McAdams with cast on right forearm.

With that knowledge lets hope we can insert Engares in his spot come the next half.

That’s too bad...and here's hoping Anthony Wyse returns to the line up sooner than later as well. ...hopefully not too severe for the both of them!

Can someone tell me how we played last night? Was not there and can only go by the score. ‘Cats deserve a ton of credit for the weekend! Had to feel good. And Snively65 I did note our jump in the PWR! 36th beats 51st

Here's the highlights; wow, Crookshank...loved his comments in the presser "I live for scoring goals". Agree.

It sure felt like a great game. Freshmen goalie probably gave us a much needed opportunity and the "Canadian" line could not have looked better...all night!
Hickey got a bit more ice and didn't embarrass himself, glad to see him out their. MacKinnon has been good all year but I felt he stepped up this weekend, particularly last night. He play hard, effective and was talking up a storm. Gildon looked really strong in both games
Sato just fits into what is needed now. Man can he fly. He is getting better with the puck on his stick and that should help his game from either position. Fregona, as Dan noted is finally getting ice time with great linemates. This is our line for now. Vela, Naz and Grasso could not seem to find a great rhythm and therefore didn't find the score sheet. Look at Dans suggested lines and I can only second that motion.
All in all not pretty, but effective and both goalies keep us in the game and I am very proud of how we have handled the most significant injury session in my memory. Perhaps when no on is just off the charts great they are easier to replace - Cause they sure did.

Hey there ATW! Were you at both games? What can you say about one night to the next? Despite BG not playing well...etc...were we better able to being hemmed in our zone? Robinson obviously played well...that one stick save in the highlights oh my!

Without looking at last year the 'Cats last had a 'sweep weekend' over Colgate...if I have that right, and swept 2 other teams last season. UML being one...who was the other (wasn't over a weekend tho) and marked our last win of the second half of 2018 season?

Great to see Brian McCloskey behind the Dartmouth bench. (Listed as "Volunteer Assistant Coach".) Can't help but wonder if any discussion might have gone on among the coaching staffs. Did MS know? (Who cares.)

They made big deals on the broadcast BOTH nights about the UNH/David Lassonde connection while conspicuously ignoring McCloskey's presence entirely...

Of course Coach Souza would have known. McCloskey was an assistant coach for three of his four years as a player at UNH, and probably had a hand in his recruitment. You don't forget those things, even if your boss wants you to.

Shame on the suck-up toadies on the UNH broadcast for not acknowledging McCloskey's presence. It's small-minded crap like that which defines the *****hat pond scum that is BS35+infinity, UNH's AD-for-life.

sorry JAB - confused which MS you were referring to …

Re: UNH 2018-19: Souza The Opportunity

Nice sentiments!

I was born in Hanover and remember the days when Dartmouth was the Indians and not the BG! Many people do not realize this but the New Hampshire College of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts, now called the University of New Hampshire, was founded in Hanover 1866 in partnership with Dartmouth College. Dartmouth later kicked out the redneck farm boys and a bill was signed in 1891 to build a college on Ben Thompson's farm in Durham, NH.

It's only fitting that a bitter in-state rivalry has ensued ever since!

My great-grandpappy was one of those redneck farm boys!! Dang nancy-boys up in Hanover couldn't hack it then, and they couldn't hack it this weekend!

Welcome to the Board, Grouchy. Do you know Jacques "Rabbit" Porriveau?

Someone must be doing something right coaching up the blue line replacements in front of our goaltenders, eh?

McCloskey has been a Volunteer coach at Dartmouth for the past few years. He is the equivalent of our goalie coaches since Lassonde left for Denver. John Rose and Dave Lassonde are the assistant or associate coaches and they do collect a paycheck from Dartmouth.

Well Chuck .. I was captured by the evil empire, tortured and am now paralyzed. I had to relocate to a new location like Luke did and have been watching all things good happen 'with the force' Thank God Darth is gone! The dog!
