If so, it will be interesting to see what line he's assigned to and who sits out.

I hope, at least initially, he'll slot in on the second line with Engaras and Kelleher - giving UNH its best bet for a deep and consistent top-six...
 
Time for rants! :smiley emoji:

Rant #1 - At this point, UNH will be lucky to be able to play 5 games this season. :eek emoji:

Rant #2 - Can someone please explain to me why Denver is ranked #14 with a 3-6-1 record?????? :angry emoji: :rolleyes emoji:

I'll be the wild eyed optimist here and set the over/under at 12.5 games

Rant #2 - Can someone please explain to me why Denver is ranked #14 with a 3-6-1 record?????? :angry emoji: :rolleyes emoji:

Because it's Denver, and Denver is a perennial power that gets the benefit of the doubt

As if any poll has any relevance or importance whatsoever this season, eh Scott?

Not surprised...UNH is likely under quarantine until after the first of the year.

12.5 games is the over/under, huh, Chuck??? I'll take 7. And not one puck-drop-second more. :D

It would seem, based on events to date, the smart money will be on the under.

Going against form (and my cynical side), I'll take the over. We'll see.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone. 2021 is almost here ...
 
Guessing it's "kids being kids"? I've said it before, and I'll say it again ... I don't hold it against the kids, they're being held to an unnatural standard of behavior, for something that poses virtually zero risk to them and 99.99% of those surrounding them.

The fault-finding, cackling Karens out there will look back in shame on this someday.

NOT directed at you BTW Norbert ...

It just makes no sense that they can’t protect themselves. The NHL had zero in the bubble with hundreds of players why can’t 25 get through this.

didn’t think it was directed to me. I’d say even with one positive test kids day of and let them play if negative.

At this point even if they get 12 games in its kind of a joke of a season

It's hard to say anything informed when so little in the way of detail is being released to the public. You literally don't know if it's one kid or a half-dozen kids, one positive test or dozens or re-tests, etc. I don't want specific names (understand privacy) but some non-specific data would be nice to know. And seeing as it's not being provided, then I err on the side of blaming the program, not the kids.

I honestly don't know why I even bother caring at this point ... in less than a generation, not only has UNH managed to kill the goose that laid the golden eggs, it's now frying those eggs AND the rest of what used to be a great thing that brought pleasure (and pride) to a lot of folks in this neck of the woods. The Rise & Fall of UNH Hockey, 25 years from the construction of The Whitt to the institutional cowardice that's turning The Whitt into the Seacoast's largest/only exhibition hall.

Sad.

At this point the China virus is wreaking havoc on the world. Sad? Yes! Worse than that actually. We are living in a sci-fi horror show. Top it off with political chaos! Your worst nightmare!

Okay, now that I have that off my chest, let the games resume✌️
