    You're not good at interpreting stats, huh? No Pooley never finished 8th. He finished 7th out of 9 three times!!! Leaman in his worse campaign as head coach at PC finished 8th out of 11 teams which is better than 7th out of 9 anytime. Leaman also has been to two Frozen Fours and won a National Championship.

    Pooley finished in 7th place 3 times and his best finish was tied for 2nd in HE. He did that once. The rest of the time it was no better than 4th, 5th or 6th.

    You've been going to PC games since the 80's but were dumb enough to bring up Pooley/ Leaman comparisons? No contest there.

      "Finishing 8th" isn't even telling the full story either. PC is #22 in the PWR a year after losing a ton of talent. Might be disappointing for you guys but it hasn't been a bad year. 16-12-6. Could be a lot worse. Zlax needs it beaten into his brain what Leaman has accomplished compared to Pooley and Army. He seems to think that PC should be a perennial powerhouse. Lofty expectations that don't fit the program's history. It is not a slam dunk, easy place to win at. You should be thankful Leaman hasn't left for another gig yet.

        Zlax is a UNH fan that somehow PC inherited on the board. I assume he lives closer to RI than Durham so we get him by default. He only speaks for himself. I think Leaman stole his girl back in the day because he seems to have it out bad for Nate. When Nate jumps to the NHL Zlax will be the happiest poster on the boards. I'm hoping UNH makes some noise so he goes back to his bread and butter.

          I really miss Hokydad. I wish he'd come back.

          The fact that you BC fans revel in the superiority of your team in an admittedly weak league leads me to believe you will be more sorely disappointed when the end comes than we will.

            Like the thread says "rebuilding the Friars". This is about the year I expected them to have with so many new players. Hell, even North Dakota had a couple "down years" in recent years but I'm sure their fans weren't acting like the program was dead. Z is like that family member that everybody laughs about because they act like a moron.

              That is very very true.
              We're playing catch up with programs in our own conference who won a non-conference game in 2 years (BC) and had had the worst National Championship meltdown in 2015 since Miami in 2009 (BU). Bad things happen to better programs than PC. There's a team in driving distance to Milwaukee with 6 national titles and an insane amount of NHL draft picks that was bludgeoned into oblivion by Ohio State.

                      If PC can keep him. I have no doubt that he'll be approached about an NHL job again in the near future. Hopefully he stays.

                            There's a really good reason why Hoky isn't around any more and because of that, I"m not going to make fun on him right now.
                            But "area clown" is on the Mount Rushmore of weird USCHO insults with "desevrings", "St, Clooud", "Darmouth" and whatever silliness was going on with Ferris State and the Dumby Barn.

                              Absolutely. The guy was a USCHO legend as far as I'm concerned. I still wish he’d come back though.

                                So true. Maine should schedule PC for while he's gone or right after he gets back. Maybe we'd have a chance against you guys!
