Re: UNH Wildcats 2019 Offseason - How Much Progress Did We Really Make This Past Seas
They can't quite seem to find their identity. They're skating a thin line (see what I did there? ) between getting caught up in the rough stuff and shying away to avoid injury. The bottom line is that now they are really beat up and might not have enough of a team to finish this off. I don't think it's "theirs to lose" anymore. Looks like they're down to four d-men, two of whom will be woefully inexperienced in the playoffs. It seems to be the nature of this team that they back off when they get a little comfortable. They need to play with more urgency. The mistake they are making is thinking that they can "turn it on" in a Game 7, which they probably could, assuming they have a roster left. I'm a little surprised that they didn't take note of the fact that the Blues won their previous series(s) by attrition, wearing down their opponents. The B's goal (pun intended) should have been to FINISH this thing as quickly as possible. The way you do that is to not take your foot off the gas and demoralize this team. They didn't, and now I'm not sure that they can.
