Re: UNH Wildcats 2019/2020 Ready to Rock and Roll!!
Re faceoff stats...while I wouldn't deign to debate most hockey stats with you guys here I do feel face offs matter...because they lead to one thing that's beneficial and that's possession. Thinking of last season when Charlie K won a pivotal faceoff that Naz potted the OT win V Maine.I'm just here for the hockey...

15-16 10th place
16-17 10th place
17-18 11th place
18-19 8th place
19-20 9th place

21-22 9th place
22-23 10th place

Re: UNH Wildcats 2019/2020 Ready to Rock and Roll!!
Oh, I understand that for individual faceoffs, especially late in a game, it can be important. I'm just complaining about old school coaches who talk about how good a player is at faceoffs, to the exclusion of their overall game (or the coach's strategy of handing possession of the puck to the other side by dumping and chasing).
Basically, get skilled guys who can get possession during the hundreds of free pucks during the play, rather than over-emphasizing one individual type of possession that the stats suggest is not correlate to winning games.The Souza record:
15-16 10th place

Re: UNH Wildcats 2019/2020 Ready to Rock and Roll!!
Strongest statistical indicators your team will win a game:
(1) Scoring the first goal, playing with a lead, setting the tone for everything else that follows;
(2) Quality scoring chances (with "quality" being highly subjective);
(3) Attacking zone possession;
(4) Shots on goal (i.e. not all shots are equal, in quality or circumstance-wise);
…
(T-97) Most talented pep band;
(T-97) Prettiest cheerleaders;
(99) Faceoff wins
OK - maybe an exaggeration at the end … but not by much. More basically, if your team is more talented, and they play with the necessary application and focus, those qualities trump all else. But there's no way to truly measure talent data-wise without highly subjective methods, so I'm just gonna have to stick with the above.
Give me the first goal, and you can have the rest. Not foolproof or perfect, but better than all the others.Sworn Enemy of the Perpetually Offended

Re: UNH Wildcats 2019/2020 Ready to Rock and Roll!!
Interesting how things gravitate to SOG on UNH threads. Not coincidentally, UNH won the SOG Friday night and won the game and lost the SOG Saturday night and lost the game. Go figure! Why am left feeling UNH took their feet off the pedal in the third Saturday?Last edited by e.cat; 10-13-2019, 05:57 PM.UNH Hockey: You can check out any time you like but you can never leave!

I know that ‘Watcher gets that nobody on this thread was suggesting correlation. I personally was expressing a distaste losing face-offs and possession, especially in our offensive zone. Perhaps I’m insane, and it should be our new killer strategy? 😁
Okay, I’m done with that topic. Any Bentley insights?Signature line intentionally left blank.

Re: UNH Wildcats 2019/2020 Ready to Rock and Roll!!
More surprising non-occurrence this past weekend:
(1) Ty Taylor not getting a start in the second game; or
(2) Justin Fregona not dressing in either of the games?
Should we expect either/both of these guys to see action against Bentley next weekend?Sworn Enemy of the Perpetually Offended
