    Great point!

    The fact that you BC fans revel in the superiority of your team in an admittedly weak league leads me to believe you will be more sorely disappointed when the end comes than we will.

      Unfortunately missing this one. I have already missed one of our two home games. The new scheduling in HE sucks.

        Couple points. Umile has nothing to do with this, he knows nothing about recruiting, and delegated all of those decisions to Borek.
        This part frightens me if true and you know your stuff so ... yea this is scary.

        How can a head coach not have a say in EVERY single piece of the program?!

          Not my info, but from a Borek supporter who seems to have credible inside info.

          I get it you're a friend of Richie's and you'll defend no matter what and I admire that. Dick Umile is a admirable man, gracious, humble, and giving I won't deny that. He Parker, York and Walsh were the Mount Rushmore of HE. What I'm arguing is that Coach Umile was a great coach when he was involved in all aspects of the program. You put all the blame on an assistant coach (Borek) for the downfall of this program "after initial success". There are two perspectives here your's is that Borek stopped being effective doing his job, and mine is that Borek was effective when he had the support of the head coach. Imagine being a recruit, in your living room is York, Parker, Leaman, and Borek wooing you to come be part of their program, wouldn't you say what's wrong with this picture? I'm an elite recruit being recruited by all the elite programs and Most of the HCs from those program came into my living room and watched me play dozens of times.
          You can believe it or not what if when Borek turned in his recruiting keys he had to write who the recruits were and how to contact them and what amount of scholarship they were offered? Why would the HC of a national championship team hire sure an inept recruiter to join his staff?

          16-17 10th place
          17-18 11th place
          18-19 8th place
          19-20 9th place
          20-21 10th place
          21-22 9th place
          22-23 10th place

            UNH doesn't have some sort of in-house recruiting database? Jesus.

                  Ten times better school, Won a national championship as a freshmen on first line, has been to multiple nhl camps, has about 15 NHL teams trying to sign when season is over, will end up as all time leading scorer, leading candidate for Hobey, on and on.,

                  Guessing it worked out for him. FYI, he went to Union because of his relationship with Paul Vincent and his strong ties to Union HC. Had multiple other Hockey East offers. Both schools and programs should be happy, it worked out great for both...
                  But he did wind up playing another year of juniors, didn't he?

                  As I said earlier, whether a program like UNH could afford to defer someone like Vecchione (or LaLeggia) is a whole other question. Clearly recent history has shown they could not. And, shocking or not, these decisions regarding who to bring in and at what time were based on the recommendations of the assistant coaches. When McCloskey and Lassonde were making the recommendations back in the "glory days" no one came on here or anyplace else and criticized the decision making hierarchy. But now that they wheels have fallen off the bus, people are shocked, I say shocked, to find out that Umile was not a hands on recruiter. I knew this 20 years ago, not sure why all you experts didn't. And because I knew how Umile operated, I also knew it was incumbent on Borek to be a responsible talent evaluator which, as it turns out, he was not. And, yes, Umile should have been more engaged and, yes, if he was, he should have fired Borek. But he wasn't, and he didn't and that's why we are where we are now.

                      Oh. Did I steal your car or something? You can't make it to the polls? Tell me exactly how I "suppressed" your vote? Oh, that's right...anyone who doesn't agree with the left is a moron. How stupid of me? The first amendment only exists for those who agree with you...labels, name-calling, "racist," "misogynistic", "sexist" and every other kind of "ist." Too bad there isn't anything POSITIVE you can say about your candidate instead of just trashing the opposition...

                        Oh...I just saw that you're in Denver. You should probably go smoke some dope before you vote...maybe you'll make a mistake...it's a different story when someone attacks YOU, right? We've listened to this crap for a year now. I hope you'll still be able to afford tickets once the currency changes. Maybe you can get some gold from the hills up there in Boulder.

                                With the political tensions of late, I'm going to politely suggest to anyone who might be interested ... check out the original 1962 version of The Manchurian Candidate and notice who the "red-baiters" turn out to be.

                                Interesting juxtaposition, if placed into the context of the events of the last several months. Just sayin' ...
