Buford: You are legitimately creepy. BTW, nobody with a sex offenders bowl haircut like you should be diminishing Ed Caron by calling him "Leadfoot".

If you actually watched the game, KC had zero help.

How do you prove you were not around during the USCHO board's (and UNH Hockey's) apex years without actually coming out and saying it lol
Wait 'til we get to your "coming out party", you deluded chumbucket ...

If i remember correctly, Eddie Caron's "Leadfoot" moniker came from one of the more notorious Chestnut Hillbilly posters, CHRIS!!!!!!

First star (5 points):
Charlie Coyle - F, BUSCHO – There was no golden ticket for Charlie this time. There were no schnozberries, no everlasting gobstoppers, and if it wasn't for Rogie Wonka and a chloroform pillow - there would have even been no chocolate factory. Coyle's first taste of the BC/bu rivalry was a bitter one - a devastating 9-5 and 5-2 sweep at the hands of the Eagles that sent floods of tears through the streets of fanboy nation. Young Charlie was 'all shook up' according to an unnamed terrier teammate who happened to be at both games. Titanic, er Terrier Captain Joe Pereira, who had been secretly plotting to hand BC the wins all along, publicly agreed and was presumably disgusted with Coyle's record breaking minus 6 performance. On the bright side, Coyle was fingered for only one penalty all weekend and thus had plenty of time to be on the ice for an abominable 9 of the Eagles' 14 goals. Fun fact: that is more than either goalie allowed on their own. Coyle will now look to move on from letting down his teammates to letting down his country during the World Junior Championships.

KC did have little support. There were multiple situational hockey gaffs that certainly didn't help.
However for a goalie that plays out high to cut down angles there was a bunch of space around him for shots. It seems he was playing deeper in the net than usual, not sure what happened to cause this or if UML was simply very accurate.
There was a really nice shot by UML in the second period, through the UNH D-man legs and just inside the post, going back against the play. KC would have had very little time to pick up the puck through the screen and it was in a perfect spot that even if he had he might not have been able to reach it anyway.
“Apex years” of a college hockey chat board. Holy cow you really never did have a life. The good news? My pity for you is growing.

For folks who hadn't found this great site before 2010, you really gotta check this old fossil out. Keeping in mind, of course, that the real "Wild West" days of the board were a decade or so before that. SteveF wasn't even trolling UNH (or barely even UMaine) by 2010, and other than a hilarious late cameo from old friendA quick google search brings us on a journey down memory lane (edit - 2 pages in, and this is good reading):
The ripping on Charlie Coyle is epic, and who knew he would go on to a long and semi-productive NHL career. And of course, the old chestnut of UMassLoL just a few years before Uncle Normie and Hellebuyck removed the stank from that program (at least temporarily). Great times. RIP, SteveF.
potty, it's a shame you can't be creative ... SO many comic possibilities, but instead you insist on being a humorless Karen scold, while defending an inept UNH regime to the hilt. And that's when you're not threatening to expose trusting fellow posters with their "incriminating" DM's to your former identity. The sh!t you post on here is getting beyond tedious; maybe you should take your own advice, disappear for a bit, and come back as your old dumb cuck self?? Just sayin' ...
Whew, finally caught up. Many of us will recall from last year that Whale can’t win on Friday, and early returns indicate KC can’t win on Saturday. The solution seems obvious.
FWIW, KC didn’t do himself any favors Saturday with Lowell, but the rest of the team made the outcome inevitable regardless. But the prior Saturday, both goals were preventable. On each he had an unobstructed view, time to react, and both passed between his hand and his body (one on either side). In this particular game his vision and / or his reactions weren’t up to the challenge. You could see in his reaction to the first goal he didn’t know how it got past him. Would Whale have made those two particular saves? We’ll never know. I did think KC’s pad play was very good that night, but his hands weren’t up to the task.

