No recap today since I didn’t get to watch or listen to the game. All in all I’m glad I was in Amherst watching a miraculous comeback by the basketball team. But I will share a few thoughts while I sit here tailgating before UMass takes on #1 Delaware.

I don’t think it’s coincidence that UMass could only muster 19 shots, including a ridiculous 2 in the first, with Mike Pereira out. Next to TJ Syner he’s the most important player on offense. Hopefully he’s back soon.

By all accounts Jeff Teglia had a great game. It’s easy to see why he was so highly thought of. It’ll be interesting to see the goaltending rotation from here on out.

Obviously special teams is killing this team. The penalty kill is absolutely horrid. If the team isn’t going to improve on the kill, which they haven’t, then they have to stay out of the box altogether. Not an easy proposition but there aren’t a lot of options at this point. I have no idea how a team can regularly generate so little shots on the power play. Just two shots in six power play chances last night. How does that happen?

Nice job by Gracel in the face-off circle last night going 8 for 11.

Where is Rocco Carzo? He hasn’t made himself as big a part of the offense as had hoped. Zero shots last night.
