I'm also wondering why Murray would move Pitt from defense where he looked really good. Murray needs to get the Hadley, Osborn and Novak line back together. He also needs to put Dries, Molino and Conrad on the same line where they exploded together. They need to feed Iacopelli the puck on the power play for one timers instead of the tic tac toe play to find Dries in the center which I have only seen work once against UNO.

Pitt has been playing D, filling in for Fleming while he was out. Pitt did a very good job while he was back there, but he is a better forward than a defenseman and prolly this teams best LH power forward. Fleming look good last night, considering it was his first game back since the first game vs Ferris. Having Fleming back also allows Murray to move Pitt back up front and gives him some more options for line combinations

I like last night's line combination of Dries centering Pitt and LaPort. I think that line can be very effective.

I also like the line earlier this year of Molino, Tiffels and Novak. Thought that was our best offensive line early on

I suspect Murry inserted Carpino and Mcmullen for a grittier presence vs UMD.

Not sure I've seen Novak skating with Hadley & Osborn, perhaps it was Conrad you were thinking of?

Iacapolli has a great shot and is a good LH shot option on the PP, but I'm still waiting to see him be more of an impact player in 5 x 5 situations.

I did think the Novak,Tiffels and Molino line was very effective,after the first two game losses he broke them up,I think I would have kept them together.

I think it was Conrad-Hadley-Osborn that lit it up against UNO

drop the f n puck!!!!!

I'm jacked and ready to go. Put me coach

Lets go Broncos

and a umd shot from the corner of the rink. They'll shoot from anywhere, which is one of the reason they generate alot of SOG

Broncos look a lot better tonight

Blashill had a shoot first mentality which is why our defense led the team in goal scoring. I am really liking time they are spending in the OZ.

Its our puck possesion and defensive play in the NZ which is the difference, limiting UMD OZ time and create more OZ time for WMU

Farley is one of the biggest floppers in the league

Tiffels needs to shoot that puck low and hard on that 2 on 1, setting up a juicey for Molino

Really hope someone scores to shut these announcers up about thier record setting consectuitive minutes with out giving up a goal

I believe...
I believe that....
I believe that we..
I believe that we can win!!!!
I believe that we can win!!!!

we are really doing a great job controlling the play in all three zones

gonna need a dirty, greasy goal though

There's no way that's a goal

Curse the Bulldogs

Classic UMD goal, going hard to the net, something we need to do more of.

Two goals by UMD, very similar.

Unfortunate, because the Broncos were really controlling the play

Nope, but they will be checking the box score and chirping later tonight if they lose