UNH Men's Soccer just did your typical Titletown Tango, threatening to dethrone rivals/defending D-1 champions UVM in the AE Semis, squandering an early 1-0 lead, and then eventually losing 2-1 in the 8th minute of sudden death "golden goal" OT, in front of an enthusiastic crowd at Virtue (Signaling?) Field in beautiful Burlington VT. No big tourney invite (again) in the mail for the Wildcats this season. Coach Hubbard will be taking his NC State squad to the tourney though, with a probable at large bid. As tonight's announcers were bleating into their mics ... "The college soccer world runs through Burlington". I think I just threw up in my mouth a bit ...
... anyway, back to hockey. UNH's semi-annual trip to the eastern tip of the Rust Belt (and the 19th century Autobahn that was the Erie Canal), where we all wait in anticipation of HR's forthcoming travelogue during her pilgrimage to The Land That Time Forgot, which will hopefully feature a distracting, pain-killing trip to the nearby Dinosaur B-B-Q. I don't foresee good things after the last two weekends of coming up short against mediocre competition, so I'll make pessimistic picks, in hopes that UNH counterintuitively (and finally) finds their way north of the elusive .500 mark. Close but no cigar, sorry ...
Friday: @ RPI 3 UNH 2
Saturday: @ Union 4 UNH 2
Too many folks seem to be counting on UNH to steamroll a terrible RPI squad, but the boys from Troy have been licking their lips for a taste of creamy cupcake. Enter UNH. Then, in another All-Chauvette weekend, his former teammates pull out their intel from the last two seasons of practices, and it's a long quiet ride back to Titletown for the good guys. The "Whale Watch" will continue. Lying in wait for the following weekend, Luce whets his appetite for his annual savagery at the expense of the lone fruit to date to be borne off of Luce's prodigious coachingtree shrub, a/k/a "Dick Umile's nephew". I'm starting to feel sick (again) ...

Gm. Per heisenberg. Jesse Allecia has decommited from UNH. He's averaging a point a game in the Q and was my second best player coming in next year. We all know at this point UNH will never win anything with the current coaching staff intact. Look at the regression from players this year it's very sad. The kicker on Allecia is he's already committed to Dartmouth, that didn't take long. Another head scratcher is he's signed Kyle Hoyles and not Nico Tournas to a NIL. head scratching stuff.
Also, official information on which UNH commits have signed a “NCAA Final Aid Agreement” with a college/university (the NIL system is no longer used) is based on social media posts by the player and/or the his current junior hockey team or league.It’s only November 13th. Now that CHL players are eligible to play NCAA hockey plus a handful of ECHL “pros”, there are plenty of 3.75️, or higher, prospects available. Not to mention future transfers.

We are only graduating 6 players in the spring and 2 are Goalies. Kids that want to play right away may back out. Hard to fault the coaching staff. I think they are doing a good job this year. UNH has always played to create offense off of good defense. The Defense is still figuring things out. Chauvette will most definitely be playing Saturday vs his old team. My preference would be to see Coombs in goal on Friday night. Just my 2 cents.
So he accepted an opportunity to play D1 hockey in the Ivy League most likely for full financial aid instead of opting for UNH. Seems logical. Why are you knocking the coaches for this one?
And UNH did beat out Dartmouth by enrolling Jayden Buckwell..

So ... last time I checked, Dartmouth has been running a D-1 Men's Hockey program for many, many years now. Definitely for sure at the time the Allecia kid originally committed to UNH. Which of course means Allecia originally decided that UNH was his best D-1 option for the future. With me so far, potty??
Now we move ahead a year or two ... Allecia decommits from UNH, and in a relatively short time period, he is re-committed to Dartmouth. What changed? Here are a few things we know for sure:
- Dartmouth was (and still is) an Ivy League school
- UNH wasn't (and still isn't) an Ivy League school
- The Dartmouth coaching staff hasn't materially changed in several years
- The UNH coaching staff hasn't materially changed in several years
- The Dartmouth coaching staff is able to point to a steady upwards progression of their results, year to year (including a 4-0-0 start this season)
- The UNH coaching staff is unable to point to any upwards progression of their results, year to year (including a mediocre 4-5-0 start this season)
- UNH Men's Hockey has experienced an above-average volume of decommits during the Coach Souza era
In the end, RB is very likely correct. UNH is going to need to go in another direction in order to return to their prior level of success. MS7 has had two major changes of circumstances that offered him an excuse (or per you, an explanation) as to why his program hasn't been successful. One, "Shrink The Rink" has now failed. Two, the new Canadian Junior recruiting strategy, is not showing any immediate results, and that all told points to one thing - limited D-1 coaching ability. Advisors know that. Other coaches that interact within and around the D-1 hockey circles know that. And eventually, players and recruits know, too.
It's really not all that complicated, is it potty?!? Unless of course you have an agenda, and all arguments must be bent to jam forcibly into said agenda ...

Love this. Thanks, coach. Before Marty got hurt he was easily the best player on the ice for UNH!!
