RE: Stars @ Roadrunners Game 5

Happy to see Paul and the boys advancing to the SC semis last night. It would have been nice to visit Nashville last month, as they are not on my usual circuit. The rest of the WJ advance scouting staff really did good work on that one. Hoping I get some consideration to spend some time in TB and/or DC to help the guys prep for the SCF.

I know you were pleased with my late season work with Grand Rapids, and although disappointed on a personal level not to get to finish my time in the organization with a trip to Nashville, Vegas or SJ, I did understand the decision to send me to Illinois, and hopefully you've found my work on the Icehogs helpful (despite the 1-3 quandary <s>you</s> we find ourselves in now). I'm building up an in-depth analysis of the Roadrunners and Stars, and hopefully <s>you</s> we will win out, and my work these last two weeks down South here will not prove to have been wasted. Thankfully, my future boss has been very patient and understanding, and I'm looking forward to a nice long vacation after the <s>Jets</s> Moose finish up their season with a huge <s>Stanley</s> Calder Cup victory.

Looking forward to the big parade in the 'Peg. Yours professionally,

MW

Excellent! Good to see that you have connections to memo leakers, Chuck.

From all indications, UNH recruiting strategy does not hinge on impressing high end kids, but sifting through older kids to find good players and an occasional player hidden in a lesser market (Stutzle). The only young players they have recruited were Commesso and Stutzle. When Souza joined in 2015, they passed when the 00s started going, they sat out the 2001s, 2002s (except for Commesso, and somewhat later in the 02 cycle, Stutzle) and now the 03s are going. So White will be hoping his scouting eye is superior so they can pick the right middle- to- older players.

But before looking at the future, we do still need two defensemen for next year.

Good call watcher. It is not for lack of trying. You are correct we surely could use another defensemen or two.

You know, speaking of being judged by results. Life occasionally reminds us that
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

I'll try to be less judgmental to others on the front line;) now, on to Taken, and as Liam says, Good Luck.

Man, would I love to have seen how well good ol' TR would have gone over with current Generation Snowflake. :)

Totally agree with you Chuck. However here is the rub. Elizabeth Warren, the patron saint of the entitled, lazy, whiny generation of which you speak claims that Teddy Roosevelt is her favorite president. However it seems to me he is the antithesis of Generation Deadbeat and you just know that if ol' TR was around today 'Liz would be railing against all he stands for.

She doesn't know her history then, which would not be a big surprise!

Of course not that important considering what else UNH needs but if UML's schedule is done ours must be pretty close. We play them once Early Nov then back to back March 1/2...

Ps can't understand what the big secret is about the schedule being released...harrumph. 🙄

Reading political opinions on this forum makes me want to throw up. As one who has two degrees in political science and has opinions galore, I ask that we stick to hockey here. Okay?

There must be a hidden message with the number of thumbs up in this post, and it is not the number of days until the puck drops for the upcoming Souzacats season. Hmmm.

If you look closely you can see the initials of the new Assistant Coach...😉

Jeez, Greg, why so tense? 'Watcher took a relevant quote from one of our most esteemed Presidents (he's up on Rushmore the last time I checked), I made an open ended comment, and some folks threw in their feedback. There's not exactly a lot of relevant UNH hockey content emanating from Durham these days. No recruiting news, no captain selections, no announcement of the new assistant coach. Should we be discussing the pros and cons of a new paint job on the visitor's locker room, or tuning up one or both of the Zambonis?? Just asking ...

Speaking of Zambonis, Milan Hejduk's house in Parker, Colorado, includes a full-size rink and a Zamboni, and is on sale for $5.2 million. :-)
 
Re: UNH 2018 Offseason- Out with the old , in with the semi new?

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone had a UNH official game puck that they would be willing to sell to me or trade for another school's puck. I have one from every other Division 1 Hockey team so I am trying to finish up my collection. Thanks in advance!
 
Re: UNH 2018 Offseason- Out with the old , in with the semi new?

I guess Greg got his wish for hockey-only content with that last one. :)
