    UNH 2024/2025 Goldberg Edition

    Great question. It can be a risky move, if you're not a sure fire player with an established reputation. Other players may not have a choice; lost scholarship, new coach or simply not asked back could all be factors.

    Because, most of the team graduated and scholarship money is scholarship money. Just because you enter the portal doesn't mean there is a guarantee another team wants you...

    UNH 2025 Offseason: Where in the World is MS7?

    What are you talking about? This was discussed...the ice, the goal pegs and the overall lack of experience the rink crew had managing the facilities. Hell, Chuck and I even discussed this in person during Friday's doubleheader. With HockeyRef. As did virtually every other fan in the arena or...

    UNH 2024/2025 Goldberg Edition

    If memory serves, Serino and McCloskey were making the trip out to BC long before it was en vogue for the big schools in Boston and Minnesota to do so. Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery...

    I have to remind myself that MS7 was a third round pick...

    I doubt MS7 has the authority to do so on his own accord.

    UNH 2024/2025 Goldberg Edition

    It was over when the lame "I Believe in UNH" chant and banner was introduced. It also could have been Waste Management's "sponsorship" of the fish. Ah, the days of Zeta Chi's profane chants, witty retorts and the inevitable thumbs up and 'wooos!" from Gravalese as he did his warm up laps

    It was a glorious time, Ref. Durham was THE place to be on a Friday night, assuming you could secure a ticket.

    UNH 2025 Offseason: Where in the World is MS7?

    You're the third person who has brought that up...Assuming he would accept pennies on the dollar, I'm not sure what would be more entertaining, the team he's put on the ice or the explosive battles he'd have with the administration, the AD and the media. Certainly would be entertaining.

    UNH 2024/2025 Goldberg Edition

    Playing ability is one thing to discuss, as it is publicly discussed on countless boards and scouting forums. Character issues, personality traits and attitude aren't things that should be discussed publicly. Many of us old timers have broad networks in the hockey community. Stories and...

    UNH 2024/2025 Goldberg Edition

    I could care less about autographs or fist bumps, and haven't since the early 80s. But, kids and their parents do. 99% of UNH players go above and beyond with their interactions with fans. He clearly doesn't. Sharing any other insights into attitude issues wouldn't be appropriate in a public...

    If that is the case, why did he choose UNH to be a big fish in a small pond with mid level talent? So, he could stand out in a mediocre team?

    On Chicklets, Whitney talks about how scared he'd be coming up to Durham to play because the talent (and fans) were intimidating. Hard to believe, UNH is a cupcake team now.

    UNH 2024/2025 Goldberg Edition

    Elephant hunting is high risk I think he has a MAJOR attitude problem based on his (very) limited public interaction with fans and snarky comments made to kids looking for nothing more than a fist bump or autograph. I know I'm not alone in this assessment. The hockey community is small and...

    UNH 2025 Offseason: Where in the World is MS7?

    This has been discussed. With his dismal track record on the ice and his utter disappearance off of it, he's lucky to be paid  anything to be a Head Coach of a Division 1 hockey program.

    UNH 2025 Offseason: Where in the World is MS7?

    Tavis MacMillan out of DU, assuming UNH would pony up the salary. Two titles as a player and three as an assistant coach tells me he knows something about a winning culture. Couple that with NHL scouting experience and you have a coach with an eye for talent and a track record of success at a...

    Ideal or who UNH could realistically get and afford?

    UNH 2025 Offseason: Where in the World is MS7?

    Culture...lower expectations so the fans expect the worst and are pleasantly surprised by occasional big win?

    UNH 2024/2025 Goldberg Edition

    This isn't a glancing shot, but a testament to how loaded those teams of the late 90s/early 00s really were. Conmy can join the pantheon of great UNH players when he makes All American or even all Hockey East Team. Did you ever see those teams play? Ever watch Krog or Haydar play? How about...
