Thoughts in watching two games on Friday in the yellow tinged SNHU which, to be frank, is now the jaundiced third cousin on the old Walter Brown Arena...
Waxing poetic on the ice quality or the net's inability to stay in place would be an exercise in futility but WTF was with the sound? Either sponsored by a hostage rescue team pumping out 140 decibles to torture visiting fans into giving up or the makers of the Cochlear Implant to drive post game hearing aid sales, the volume was obnoxiously and painfully loud.
Why does every BC fan look like a Kennedy cousin with luxurious hair, sweaters draped over their shoulders tied in a sheepshank knot and a lack of basic understanding of how the game of hockey is played. Heard one couple worthy of an Orvis catalog cover arguing over how offsides works while concurrently moaning about the lack of liquor selection.
Every Bentley fan had an earnest excitement being at the dance for the first time and can certainly hold their heads high for taking BC to the end. BC was worried and looked nothing like a team which will dance to the finals. Greg Brown and Mike Ayers looked rattled and relieved walking off the ice.
PC fans were virtually invisible with the vast majority choosing to remain outside of Cranston living their anonymous lives in the Witness Protection Program rather than watching their Friars get manhandled by DU.
What few DU fans were in the house were business like and "normal,' whatever that means.
Good to hang with HockeyRef, Chuck and Snives.
To the best of my knowledge, there were no sightings of Souza or our AD fka as SB, but there was the completely ignored UNH Season Ticket Table where fans were more likely to cancel their ticket packages than purchase new ones.
Outside the UNH logo in the ice and a smattering of jerseys here and there, one would think this game was being played in some random facility in Indiana or Missouri. Simply astounding how little relevance UNH Hockey has in the state of 2025.

How many times were you slapped across the face before you learned that lesson?Ignorant sluts prefer to be called "ladies of the night." Just thought I'd throw that out there
My mother taught me early on to mind my Ps and Qs although I did get the belt a couple of times from the grouchy nuns too.

Nuns don't like being called ignorant sluts. No wonder why you got the belt!My mother taught me early on to mind my Ps and Qs although I did get the belt a couple of times from the grouchy nuns too.
No they don't. They don't like getting snowballs thrown at them either. To be fair the nun cried and said "this is going to hurt me more than it's going to hurt you" when she gave me the belt. Go figure!
{{Did nobody get the SNL reference, as in "Jane (Curtin), you ignorant slut!", uttered by Dan Ackroyd when he used to to the Weekend Update?}}
Ackroyd should have gotten the belt

With Babbage in the portal, what other Cats do we expect to enter?
As discussed, Conmy is a flight risk, but I am also hearing rumblings about Winters and Hahn.
There are also quiet whispers from well placed sources about MS7 losing the respect of his team, with players and parents becoming more vocal about their frustration and disappointment with the direction of the program.

Yes, we all did.
I was just about to post that the line was from SNL’s third season in 1977/78 when Dan Aykroyd played James Kilpatrick and Jane Curtin played Shana Alexander in their Point and Counterpoint on CBS’s 60 Minutes. Jane’s retort was “Dan, you pompous a$$.”
Portal is heating up, with eight entries from Merrimack, including four who played in 25+ games in 2024/25 and two with 2+ seasons remaining. Whassup wid dat?
Also, as of 11:40 a.m. on March 30th, 10 entries from No Michigan, 5# each from Mich Tech and Miami, 4# from AZ State, 3# each from Anchorage and UVM, along with the expected 23+ from AIC.
Merrimack has to get under the cap
Per Grok. The portal is open 3/30-5/13 for non graduate transfers. Graduate transfer can enter anytime. Players can commit after 5/13 but must enter the portal first.
MS7 better make some hay while the sunshines is all I can say.

Also, CHN has a "Player Moves" section under the News header. Well organized/formatted and looks to be reliable...
I'm stunned...

Is there a portal for coaches? Asking for a friend...
Actually, the sun set a while ago:
"One thing I’ll add on the portal - 99% of the top names that enter already know where they’re going. “Portal season” actually started about 2 months ago for high-end guys."
