OMG, 6th or 9th, either way, is absolutly not good enough for this team. Unfortunately, this team is failing on 2 major fronts and 2 major fronts only! Goaltending, since the 1st of the year and coaching since mid October, Period.
Everybody has injuries, and early losses to either, pro, minor and major junior. Hell, BU lost an entire line of "sex offenders" and they actually got better! I can’t tell you how disheartening letting in a 110 foot goal at this level is to the offensive players. It steals the wind form your sails and while all these 20 something’s would never utter a bad word about CW because they as athletes are trained to know better. Any psychologist would tell you that in their minds they are saying what the *******K get this kid out of here!
I don’t want to hear who is a nice guy or not, it’s all PC 21st century BS. Simply, you can’t have a desk job in charge of what trees are going to be replaced on Mt. Ryder, what broken bricks are in the pathway from Stetson West to the Fens, and how many toilets need to be plunged in the Ell Center and then expect to pick up coaching a DIV 1 hockey team that played 8th most difficult schedule in the nation.
I blame Roby, he needs to be fired and unless all of the alumni start to complain and for me complaining means I hold back $1000 donations, they will not get the message. He could be fired simply for the **** poor performance of the basketball team, which I might add since moving to the Colonial, a real "mid major" has been unable to recruit any talent worth while in a predominantly Mid Atlantic and Southern Division. JJB was a America East graduate and Janning signed his LOI when the team was in AE. The sad thing is that the basketball team, the only team that consistently went to the NCAA tournament in the 1980’s like clockwork is in worse shape under Roby than it has ever been before.
The universities athletic programs have arguably not kept pace with it's stellar academic achievements of the last 2 decades. My guess is that this will continue until the university administration is cleared of old time patronage placements from the days when the school was a marginal part time regional university and these power brokers are effectively and efficiently replaced with hungry, smart recent grads and business leaders who refuse to accept either academic or athletic under achievement at any cost.
