Hey Chuck... I seem to recall you like Limericks... I just whipped one up, what do you think?
There once was a wildcat who hailed from DC
Turns out his swamp smells like poo and like pee
With rumpswabs and bucks
He happily dropped pucks
When nobody liked him, ’twas pot roast for he
I was...
4 forwards and 1 D this time.... Fitzgerald. It was basically a 3 on 3 and the attack was on the side with 2 forwards
UMass did seem very confident attacking deep into UNHs zone 3-3 while short handed
Without MIT and Harvard Massachusetts would be an economic shell. There isn't something magical the State of Mass did, two private institutions created an innovation eco system that is really only found in 3 places - Boston (MIT & Harvard), Silicon Valley (Stanford) Research Triangle (Duke...
Well.... yes and... UNH is currently paying for what they get
In 2008 when the Whitt was full and the team was on a run Umile made $382k. That is about $575k in todays dollars. So UNH has paid an equivalent rate when they were getting the extra about $1.5M+ in todays $$ from a full building...
OK... just rewatched Convicts vs Catholics with a friend that hadn't seen it. If you haven't seen that ESPN 30 for 30 it is great.
... and ...
There is a significant T-shirt component to the story.
If MS7 is back, wonder if a Souza Excuse Crew T-shirt would sell / work. Blue and White...
The problem is mediocrity would be a vast improvement. Mediocrity would be annually 4th-7th in Hockey East.
Mediocrity would give the "Souza Excuse Crew" some credence that the facilities had a major roll as the problem.
Mediocrity would like you to stop giving it a bad name by calling MS7's...
For the style of play the system is set up for they need goal scorers, finishers. They really don't have anybody like a John Mustard at Providence that can nail that shot high glove side just under the bar.
I think you are missing system mentality, for sizes, will and ability.
UNH tends to lack the mentality to "manufacture goals" and that goes back through Umile to Holt. UNH has always played a game that looks for pretty goals. When you have Mowers, Nolan, Krog and Bekar on one team and just...
There have be 40 Hockey East tournaments
Appearances in semifinals
No. 1: 35 - last in 2024 - 25-9 record
No. 2: 36 - last in 2025 - 19-16 record
No. 3: 28 - last in 2025 - 17-11 record

No. 5: 15 - last in 2024 - 2-13 record
No. 6: 9 - last in 2016 - 3-6...
Don't forget Brett Pesce... 3rd rounder, 66th - so high 3rd rounder (?) kinda came out of no where, Juniors in the EJHL like TVR. That 2013-14 team had 2 future decade plus NHL D men on the roster with neither in there freshman year...
This is his 11th year after 3 at UNH. He also played 7...
-Golf Tournament
-Membership dues at 3 different levels (General, Coaches Club and .... Center Ice ???)
-50/50 Ticket sales (which have gone in the tank since the friends stopped doing it)
-They were the original concession stand in Snively (that changed going into the Whitt)
-Merchandise Sales...
He was also fired by the University before the the legal system even charged him. It is also interesting that the legal charges didn't start until after McCloskey sued the University to get his job back.
I am not saying what he did was right.
I am saying the University wanted out of that...
1) I am not sure I believe the attendance numbers - place seems more empty than that.
2) my understanding is the FoH was $500k-$1M per year to the hockey program that is essentially gone now
So there are a couple things hiding in here and I know you see it and are likely being intentionally provocative.
To be aligned, politically I am a centrist and more libertarian than anything else. So minimal government overall, and that means stop legislating all sorts of things - like any...
This isn't new. Been 5 forwards on the 1st power play unit for a month anyway.
The problem is the strategy didn't change just the personnel. Still mostly dump and chase, mostly hunting for shots from the point and limited movement.
Players = deck chairs
PP Strategy = Titanic
So I am...
