Since we are going down somewhat of a non hockey road as we await tonight's game, I'll say this about Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States. You can say all you want about him...but what you can never take away from him is his great sense of selflessness...all he's done on human rights front, all the homes he's built for Habitat for Humanity, his Nobel Peace prize. He has spent his LIFE in service to others. He has more decency in his pinkie finger than some "politicians" (who shall remain nameless and yes, I can include some Dems in this list).
Anyway, carry on.

Follow up to yesterday's the conversation with Mr. Collins, it didn't take long for him to bring up the 2002 FF loss to Maine. Twenty years later, that one still hurts.

Not that anyone asked, UNH wins tonight 3-1 because (wait for it) ... MC will be overconfident.

Originally posted by teez View PostHad to familiarize myself with how the playoffs work but I'm seeing now that if the season ended today UNH would host BC for a winner advances to the next round game. Needing to beat BC of all teams makes me groan, but feels like a winnable game given how they've looked as of late. Maybe that would send UNH into the next round with some momentum.
So we're rooting for the Terriers this weekend. After the roller coaster that was last weekend I'll be extra curious to see how UNH looks on Saturday night. After looking at the schedule this year I think it's fair to say they perform much better the 2nd night of the weekend. They lay and egg the first night, the defibrillator comes out and they seem to find life the second night.
With only one game this weekend, will they show up for it?
Here's hoping! Gooo 'Cats!! And yeah, those BU Terriers.
Ps..ATW...keep on rocking

Kept meaning to ask...is anyone going to the Frozen Four in Boston?
I missed it back in 2015 and wasn't going to miss it again. Snagged tix awhile back. I'm pumped!

There was some discussion on this on the UMaine thread. Curiously, UMaine has probably shown more discipline this year than in recent seasons, and it's been a point of emphasis, on which many of their fans are quite pleased. There has been a theory floated (to which I tend to agree) that Coach Barr changed his tactics for this weekend, and it appears they caught MS7 and his boys by surprise for sure, and by the time UNH adjusted on Friday, that game was a lost cause. But knowing what to expect for Saturday, the 'Cats were better prepared, and it led to the UNH win.
I mean, let's be honest, if there is a Hockey East program that's had a long-standing reputation for playing a soft game, it's been UNH. So if Coach Barr (or any other HEA program) is looking for a short-term edge, why not go to the well and amp up the physical play, see if it pays off, and (afterwards) rinse and repeat if it worked the first time around? I lay that 100% at the doorstep of the current and past UNH coaches; after all, the term "Mildcats" didn't come out of the ether, there is usually a large grain of truth in any quip that sticks like that, and UMaine/Barr exploited it expertly on Friday. Either MS7 and his guys are going to address the issue quickly and consistently, or it'll become a key part of his successor's to-do list.

I didn't even mention the Spanish Flu (1918-1919) which killed more than all others combined.

Didn't mention it because no one alive then is alive now, but it happened (also killed younger folks).
Keep telling yourself how unique this last one has been, 'cuz it isn't ...
