    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Bingo, we have a winner. Cold hard truth. Having to basically re-recruit your team after every season is bad news for coaches without personality, and whose staff cannot advance their players' development for the next level. So if a Conmy, or a Sardarian, or a Dunlap or Carfagna pops ... say...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Some of us still look back fondly at the years when only the top 8 HEA teams made the postseason. Any postseason that automatically includes all competing teams renders the regular season as mostly meaningless. And feeds my derision for the Make-Believe Phony Baloney Everyone Gets A Medal...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Turns out it was a creative Bill Fitch moment while coaching the NBA expansion Cavs during the '70's, after he apparently tired of answering questions about his team's propensity for coming close but not quite closing the deal on a string of losses. Fitch would go on to coach the '81 Celtics to...

    Hope you enjoy(ed) the trip back to the swamp, dumba$$. You can run but you can't hide. I own you in ways you can only begin to imagine 😂 😂 😂

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    You forgot the "and drive in movies" part of that quote, Flag. Another casualty of our woke culture these days ... Overall, I have to say I was not impressed with BU this weekend ... and obviously the Beanpot Final was not a good start to their week either. There's a huge talent gap between...

    The logo on the alternate jerseys is taken from (I believe?) the vintage UNH Football logo. SO much better than the blah logo UNH has used for 20+ years now.

    Surprised potty hasn't arrived here yet to crow about MS7 turning things around. Must've been up late celebrating the big win, deciding to sleep in late too?!? As the prime purveyor of the "let me score first, I'll give you the SOG's" theory from way back ... if UNH scores first again tonight...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    John Leonard is currently leading his AHL team in Grand Rapids in scoring, including 26 goals in 32 games. He is morphing into the UMass Darren Haydar as a guy who is riding the cusp of NHL/AHL, as he had a fairly productive 9 game stint in Detroit as well. At 29 years old, his NHL window is...

    ... and thus in less than a generation, UNH Hockey goes from the hottest ticket in the state, with thousands of folks waiting patiently in line for table scraps, to an absolute afterthought. No more sellouts ... no more wait list ... no more Friends of Hockey ... no fawning media ... a lost...

    You read it here first ... UNH will get a win out of this weekend's series with the Terriers.

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Agreed and totally agreed. Snives, I refuse to believe a low double figure win total guarantees MS7 anything. Definitely nothing beyond being allowed to finish up his contract. The new AD basically put her trust in Souza after his 2024 charm offensive. The first two of the three seasons have...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    I read the article. It's called a "puff piece". Wrobleski is obviously appreciative of Ellen's efforts, and specific in attaching those to the US Women's program. Wrobleski also touted her ability to throw a large steak on the grill on short notice and serve it up in short order. Why didn't...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    LOL actually a pretty fair take, Darius. FWIW I don't know the guy, but my experience in general is that highly successful savant like/borderline on the spectrum males have a strong tendency towards naiveté and can easily be targeted (and then exploited) by pond scum like Epstein. Until/unless...

    There will be a rearranging of the deck chairs on the Titanic. It might work for an hour/game or two. The ship is still destined for the bottom of the sea (or HEA). :(

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Not that it matters more than anyone else's opinion, but some of us oldsters have noted the uptick in new posters this season, in a very positive way. (y) First of all, as I think I've made clear ... I don't buy the "we can't afford to buy Souza out" line that keeps seeping out into the public...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    All due respect to my good friends on here ... but if Lavins is seen in Toronto anytime soon, it will be in a Marlies' (AHL) jersey, not a Leafs' jersey. And all due respect to Lavins ... if he does somehow make it to The Show next year, it will be another sign of the Leafs' precipitous drop in...

    Well, he'll definitely have his choice of pro options, seeing that no one holds his draft rights. When you say the "Leafs are very high on him", I'm tempted to temper your enthusiasm, but I know you have some pretty good contacts in the game. I don't see "very high" for Lavins meaning much...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Agreed. This was pretty much Coach Souza's last bite of the apple, seeing that many others veered away from the Major Juniors route to let others give it a test drive. Unless he pulls off a miracle turnaround in the next month or so, it's only going to make things even more challenging with...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Why would a 56 year old woman living comfortably in suburban Detroit, with no coaching history, ever want to uproot herself to take a flyer on her alma mater? I don't think she's ever coached at a competitive level? Having said that ... if she was interested, it could be an awesome hire for...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    No doubt, UNH would be roadkill if there's a return trip to the Downeast. I got into trouble with Sparkee two years ago when I wrote MS7's pregame speech on here for the MBPBEGAM round "playoffs", and of course, UNH spit the bit (as usual) ... maybe this season, I could take a shot at Ben...
