Wyse to the ECHL:

Definitely a prediction that WIS got right ... not the end though, CDS started there, too ...

Embarassing. Men vs. Boys.

Our team is the slowest I have ever seen. There are about 4 players unable to pose any threat even if they could handle the pucks.

Reminds me of days long ago when UNH sweaters had McGinn, Chebator or Cooper (Jesse) on the back. :-)

Amazing that NU can recruit with a 1920s non-NHL sized rink. Almost makes you think.

They must really be selling the history part of the program, you know like the Ringling Brothers Circus spent time in these very same locker stalls. Come be a Husky and win a Beanpot every 30 years. Or maybe they just have a higher definition jumbotron than the Whitt that really sells to the new generation of players.

Bob Chebator was the team captain of the final UNH team to play in the old barn (Snively) in '94.

Can we get an update on UNH's HEPI after this past weekend's NU debacles?

Eddie Shore, Dit Clapper, Lionel Hitchman and Larry Pleau also shared space with the circus folks ... :-)

Having STEVE Pleau walk thru the Whitt doors would be an upgrade these days. :-)

Chebator was an Arlington GBL guy. Not the swiftest afoot, but he brought his lunch pail to every game.

BU, despite playing 7 less games than BC, is less than 0.15 percentage points behind to overtake the Eagles for first place in the standings.

Meanwhile, further south towards the cellar, the 'Cats are in danger of losing their lofty 9th place standing to Merrimack, who sit just 0.25 percentage points below them at 10th.

No comments, emojis or otherwise, are warranted at this time.

"Great moments are born from great opportunity. You Cats were born to be hockey players, every one of you, and you were meant to play Mac not once, but twice, this weekend. This is YOUR TIME. Scotty Borek's TIME is done. It's over. Now go take 4 points!"

CK: "Was it ever Scotty Borek's time, Angus?"
AC: "Who the F is Scotty Borek, Charlie?!? Scotty Bowman, I've heard of ... "

Hey, I just noticed that this rinky shrinky thread blew by 1000 posts sometime in the past week. No other thread is even close, not even the Hockey East thread. :-)

And, even a bigger lead in Views, which are like SOG, I suppose. :-)

Well then, our HEPI (Hockey East Posting Index) should put us in first place!! HANG A BANNER!!!!!

UNH "wins" 3-3, coming from a two goal deficit in the 3rd period to tie it kind of late (Crookshank), then after a scoreless OT Grasso wins in in the shootout. Robinson back in goal for the 'Cats.

A win is a win is a win ... but life-and-death with a nondescript Merrimack squad kind of tells its own story. It would still be nice if UNH could win one tomorrow night in regulation at MC.

Then we can regroup and see where the HEPI leaves things. Small unmarked bills should help.

Do we know if there is one or two more weekends of RS play??

Two more weekends.
