1) Nazarian-McNicolas-Kelleher
      2) BvR-Blackburn-Grasso
      3) Salvaggio-Vela-Eiserman
      4) Miller-Fregona-MacAdams

          Here would be my lineup. I'm going by numbers only since I am on my phone.

          22-17-23
          7-26-20
          10-11-12
          25-13-19

          Here is the reason I bump McNick down. He is absolutely awful on the faceoff. Vela and Blackburn are the only two consistent winners we have in the circle. In my opinion a lot of the issues that first line is having stem from lack of initial possession. If you waste half of your shift trying to get the puck in your defensive zone, what kind of opportunities are you going to create?

              I cannot remember if you were here for the FOW wars a couple of years ago, DB62? These were only surpassed by the SOG wars.

                  Blackburn .427
                  I'm surprised Blackburn's pct is so low. My sense was going by how I saw things happening in the games. Not surprised that Cefalu is high up there either, he just has less faceoffs in the game so I have not noticed as much.

                      I think I’d reorder them 2, 3, 1, 4. I would definitely trade out Miller for Cefalu. That combination has looked good every time they’ve been together.
                      As for not posting much, I don’t want 1932 to yell at me for being too negative. 😉

                        I am somewhat surprised that we did not hear from 1932 immediately following our 5-0-0 start.

                        Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
