A good way to not find yourself in this NPI mess?

Don’t schedule Stonehill.

I found that to be a bit inexplicable. But hell, if you’re gonna schedule them do your job.

Well true but the stonehill game doesn't make a difference they dropped after that game all the way to 29 but moved back up. It was a tie in that game not a loss. A loss would've really ended their chances. Also their schedule works in their favor the next 5 games are on the road if they can win those they will get more points. Road wins against good opponents which they have coming up will give them more points. But they got to win at home as much as they can. The coaching staff needs to call out the captains at this point. Also last year I remember cav put up the pairwise at this point of the season and they played great. I'm wondering if cav is putting up the npi in the locker room. That will give them a reminder what there trying to a accomplish!

The second goal was a travesty right from the get go. We win the faceoff but the puck is in no mans land. Our defenseman is afraid to go get it - fine. But them the Vermont player gets it and blows BY our defenseman who was afraid to be aggressive and then the puck flips over the goalie.
Correct me if im wrong but this is the second straight weekend Muscilik allowed a goal OVER his freakin head.
And after scoring two quick goals to take the lead it was that second freak goal that tilted the game back to vermont.

Any reason Hendrickson couldn't play yesterday? He gave us a nice lift in Lowell last weekend.

The only reason, I believe, is because Tyler is the teams top goalie. He won’t sit much the rest of this year. I do feel confident in Hendrickson as a back up if something happens. Anyway, Tylers effort didn’t lose that game, that’s for sure. It was passive defense and no consistency in the offensive zone. Vermont was much more aggressive on the forecheck and kept UConn from having many long offensive zone possessions. They are a young, fast and eager group. I feel like if they stay healthy, Vermont will finish over .500 this year. Their coach, Steve Weidler (former AIC assistant) looks like he has a good plan and they will get better under him each year. I know, way more than you asked, but it got me thinking.

While there are no easy BE games, the frustrating thing with the program is we don’t win games we are supposed to. Those wins are needed to get over the hump.

They've lost the last 2 games I watched on TV. I'll take one for the team and stop watching.

That's the strategy I use for round ball. It seems to work. We don't have cable so we rarely see hockey unless it is Q on channel 20.
