UNH 2020 Off-Season Thread: That Rinky-Shrinky Thang And Other Lively Banter :D

Ummm, we are not allowed to talk politics here. That can only be done with the basement dwellers in the cafe. :-)

Been there and done that and had to retreat to my safe space✌️

Good call. Never seen so many miserable people in one place in my life. Bat crap crazy.

P.S. - how did you get an icon to work? Impressed ...

So ... can we start talking about a sweep over Merrimack, and making a push to the top to at least give BC a run for "Champions of December"?

Too funny!

I gratuated to an iPhone and voila there are the icons

“Champions of December!” BC is on track. Wouldn’t that be “noice”?

Poll of the day:

Will you sign up for the Virtual Membership?

Since it is $100 but cutouts were already $50, you get Zoom calls, chance to be fan of the game, and some other raffles.

what’s next a virtual 50/50?

They already have my money for this year so this STH is out

Should clear the way for Ward to play this weekend, assuming he's not otherwise limited...

If so, it will be interesting to see what line he's assigned to and who sits out.

Edit: For UNH basketball, this also may allow Tayler Mattos, a 6'11" transfer from Bowling Green to suit up too.

I hope, at least initially, he'll slot in on the second line with Engaras and Kelleher - giving UNH its best bet for a deep and consistent top-six...

Well, that stinks. Anyone have any insight into what caused this cancellation/postponement?

Guessing Covid?

Welp, story of the season. Heard somehow connected with the Maine games but, heck, it's everywhere...trust me...I know.

Time for rants! :smiley emoji:

Rant #1 - At this point, UNH will be lucky to be able to play 5 games this season. :eek emoji:

Rant #2 - Can someone please explain to me why Denver is ranked #14 with a 3-6-1 record?????? :angry emoji: :rolleyes emoji:

I'll be the wild eyed optimist here and set the over/under at 12.5 games

Rant #2 - Can someone please explain to me why Denver is ranked #14 with a 3-6-1 record?????? :angry emoji: :rolleyes emoji:

Because it's Denver, and Denver is a perennial power that gets the benefit of the doubt

As if any poll has any relevance or importance whatsoever this season, eh Scott?
