Hoping that TvR recovers in time to play some in this next series, which should be a good one. I am thinking 7 games.
EDIT: on UNH-South's last visit to the Garden on March 5th, a 4-3 win for the home team, TvR got an assist and 3 SOG, Pesce got an assist, and Foegele got 2 SOG.Last edited by Snively65; 05-06-2019, 10:44 PM.

Re: UNH Wildcats 2019 Offseason - How Much Progress Did We Really Make This Past Seas
As a neutral, I'm rooting for Carolina but I frankly think the Cup is there for the B's to lose at this point.
Snively65, I'll let you skate on believing Doak was a key cog way back when. Great guy by all accounts, and I believe he owned The Epicurean restaurant in Exeter until it closed sometime back in the early 1990's? Not a big guy by any stretch, but fearless and would dive in front of any shot from any player - Bobby Hull included. But ultimately, he was a spare part who played more than 50 games in a season once (1) during his first 5 year stint in Boston, which came to an end in the '70 Cup-winning game.
He returned to Boston three years later after time in Vancouver and Detroit (his second stint there also), and ended up enjoying his most productive seasons after he turned 30, when he actually started to dress semi-regularly with the Don Cherry-era B's. But even he would tell you, he was never more than depth guy, even at his "peak". And had there not been a WHA during that final stretch of his career, it might still have been "business as usual" for Doakie, who retired shortly after the merger IIRC.
Any of you who are old enough to remember Eddie Andelman's old "Sports Huddle" radio call-in show back in the day, you'll no doubt remember the fake "Doak-A-Cola" ad they would run, with one of the guys mimicking a Canadian voice, talking "aboot how all the guys - Hodgie, Sheppie, Cashie, Cheesie" etc. would enjoy a Doak in their spare time. The B's were still the biggest show in town, even in the late '70's, and fake comic ads focused on Everyman Doak brought that home. Miss those days, a lot.Sworn Enemy of the Perpetually Offended

JVR scores in Team USA’s pre-tournament game versus Germany at the World Cup. He played much of the second half of the game on a line with Patrick Kane and Jack Hughes and will probably start the tourney with those two. Plugger that he is, I hope he can keep up...Live Free or Die!!

By the way, Dan, your recap of the USHL selections on the other thread had me researching the league last night. One shocker for me - there are exactly ZERO USHL teams here in the “State of Hockey”, my weekday home. There were no fewer than 5 USHL teams in MN in 1980, the year that “some coach did something”. I guess it speaks to the crazy popularity of HS and college hockey out here. EDIT: Gophers hockey attendance notwithstanding.Last edited by wildcatdc; 05-08-2019, 06:09 PM.Signature line intentionally left blank.
