Providence College 2025-26 Official Season-Long Thread

It was an epic bust vs UNH tonight. Very nice crowd, pep band etc. Never expected to feel so deflated on a night they clinched a tie for first place in the regular season. The seats were empty when BU beat BC to hand us that result but the outright championship required one more point which going to OT would have given us. They are a better away team this year so tomorrow they should deliver the nail in the coffin and get back to winning hockey .

Very slow. Uneventful game with few penalties (surprising since Esposito was part of the crew), not much excitement. Sure, conference champs for the regular season after BC lost, and this dinged them a bit in the NPI (I still want to call it pairwise!), but with Quinnipiac and Duluth both losing, Denver winning, PC only dropped to #7.
They just looked totally out of sync on offense. Haven't seen that many offensive zone turnovers in period 2 all year, and some while on the PP. Didn't feel they were getting to the net much and how many swing and misses on shots in front of the net.
Wonder if the less practice time during the week with Nate gone (couldn't get back from recruiting trip after Vermont series) they didn't practice til Wednesday (based on what he said in his show with Mike this week). He certainly was not happy listening to his comments with Divver after the game.
Let's see of they can get back on their style on the road where they have been very good this year.

Thanks for the generous input from visiting posters, there are some classy contributors on the fan forum.
For Providence, this regular season victory was a big deal as the first ever for the school. A great story for the way they responded to their regular goalie being badly injured just before the start of the new calendar year league schedule, and the sequence of top flight conference opponents they were about to face. Instead of folding they came through that minefield undefeated and rocketed up the standings with a freshman goalie and a group of high potential skilled skaters reaching peak performance almost simultaneously. Really inspiring story of commitment and fine coaching. As of today the team is ranked #5 and locked into #1 seed for the league tournament championship and another slot in the NCAA tournament. After this Saturday’s final regular season game, it is all one and done, so exciting and terrifying at the same time. Here is hoping for fair refereeing and good health for the team. It already has been a special season, could be one of the greatest coming up.
Go Friars!

I see PC has their game on the 14th against lowest remaining seed. Did anybody find a time yet or TBA?
While I'd love to see Svedeback play on senior night, that very minor separation from teams below in the NPI feels more important. Maybe give Svedeback the third period with a comfortable lead, or first period to get the shine with starting lineup introductions. I think this team at least gets to TD Garden. Not thrilled with a potential matchup in the semis against UMass. Maine seems like they've fallen off quite a bit, UMass is almost always a tough matchup. UMass has two chances to stabilize their spot in HE, as does UConn. BU and Maine with just one game left apiece.

Looks like it might take longer.
A lot of history is gone. Let's hope it doesn't go the same route as Louies
Last night results across college hockey prove how important this game today is for PC as the Friars dropped to 7th in the NPI without even playing. It's also important for UCONN as they are barely hanging on (but still ahead of BC),
Friars haven't played since last Saturday. UCONN played on Thursday. Will be interesting to see how each comes out in the first period. Would love to see Friars jump on the Huskies from the start.
I think Leaman stays the course with Parsons in net despite it being Phillips senior night. Got to go with what got you where you are since January.
No students tonight (not that they cheer much anyway) and not sure the PEP band either, they were at the women's bball tourney game yesterday at Mohegan Sun.

I would personally like to see Svedeback get the start to recognize his commitment to stay to graduate and to encourage more of that. PC has a very good record of developing players and that is showing up nicely this year. I remember how a core group of outstanding seniors propelled the 2015-2016 team to an even better record than the National Championship team they were on from the year before, only to be derailed in Worchester in the NCAA’s by a non-call in OT that cost the game, (and I believe a case of the flu that impacted several key players). A number of those players are still active in the NHL a decade later. In addition, Phillip was actually near the top in HEA goalie stats when he was injured and having his best year to that point. I would trust the coach to understand the current aspects of his readiness, so whoever starts is fine with me.
