Being unable to beat Northeastern once in 3 tries is not good.

To be a winner in HEA not only do you have to beat a sixth place team like Northeastern once, you have to take the season series against teams them. Otherwise your BU and Maine victories are hollow.

Re: Providence - 2009-10 What is in the glass?
I 100% agree
Just like in 07/08 when UNH won the HE regular season title and lost twice to Northeastern. Northeastern was a 6th place team in 07/08.
just like in 07/08 when BC won a national championship, they lost twice to 6th place Northeastern.
makes that victory over BU awful hollow.

I don't see that type of season here. Could it happen sure. Would I love it sure! Is it going to happen nope. I love your opptimism. I wish you'd tell us what flavor Kool-Aid to order.

You are too funny. Winning a national title cures a lot of ills, doesn't it. Pleae tell us when you expect that from the PC team.

Re: Providence - 2009-10 What is in the glass?
About the same time and as many as UVM, Northeastern, UNH, U Mass, U Mass Lowell, Merrimack have won.
Just like I was a fan of Red Sox when they were down on their luck and just like I was 5 years ago when no one went to watch Bruins and Celtics. Amazing what a genius Doc Rivers became over night....

Re: Providence - 2009-10 What is in the glass?
Correct me if I am wrong, but the Celtics were able to make trades. Last time I checked I don't think we have that option.

Lowell has 3 and Merrimack has 1. Just because they are Division II doesn't mean they're not national championships.

Scott, logic? Seriously, you have been following this, you should know better.

No, a division 2 championship 100% does not count. I agree I have said a few things with little associatd logic but please, a D 2 championship?? Come on, you cant be serious

Re: Providence - 2009-10 What is in the glass?
Does DII even exist any more? We might win that by dint of being the only team?
I shouldn't post these things: someone at PC might think it's a good idea and will help save money to make sure our basketball team has snazzy new uniforms to finish last in the Big East in...

And neither BC nor UNH were sitting in 9TH PLACE that year, with a losing conference record. And last I checked it's been a while since those teams were embarrassed by missing their own conference's playoffs.
THEY ALSO MADE UP THE DIFFERENCE BY BEATING OTHER TEAMS. PC HASN'T BEATEN OTHER TEAMS. HENCE THE DIFFERENCE.
You continuously make your outrageous claims taking a sample size of 2 or 3 games. You do it all the time. PC sweeps Bowling Green -- one of the worst teams in Division 1, and you're ready to proclaim PC hockey back, Tim Army a great coach, and the Friars ready to go on the hunt for the NCAAs. PC wins two games last weekend -- you do the same thing. Then you run and hide when they go through a 2 month stretch when they can't beat anyone -- and conveniently look the other way at things like statistics and records.
And again, beating BU this year isn't any great accomplishment. Anyone watching hockey THIS YEAR knows it...except you, apparently.
Reality is a *****, isn't it?

Apparently, to him, the fact that PC hasn't won an NCAA game in almost 20 years means they're just as successful as UNH when it comes to post-season performance. I mean, I'm no Wildcat fan, but at least they get there -- and often win a game or two before bowing out. Beats sitting at home not even being a lamb for the slaughter in the Hockey East Quarterfinals.

Re: Providence - 2009-10 What is in the glass?
Ask BC. They didn't seem to chipper as they walked off Fenway, a game they would have killed to have won
It is also worse for a Hockey East champion to lose 2 or 3 times to a 6th place team then a last place team do it and then beat BU and Maine.
My facts might be self serving but yours sure as hell are.
I didn't pile on when they were losing because I don't care whena team loses, its a game. You enjoy the good times and shrug off the bad ones. I let guys like you write 94 negative posts and wallow in misery.
Didn't talk about Bowling Green, mentioned Notre Dame, which isnt one of the worst programs in the country. Your the selective one that stands there 24/7 and keeps saying, BOWLING GREEN. I dont see the BC fans yapping about beating St Francis Xavier,
They beat BU and Maine, two very good hockey programs in one weekend. Your choice is to go back and talk about Bowling Green, mine is to say it was a good weekend.

Re: Providence - 2009-10 What is in the glass?
The discussion reflects the situation of the program. If you think people here were "wallowing in misery" last season or still are -- it's because the team finished 7-22-5. Not our fault what the record was. Not our fault the team is still in 9th place this season. To me, real fans discuss the good AND the bad times, not just whistle past the graveyard when the going gets tough. Speaking of which...
Of course it's just a game. So why can't you just enjoy the wins for what they are -- a couple of regular season victories that came after a two-month winless streak. Not the sign that, all of a sudden, the team is suddenly on track to make the NCAAs with all this "great young talent" and a coach who has been a bust thus far deserves Hall of Fame consideration. Your pronouncements are absolutely laughable when you "don't care when a team loses." By not paying attention to what happens in every game, not just when they win, your opinions have no context at all.
Let me ask you what is most important in the overall context of a team's season -- winning 2 games or going 2 months without winning 1?
If you want to just "shrug off" one of the worst seasons ever in the history of this program, be my guest. By your logic performance and records don't even matter, you just care about the team winning a handful of games.
But they're not "very good' THIS YEAR. You do realize that, right? BU went through a 4 wins in 14 game streak. You think that's "good"? Maine's hardly even ranked in the Top 20, for a team in the "upper tier" of the conference that's not impressive either.
Ask them what? My god man, it's a regular season game. Most teams would "kill" to win an NCAA game in March and April -- I don't think they were that broken up over losing once to BU in January (who they beat before, and can win the season series against tonight). By your reasoning, Since PC beat BU, once, and BC lost to them at Fenway, once, PC must be having a better year. Unfortunately trophies aren't handed out based on a couple of weekends in a very long season.
Your lack of reasoning continues to astound everyone here...it's certainly entertaining, even if it's for all the reasons you don't intend!
