OK so let me clarify ... and also make it clear that I'd rather talk about other stuff, but accept that the interest in the topic comes from this being my long-term gripe ... anyway, let's start with the above as the "York thing" - which actually is a secondary issue of mine. I don't think... -
Well, there are some issues with your take here, namely with (1) the information upon which I've reached my personal conclusions has been confirmed by multiple informed and reliable sources, whose information on other items has held up in the past; and (2) I've never disclosed any specifics of what...Leave a comment:

Looking at it from MS7's standpoint ... I'd be pretty PO'ed with my own guys, coming up small in something at least approaching "big" games. And after going out on a limb and pronouncing his Captain as "the best defensive defenseman in Hockey East", he got a clown show performance...Leave a comment:

Keeping most of my powder dry, TBH I've got other things I'm focused on today ... but hopefully we'll see a better performance in Storrs. As I shared with you during the game, I thought UConn brought the intensity (and initiated the chippy play), UNH didn't match the intensity at first, and then overreacted...Leave a comment:

That's it, I'm in for tonight.

UConn's level of success against UNH is a simple function of them joining HEA during an extended down period in UNH Hockey. For that matter, it wasn't all that long ago (deep into the Umile Era) when UNH held the all-time series lead over BC. The UMaine win percentage was lower until we got past the...Leave a comment:

Worry not, Jack ... I get a sense he's still around, at least once in awhile ... just with a different look/sound, etc.
Let me say today, and leave it here ... "Bobo" was (is?) like the USCHO boards version of Led Zeppelin - clearly defined by the era in which he blossomed and...Leave a comment:

That's effing hardcore, 'Ref! If Ben Barr has someone reading us for intel, I'm sure a "get well soon" card is on its way!
It's now been two full calendar years of increasingly competitive and entertaining hockey from MS7 & Company, and it's also encouraging...Leave a comment:

I believe e.e. darin is working in the banking world down on the Cape, where he was just getting started back in the day. Word is that he spends his free time with one of the Cape League baseball teams in the summah. So he's just anothah one of us, living the dream. He had a few of his collars-up...Leave a comment:

Almost like having an extra assistant coach, and one with a great track record, too. Kudos....Leave a comment:

I'm right there with you, given my preseason predictions. Early season losses to Q and PC (2) don't look so bad ......Leave a comment:

Now that it's been over a dozen years, I think we can start taunting 'em with "2012" like we used to with "1949".
What fun we all could have had if only Milbury didn't quit, and that York guy went to Yale or Brown or Harvard ......Last edited by Chuck Murray; 01-03-2025, 11:40 PM.Leave a comment:

LOL not a "boast post" (number of BC players at World Juniors), but definitely a humble brag post!...

Not 100% certain, but I seem to recall it was a medically-induced redshirt season, Snives?...Leave a comment:

Gotta admit, it's incredibly encouraging to see you folks still haven't given up on the vaunted Harris/Walz team.
Keep them warming up in the bullpen, PLEASE?!? No way they can lose twice in a row come 2028 ...

OK so let me go back to Patrick Foley, the two year Captain (and IIRC a rare A as a soph too) when UNH won their two consecutive Hockey East tourney titles early in the century, and made it to the Frozen Four back-to-back as well. He's a kid who was recruited out of the USNDP not so much as a slick...Leave a comment:

Agree, and apologize for taking liberties with "in the stands" ... but the fact does remain Foegele (a prized recruit with NHL draftee status) was skating on bottom six forward assignments up to that point, and with the MacDonald/Smith/Gaudreault *juggernaut* soaking up way more time than...Leave a comment:

My two cents ... it's been almost a decade since the debacle of the UNH players picking another 4th liner as an outright C (I believe Sweeney is an A?), and while I have far less of an issue with putting an A on a fourth liner than a C, I think the basic issue is that a fourth line A is someone who...Leave a comment:

He must have been bored. Boredom will sometimes drive men to do crazy things, Snives ......Leave a comment:

Great. Nigel is a closet figure skating aficionado. Could've earned my respect for a monster truck rally, but nooo ..........Leave a comment:
