UNH-BU weekend preview.
Well this is a simple weekend, just win baby!! The Cats have a chance to clinch the Hockey East regular season title. Depending on what happens in the Maine-BC game Thursday night, the Cats could do it Friday night with a win. Of course the win will not be easy. BU plays the Cats very tough at the Whitt, and the Cats play the Terriers tough at the Agannis. The last time they played to a 4-4 tie. The Terriers are also coming off the regular Beanpot championship. This will be a great test to see how playoff ready the Cats are. John Curry is playing extremely tough in nets for BU, and had moved up to one of the favorites for the Hobey Baker. But Kevin Regan is playing equally tough. Do from the outside these should be 2 close low scoring games. But have the defense that are ranked in the top 3 in all the country. I think the key will be for UNH to come up and get the first goal, and hopefully second. BU’s offense is not as tough as the Cat’s. The Cats are #4 in the country in offense and BU is not in the top 20. So this game could come down to special teams. Both teams are in the top 11 in the country in penalty kill, while the Cats are #8 in Power Play in country while BU is not in the top 20.
I see a split coming out of the weekend, which if everything works out will give the Cats the regular season title and the #1 seed in the Hockey East tourney and hopefully a #1 seed in the national tourney. Have a feeling that Thomas Fortney is going to have a good weekend, he seems to play well against BU. I will be at the game on Friday and will more then likely watching the game Saturday at BU.
GO CATS!!!
