UNH Wildcats 2021/2022 - Return of the Champions of October?

[NCAA watcher]

For Watcher, in your future lines projections, are just being optimistic with Ward returning? I could make a strong argument for that.

UNH says 11 graduating seniors, so Ward seems out.

Most likely won't be til April/May before any news about who will be invited back? And we could pick up transfers? (Pure speculation and just a question noone can really answer)

[NCAA watcher]

I do wonder if we'll see some lateral transfers to the otherwise young/unproven forward lines. We'll graduate about half of the goals scored so far this year 33/67. (top returning scorer Devlin has 14 pts, followed by 8 points from Blaisdell and Cronin)

For the earlier games, I hope to eventually research and compile information on those seasons, but if you have already done so please let me know if you would be willing to share your data with me. It could probably save me a lot of time.

I only went through UNH's, after that 2019 comeback against Yale I was curious to see our number of 4 goal comebacks vs 4 goal blown leads.
It derived from a self-deprecating "oh, this is what it feels like to be on the other end of a blown 4 goal lead" after having watched us throw so many away the previous 15 years-20 years.

UNH Women's hockey loses to MC 4-1 in first round of HE tournament. First HE tourney win for MC...FWIW dept.

Hey Ref:-)

Agree it will be interesting to see how it all plays out with the remaining three games. I see a 1-1-1 in the cards!

1-1-1 unfortunately is probably enough for a home game. My guess BC splits with BU meaning they need 5 from UMass as we hold the tie breaker. Maybe STH can get free tickets having to endure a Wednesday at the Whit….

Another uninspired hire delivering the U exactly what they should have expected based on resume & further evidence why even a delayed decision on Men's Hockey is preferable to giving Scarano a chance to make another personnel decision before his retirement...

That’s what I expect. As well as the end. Maybe BC goes on an end of year run with everyone back

[norbert]

With the governor and state suggesting the end of indoor masks, does Dictator Dean follow suit or does he keep the minimally followed policy at the Whit?

Personally I don't think it matters where they play the game. If history is any guide BC is probably going to win.

[After the Whistle]

Norbert, why the Dictator Dean label? The guy is charged with protecting 10-12,000 people and try to keep them safe. Trust we all know that if a couple of students or employees became critically ill or worst, it would be him that was called to answer for this. It was a new experience, still appears to be, so when in doubt take precautions.
Also will agree that the mask wearing did fall of a bit over time. But in my opinion it picked back up recently. As we got a couple of nice size crowds the newbies appeared to be more compliment. Why make the work study kids crazy trying to do their jobs.

Disagree. Home ice matters here.

Hope I am wrong and you are correct.

Au contraire, mon ami.

Dean Dean is charged with educating the student population, and managing personnel within a budget. All staff and most of the students are adults, so they each have the right and responsibility to take care for their own safety. We sent our kids to UNH a decade ago (give or take), and it was the furthest thought from our minds that we were sending them over to be babysat as if they were infants. College is supposed to be where they learn to be adults, not extended playtime for teenagers. Also, if one of our kids were to catch the Wuhan Flu while they were students, I can assure you we wouldn't be demanding CSI-Oyster River to do contact tracing to hunt down the suspect(s) - as if it were even possible (and it isn't).

Oh, and BTW none of this was a "new experience" for folks like myself and Norbert (and e.cat and many others) who were around when the last pandemic blew out of the Orient Virus Incubator that was/is China, infecting the rest of the world. Funny thing is, back then, adults had fought a couple of wars as young adults, and didn't wet their pants at the possibility of their kids coming down with the flu. Then as now, risk resided in the elderly and infirm. Look it up and learn, it's all there.

So if you want to live your life according to "when in doubt, take precautions", knock yourself out, it's your right to live the way you want. However, it's not your right, much less the Feds, state nor UNeffingH's right to impose that standard on me, nor anyone else for that matter.

Sorry, it's nothing personal, but you were just the poor sap who hit me with the last "safety first" lecture after tolerating two full years of collective group cowardice. Rest assured, all is good between me and Dean Dean, so long as he hires the right new AD, and the aforementioned new AD fixes UNH Hockey as Job One. Not asking for much, just extreme competence. :-)
