We just lost to a D3 team, at home, on Laurentian weekend. You’re absolutely right, there is nothing more embarrassing than that. This coach has to go. Now, like right NOW!

That’s really crazy. Hopefully they pull it all together for the last 4 games of the year and give Brekke a 4 year contract for the outstanding job he’s done. Honestly he should be fired for this weekend. That’s so bad
Never said that lmao
They are a brand new team to D1 with cast-offs from other teams filling their roster. They are easily the worst roster and team in D1. I disagree with you, they are complete slouches and I'd be shocked if they bank more than 5 wins against D1 teams. Maybe Brekke managed to somehow make SLU worse lol
Yup and SLU just lost twice to them on home ice during parents weekend lol.
I feel compelled to stick up for the players that you all just continually crap all over. Standing up for the team and saying something positive is not a popular position to take among this crowd. The Friday night result was extremely frustrating - all the players would tell you that. But I would not call the team an embarassment. It is a fact that SLU completely outplayed Maryville on Friday. SLU hit 6 posts and just couldn't finish. (That's no exaggeration, I just re-watched the highlights on the website.) It should have been a blowout. However, if you let a team hang around long enough - bad things happen. And they did - a tipped flutter shot from the point was the winner. The result was unfortunate - but the Friday game actually showed some positives. (For context - Saturday the team played the game like a true exhibition game. Played everyone and rolled lines. It is, what it is.) You all seem to have a legit interest in this team. So I really don't understand why this forum has moved from reasonable criticism to just constantly demeaning the team and its players. You can be frustrated with the program's recent history - but I'd try giving this group (the players at least) a bit of support after just one game. I won't hold my breath ...

Always finish what you
I've been following this team since we were the Larries. This team makes the 70's teams look good.
Positives? We should have beaten (but didn't) a D3 team?
Sorry, but this Larry is embarrassed. What's next?
Fire Brekke!

PS Take a look at the ECAC predictive finish for this team. It's pathetic.

maybe D1 is way over the Skis for STL now

Always finish what you
But not for Maryville, apparently.
OK. About what I expected from you. Now we are calling the team pathetic for games it hasn't even played yet. I'll let you and your friends go back to being miserable together. Best regards.

Can anyone provide some sort of rationale or reason as to why SLU has fumbled everything since Marsh left? I have some family that are alums of the school and watching them spiral to what they are now has been disheartening and confusing. First they let Carvel walk after 4 stellar seasons in 2016. Apparently he wanted to stay, but negotiations were terrible and he left for his wife's hometown area of Amherst, Mass. Then they hire Mike Morris which was lazy of them and he runs the program into the ground. They then try their best to lure Eric Lang, king of the program rebuilds. Even with a massive renovation to Appleton to bring it up to the specs of many other D1 rinks in the ECAC and what I assume would be an upgrade in both pay, facilities, and institutional prestige from AIC, he chooses to remain with the yellow jackets in Springfield Mass in the lowest league at the D1 level, Atlantic Hockey. Regardless of how good he got AIC, they played in front of crickets at the Mass Mutual Center. It was also pretty well known that they paid one of, if not the lowest salaries in D1. I don't understand how St. Lawrence didn't give him a blank check and say get to work. What happened to Lang? What didn't they do to persuade him? They then go and hire their current coach who has done absolutely nothing but lose, lose, and lose. To add insult to injury, Ben Barr was not at Maine yet when they were interviewing Lang. They could have had him as well. What is going on up at Canton? How in the world have things gotten this bad to the point where it almost seems irreparable? Who do they need to get as a coach after this season to actually have some hope to turn things around? Who would want this job AND be willing to stick around for more than 4-5 years and not program hop? I am very interested to hear anyone's responses as I have not talked about this with anyone before. This forum seems like the spot where I can vent and get some ideas as to what happened.
