At That Rate, I’m Surprised They Didn’t Give the Arena Away

Before I get to the body of this post, I would like to take the opportunity to let you know that this is a Unitel Power Post, sponsored by Jewelry Creations of Dover and with special thanks to Margarita’s. We’d also like to thank our local fishery for providing our first goal fish, and take this opportunity to give away a 10 percent off coupon to the Tea Times Inn in Conway to everyone sitting in sections 120, 121, and 122. And students, if you’re sitting in section 112, row H, seat 10, you have just won a piece of pizza from Wildcat Pizza. Wildcat Pizza, where wildcats eat.

Oh, the University of New Hampshire. I’ve been attending hockey games at the “Whit” (UNH’s Whittemore Center) for just about four years, and they always make for an amusing evening. Saturday evening’s BU-UNH tilt, however, had to be the most amusing of them all.

BU decimated the University of New Hampshire Wildcats tonight, 5-0.  This is not always a good thing, for the two teams meet again Saturday evening, and when UNH gets angry, they get…angry. Like, I may be assaulted by a smelly, slimy, dead trout when I walk into the Whittamore Center Saturday evening with my BU hockey jersey on.  At least my cat will want to cuddle with me afterward.

Have I mentioned that I love this hockey team? Holy heck – they’re fast, they’re great penalty killers and they try so hard most of the time.  This team is amazing. There’s nothing else you can say. In the mobs of people exiting the arena after the games, you just hear people in awe talking about what they’ve just watched. Tonight I heard about six people as I left the arena use the word dominance. That might be what this is.  I prefer the word fun. This is fun.

I’ll report back from New Hampshire. Check the Twitter feed to your right  for in game updates Saturday night.
