Originally posted by Snively65 View PostHa, ha, ha, d.gerry, you got me on that one. Good game so far tonight, and Foegeli masterfully baited Pastrnak into taking a 2-min minor.
Whenever I visit the Whitt, I cruise around the foyer the long way between the first and second periods on my way from my standing position top row next to the band to join my STH cousins in one of the empty STH seats behind the UNH bench. I like to arrive early (6:15) to watch practice, but thanks for the ticket offer, 32. I will miss Lawlor on Saturday night on my way north. Spending 3.5+ hours in traffic to attend Friday games at the Whitt is a big commitment for me; yes, I want a medal, Chuck. :-)

If you ask me, Borek coaching at MC and Souza (and Stewart) coaching at UNH, tells me Coach Umile knew what he was doing when he opted against turning the program over to his ranking assistant.

Originally posted by Chuck Murray View PostListen, I have no bone to pick with Scott Borek. Actually, I've heard a lot of very nice things about him over the years. BUT … if we're looking at what he's accomplished behind the bench at the D-1 level, it's not exactly impressive. He took what was a top-shelf former D-1 championship program at Lake Superior State after the Jeff Jackson era, and managed to bring them down for a "soft landing" in a 5 year span of under .500 hockey. Then he arrived in Durham to replace Brian McCloskey as the lead assistant, and he gradually saw the program erode from its pinnacle down to a much more mediocre level by the time he left. Apparently he left when it became clear that he wasn't Coach Umile's preferred candidate to succeed him, so he snuck on over to Providence for the years after their D-1 title (another slow slide back from past glories), and parlayed that into the top job at Merrimack, where he's not making folks forget about Mark Dennehy, as he quickly has become the second best former UNH assistant to coach at Merrimack (behind the late Chris Serino).

Anyone meeting at Libby's pre-game today?
