    As for whether the times had any affect... sure, but it was no different than a 4:00 start after a 7:00 start. The teams were in town Friday so they all had time to adjust their schedules around the game times. Bennett seems to be a great coach. I'm sure he did everything he could to mitigate the time factor.

    The real problem on Sunday was the fact that Matt Peca had way too much Easter candy and was wound up like a top come game time!

    Another thing is that old "some teams just have your number" syndrome. I think we just had U's number this year, much the same as Brown had ours.

    Whatever it was, Union had another great year and there's certainly nothing to be ashamed of.
    I agree but we weren't the only team whose number they had, there were a whole bunch

      Does it make sense for a coach to leave a team that has made the regionals three years in a row?

        For the right price, it's possible. Look out, though; Denver has an opening, and they may not want to go with a Gwozdecky assistant...

          True, anything is possible. I hate the thought of starting over with a new coach. For sure it will be an interesting summer.

Quinnipiac had our number and even all the Union confidence in the world couldnt produce a win. Matthew Peca singlehandidly beat the team. You should never make excuses about what time the team went to bed because they got outplayed for 60 mins. Quinnipiac is a great team and that is why the team lost.
            I agree. 55 teams are full of excuses right now. I say congrats to the teams in the frozen four.

              Nate Leaman left after 1 regional.

              There is very little loyalty these days (see: Steve Alford). Coaches and players all around the country leave for better (or just different) opportunities, so I wouldn't be surprised if Bennett left for something like a Denver or Maine, should it open up. Look at what he's done in just two years...the Denver AD maybe calling him as we speak.

              That said, maybe Rick Bennett is old-school and loyal to his contract (I certainly hope he is).

                Guess I'm just an optimistic idealist. We'll just have to wait and see and hope for the best.

                  Certainly possible -- also he'd be a very nice candidate for the UConn job. I don't believe they've made a hire yet ??.... He'd get to recruit and play in HE and likely would have a bit easier time with admissions.

                    Philly Daily News reports no plans to lure Gostisbehere "at this time," but that doesn't mean it will still the case a month or two from now.

                      Maybe they'll do it in August. No worries, I won't claim victory, unlike one of the trolls in your group...

                        Sounds about right. Ghost needs more size/bulk and the Flyers have Manning, Lauridson. Kessel, and Syvret "in the pipeline"...

                            Nice season end interview of Rick Bennett by Ken Schott. He reviews the past season, postseason and looks to the between season. Also discusses candidly the possibility of Grose and Ghost possibly leaving and what he is hoping to know from them. http://www.dailygazette.com/videos/2013/apr/02/1439/

                              Most un-candidly, Schott doesn't discuss the possibility of Bennett leaving.
