    Maybe it's time to move the emerging story about a department-wide review and the AD's future over here, seems more offseason than unfinished business ...

    Ooooohhh ... you done hurt potty's feels, norbie! He writes heap big checks to feel like an "insider", and here he is now, holding the "left out of key info" bag 😂 😂

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    This is perhaps the most interesting (and potentially encouraging) piece of news to emerge from UNH Athletics in some time. One would think there could be some wide-ranging impacts across the department, in any number of ways. Wondering out loud if this has any bearing on the future of the...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    "Mainstream" = one (1) writer beholden to his sources at each program, who will never speak ill of even the most incompetent coach. LO fecking L!! 😂 😂 "Shrink The Rink" was supposed to hold the key to a UNH Hockey renaissance, UNH gave it to him, and ... nothing changed. What's the...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    I'm glad you pointed that out, potty. The debate earlier this month got roughly 1.6K-1.7K impressions for both MM and myself apiece, and the exchange ended when I challenged Mike on his "you can choose to believe otherwise" quip regarding his purported insight into the true reasons UNH doesn't...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    I'm compelled to point out that while Plandowski was indeed a 5th round pick a few years ago (DRW), the Wings long ago relinquished his draft rights, and to the best of my knowledge never offered him a pro contract. Keep in mind as well, this is not an uncommon fate for 5th round draft picks...

    There's a glistening nugget of insight shining through in your post that bears repeating. Dan has been consistent for years in preaching on this issue. (y)

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Here's the ultimate test of the college hockey "media" and their willingness to do some real hard-hitting investigative journalism ... ... which one of the "fearless" Connollys or McMahons or NESN hack fill-in-the-blank will write the story of how one formerly prominent HEA school banished one...

    He is playing for your Idaho Steelheads, pride of the hockey hotbed that is Boise ID. (y) 🇺🇸 I'm sure the college hockey advisor/agent network has already taken note, and upgraded their assessment of MS7's developmental skills ... 😂 😂

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    I don't think an extension of the AD is going to require a public announcement. Maybe just a brief Friday afternoon press release. FWIW I do expect her to stay, unless something opens up at Princeton in the near future. As far as our libelous pal potty .... he seems happy to throw out...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Technically, I do believe there is time remaining for the school to act on the Men's Hockey HC. Realistically, with the AD in lame duck status (as we believe she is) there's no reason to think the T-Hall folks would allow her to make any "premature" termination decisions (i.e. buyouts) if her...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Sadly, I've come to accept this as (a very harsh) reality, and a clear indication that most of us fans care far more about UNH Hockey than UNH itself does. What we need is an athletic director who demands excellence from those running their programs, not just compliance (and mediocrity by...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Watching on TV, the attendance or the first semi was abysmal. Not surprising for a UMass Amherst-Merrimack game in Boston. Nigel HAS to be pulling for a BC win in the late semi. Attendance for a Merrimack-UConn HEA Final would be scary low, especially with both UConn Hoops teams progressing...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    I'm about to turn on the NESN broadcast of the Hockey East semis. This was a frequent destination for our program when Dick Umile was the head coach. It was a routine long weekend/take Friday off decision ... and it's one we haven't been able to make for over a decade (at least with UNH...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Bill Herrion was out of contract when UNH's brand new AD made the decision to sever ties and not offer an extension. Passive and impersonal - the UNH way. Probably the same way that Mike Souza's UNH career will end a year from now.

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    First, I can't imagine Jimmy T. voluntarily stepping aside so early in his DO position. Second, Souza would have to take a substantial negotiated pay cut to take himself out of the line of fire i.e. the 3rd and final year on his latest contract. UNH would likely have to extend him a few years...
