It's called stretching.

Or cherry-picking, but let's not split hairs.

And as I remember, BU as well as UNH used to do this home run-pass kind of thing waaaayyyyyy back when (I'm thinking mid-'70's, and perhaps more recently as well.) I never had a problem with it -- it led to some interesting breakaways.

I only have problems with it in two scenarios: 1) when it works against my team, and 2) when my team tries it, and gives up a goal because they're playing 5x4 in the defensive zone. Other than that, cherry pick to your heart's delight.

Nah, everyone who grew up playing hockey in Greater Boston knows it's call a "hanga"

This. My whole life, it was "Keep an eye on the hangah."

I was sitting behind her in the 5th row. While I was tempted to throw an M&M at her during her 4th "Jesus on the Cross" pose, I refrained. My guess is she had 1 too many Harvey Wallbangers at Libby's before the game.

I was about 7 rows up from her. She didn't bother me much (I never blame visiting fans for supporting their team) however her antics were good for a few laughs. The best part was her walk of shame up to the concourse at the end of the game.

Yeah, they usually just wave their middle fingers around mocking the goal count or write obscene messages on paper plates. Never had any problems with anyone but the student aged fans at Lawler, in the past the few who have shown up have felt that they had to over-compensate.

p.s. Is it true that the ceiling inside Lawler is made of Jiffy Pop?

haha, I was browsing through archives and found these...

Wonder if those guys ended up wearing a cap and gown....or, an orange jumpsuit.

Sigh, is there any fan base with imagination? The whole flipping the bird thing is lower than lame (and singing along to Miley Cyrus? Ugh, I may have to rescind my annual contribution!)
Imagination - we had a player named Doug Nute. We formed a fan group called "Nute's Mutes". Whenever he did something, we'd cheer wildly without making a sound. That's thinking out of the box.

Now that's funny, and clever.

Glad you weren't in attendance when the UNH students rocked out to "Party in the USA" during intermissions last fall .

Back in those days, the games usually ended with:

But, good to see MC competing at a high level, and improving their facility. Won't see too many of those days at home anyway!

I believe this is also known as the "Paul Kariya Special".

why
?
Because Shawn had Jamie Thompson picking cherries near the far blue line?

maine also did this for a full season when Bishop could handle the puck and pass better than the current defensemen.

WOWWWWW....my buddy just texted me "your picture is on the uscho boards" and there i am....i have the blue jersey on. Proud to say i wasn't one of the ones with the obscene gestures. I tried to keep it pretty tame with my buddies at that time. I believe that was a night where UNH came down and blew us out like 7-1 or something like that.

I remember a bunch of girls would come to the game read....i was embaressed to see it and felt terrible for the guys on the ice (granted they didn't even notice it)...then again at that time she was one of about 50 students in attendance, maybe 100

Now I am wondering if I will hear the "Drive Home Safely" chant at Lawler on February 11th.

I expect that we will hear many chants that night, with a new student section and plenty of momentum going for the team I expect to hear the Volpe in good voice, though hopefully not that one.
