BU and UVM?

That's what I'm thinking....Nice to see the 'Cats come back in this one. That goal by AC and what a pass from Pierson to make it happen (if I have that right). Off to Fla for a few days....going to have to miss today's game due to travel but will be paying attention on Twitter. Maybe Grasso hits 100 today? Loved his 'toe flair' at the end of his penalty shot...

Immediate hole (again) with 2 powerplay goals against, fighting uphill against a bad team.

Opponents are 28/82 on PP, 34% That's just attrocious. Previous worst during past 15 years was .22%

Well that was fun. Watched most of it on the plane. Glad to land. Hitting the nearest bar to start my Fla vacation. #NoDefense

If I were Stewie, I'd start updating my resume.......

Watching NHL game at Lake Tahoe this afternoon brought back memories of Batchelder Rink pre-1965. :-)

You do have to figure, even if MS7 does get the expected reprieve, at least one of his assistants will be scapegoated, and be forced to "walk the plank" at this rate, barring a miraculous turnaround in the program's fortunes over the next 3 weekends.

It would be tough on GS, who's the longest tenured of the 3 full time staff, and probably had designs on the top job until MS7 was tabbed as Umile's successor early on in Stewie's tenure. But if he's charged with the PK unit, that's a poor reflection. Wrong place, wrong time, etc.

This continues to look like a program whose results are underperforming for the talent on the roster. It's not a Top Four team mind you, but it should be a middle-of-the-pack team, and it's not there (again); the "quantity over quality" mediocrity of the Borek years have been flushed for some time now. MS7 has been running the recruiting for about 6 years, and running the entire show for half of that time. The results are not getting better. He keeps running Robinson out there for every game, it still feels to me like he's coaching for his job next year. IF BS+infinity is going to make a move, it should be a clean sweep.

THEN it gets interesting. Mike Ayers (now at BC) has to know he's not going to be Coach York's successor, so he'd arguably be in the mix if UNH does "business as usual" ... OR would the "nationwide search" actually finally happen if Ayers isn't their guy?

I know that's getting WAY ahead of things, but right now it appears the program is treading water, and unfortunately the water is not at the deep end, but rather at the "kiddie pool" level. Not good ...

Post game Souza goes to his usual we have to be better I have to coach better mantra. Well...then do it!! There is no way with the talent you mention we should be playing this poorly...no way. As per Mike Ayers being in the mix hmmm that would be interesting but still doubting any real change is going to happen in the foreseeable future. Guess time will tell.
