The USCHO Fan Forum has migrated to a new plaform, xenForo. Most of the function of the forum should work in familiar ways.
Please note that you can switch between light and dark modes by clicking on the gear icon in the upper right of the main menu bar.
We are hoping that this new platform will prove to be faster and more reliable. Please feel free to explore its features.
I don't think UNH has the staff to put on a regional, at least to do it the right way. And with Metcalf gone they don't have anybody with a clue how to organize things. A UNH guy with a lot of pride and he worked his tail off,
IIRC it was the BC fans on the board that got on Ayers' case more than the Maine fans. (You can't spell playoff chokers without Ayers)
Which makes BC's underachieving with him on the staff so ironic.
Remember that well. Couldn't believe how much blood was on the ice. The following night he was clearly in pain. Sometimes if he played the puck he could only keep one hand on his stick. I know the Colin Shields shot you're talking about. Believe it or not, I had the opportunity to ask Ayers...
I can still see the goal he gave up to Metcalf. Somebody would later say "that shot couldn't break glass." And they were right. Still ended up in the back of the net.
But he was an absolute workhorse the following year. Played 41 of 42 games. UNH was trying to give away the national semifinal...
Well Chuck, since you interjected the Tiki Curse into this thread, I will add a Marcia Brady/Davy Jones reference,,,
Would Tiger Beat be asking for media credentials?
Not really sure why Ayers would be stunned. NOT making the Frozen Four has been more common in his years at BC.
12 years at BC, 3 FF's. No national titles.
In the dozen years prior to Ayers, the Eagles went to 6 FFs and won 3 National Championships.
Ayers participated in as many NC games in...
Actually, the sun set a while ago:
"One thing I’ll add on the portal - 99% of the top names that enter already know where they’re going. “Portal season” actually started about 2 months ago for high-end guys."...
Sorry Chuck, have to disagree about the facility. It is a terrible place to watch a hockey game. I've felt that way since the first time I saw UNH play Dartmouth there nearly a quarter century ago.,,,but,,,,I do agree with your larger point that UNH should play more games there. However, if you...
Curious why you feel this way Chuck. I remember a lot of genuflecting on here when she hired the new basketball coach. "Inspiring choice" and "hit a home run" are among the comments that come to mind.
Hey Sparkee I have a question for you, since you obviously follow the CHL game much closer than I do (or most anyone on here for that matter.) Do you see the college game changing stylistically with the influx of these players? My thought is that the game will become a bit "heavier" if you know...
Scott, believe it or not I had the same thought when I saw that the Ivy League was not going to opt into the House Settlement. I figure when the dust settles there is going to be another round of college hockey re-alignment determined by those who want to spend and those who don't. Thought I...
For the past several seasons I have been wondering if UNH has morphed into a version of Lake Superior without the National Titles. But even Lake State has had a couple better years than UNH over the past decade. A lot of us who have been around for a while assume that because the program came...
Am I the only one who thinks this might be the last regional in Manchester? Nothing available until 2029, and college hockey could look quite different then. (Potential realignment, change in playoff format, etc.) Plus, the interest in hosting was part of the previous regime in the Field House...
Just to flesh out your post Chuck, remember the Guite-Mowers incident was during a Championship Game in November that UNH won.
UNH and Maine met six times that season. The 'Cats won the first three, the Bears won the last three. All Maine wins were at the Whitt, the final two in the HE playoffs.
