Re: UNH 2018-19: Souza The Opportunity
Touche - I suppose I should have said, UNH avoiding at least one loss would really surprise me. A number of things could happen this weekend without raising an eyebrow. A split is probably most likely - Miami has split its last three trips east to play HE schools (UML this season, Maine last season, Providence the year before). But, they are also much improved. If Miami gets depth scoring, they'll sweep.
Regarding Friday without Max - UNH has scored exactly two goals in five of their last six games (relying on Max to create one of those goals). In the sixth game they scored just once on a goal set up by Gildon. It would not surprise me if they scored 2 or 3 and managed to win. If they do, it will be because they commit to scoring goals of the ugly variety. Still, expecting them to breakout offensively without Gildon does seem a bit optimistic. Its simply hard to win scoring two goals or less. Max also leaves A LOT of minutes that need to be picked up by the remaining defensemen in terms of goal-prevention...
I think they'll lose Friday and attempt to salvage the weekend on Saturday with equal 33.3% chances to win, lose or draw...
