    UNH 2026-27 Season Let's Go 'Cats!

    THE MS7 FAREWELL TO MEDIOCRITY TOUR 2026/2027 As promised ... during this landmine landmark season, I'll be chipping in periodically with remembrances of the grate great moments we've experienced over the last decade, just to let Coach know how much he'll be missed. And with a trip scheduled...

    UNH 2026-27 Season Let's Go 'Cats!

    If this were professional sports, absolutely yes. But if it were professional sports, MS7 would have been gone years ago. With all of the budget-related grousing, I don't see where a mid-season separation is worth the effort. Unless they brought in an experienced volunteer to coach for gas...

    What a great secondary trivia question, and the answer surprised me. Kroggie didn't spend much time in the box, ever. Great posts!!

    I'll have mine in a Men's Extra Large, s'il vous plait?? (y)

    The mere concept that any Merrimack team could ever even once be overconfident in a game against UNH probably risks breaking the time-space continuum. Having said that ... this might just be that once-in-a-millennium occasion, so watch for UNH to at least make it close, if not pull a stunning...

    Grouch, can you post a link to the quote in question? I haven't seen it yet, but as I've heard about it from multiple sources, and if it's anywhere close to accurate with context added, it would be the height of being an ingrate, biting the hand that fed you, etc. Far be it from me to defend...

    McMahon's car got rear-ended and totaled after Saturday afternoon's QU game on the mean streets of Hamden CT (source MM's Twitter/X feed). Almost a metaphor for the upcoming UNH Men's Hockey season ... the punch lines sometimes write themselves ...

    Genius level call by MS7, not going first with the usual dry run exhibition game, and instead traveling down to Hamden to get waxed. Brilliant!! :rolleyes: There's an infamous European footballing chant that comes down from the terraces in situations like this, when a coach is stumbling...

    Yup ... this is one and the same guy, with a pretty impressive gift to both of his alma maters (his time at Lowell preceded their UMass affiliation). With a name that reeks royalty down in the People's Republic, I had to rule out if he was from the Hyannis branch of the family. Well done...

    NHL teams are already well into their training camps and exhibition schedules, and there's no indication that JvR has signed even a PTO, anywhere. Gotta think it's finally over. I believe TvR is currently in camp with the Penguins.

    Just read the latest in The Athletic on the ASU situation, which sounds grim and paints an ugly picture of their preseason training methods this past summer. Apologies if this is behind a paywall for readers here, I somehow got one of those "Free Trial" opportunities, hoping it carries forward...

    UNH Hockey Off Season Thread 2026

    The Hockey East preseason poll always smacks of pro-Boston bias AND recency bias, so no surprises here. FWIW Merrimack winning last year WAS a fluke. MS7 is gonna be out of a job if he doesn't get the team to the Boston phase of the HEA Tourney. I mean, if Merrimack can do it (and win it)...

    Sparkee is already in midseason form lol ... hopefully with this likely being MS7's final season, we can appoint a real D-1 coach and resurrect this rivalry where both teams were playing meaningful games against each other on a regular basis, like in the good ol' days. Seems like just...

    Barry Melrose was a former Dead Wing, won a Calder Cup (AHL) while in Glens Falls, and was a great friend to college hockey. One of the good guys.

    UNH Hockey Off Season Thread 2026

    Shocking (not) ... just the last in a growing line of B level prospects using the current UNH program as a placeholder while awaiting better options to develop. I know it was a somewhat different world back then ... but UNH rarely encountered these situations over the first 20+ years of Coach...
