Re: Merrimack College 2017-2018
Thanks for the increased font size; I'd almost forgotten which thread this was. Merrimack will never be BOSTON COLLEGE in any way, shape or form (especially in hockey). Any Merrimack fan that expects that is being foolish. That title game was incredible, but it was an aberration (that means an unusual situation not likely to happen again ) To expect them to be in the mix with BC, BU, PC, UML for a TOP 4 spot every year is ludicrous. That's not what I'm looking for. YOU say we don't have to expect 8-11th every year. What do YOU think is a reasonable expectation? 5th through 7th? 6th through 8th? Honest to God, I'd be okay if THAT was sustainable (with an occasional jump to 5th, or dare I say, even 4th?). But given that they finished 10th in a really down year for Hockey East, and they lose their top 3 scorers (using that term loosely) and 2 of their top defensemen, next year could be worse.
Agree, they botched the contract situation horribly. I would have been fine with him being here another year, and honestly was surprised he is not coming back. But is it that big a gamble? It might bite them in the behind, but maybe not. We'll see in the next 3 to 5 years.
