UNH-CC recap

Some thoughts from the UNH weekend sweep of Colorado College.
Kevin Kapstad really impressed me this weekend, were was that hitting last year? He will be a fan favorite in no time.
Craig Switzer needs to step up and stop making stupid mistakes. He has shown in the past we can play solid D, needs to stop thinking he needs to carry the team on his shoulders
When did Brad Flashins become such a good offensive defenseman, but hell we will take it.
Overall very happy about the way the defense played this weekend, well after the first period Friday.
James Van Reinsdyke really showed me a lot with his great hustle and drawing at least 4 penalties on CC.
Brian Foster looked very solid in net Saturday night. Like the 1, 2 punch we have in net, and should be set between the pipes for the next 3 years.
Paul Thompson has earned a place in the line up.
Love the attitude this years Cats team has, I can’t remember the last time I saw them play with a little chip on their shoulder and would be aggressors in the physical game.
Was very impressed with the turn out of CC fans, they were loud Saturday night. Hard not like a team that has that good of a turnout from the distance.
All 4 lines played a solid weekend. The Pollastone-Lablanc-Butler line was probably the best of the weekend. Like how Coach Umile has them as the “third” line to get a better match up for them.
Like to see the Cats take less stupid penalties, I don’t mind penalties coming from some aggressive play, but some of the ones they took this weekend were stupid one in the offensive zone.
The Cats showed some great conditioning over both games, they seemed to wear down CC in the third period both night, just like they did to BU last weekend. Overall very happy with the way the Cats played over the last 5 periods of the weekend, I hope they can keep up this play all year and not fade off like last year.
