UNH 2025 Offseason: Where in the World is MS7?

A better transition plan might have kept this team relevant, but Marty mailed it in and left us in this spot. Sununu screwed the state by lower the business and rooms and meals tax. The current governor would rather strip the state instead of revert at least some of them.

Putting the meals tax back to 9% is roughly worth $20M in revenue, which solves a lot of budget holes.
This cycle's USNH budget "hole" ended up at about $19M, of which $12M was allocated to UNH. Solved with 23 layoffs and 13 unfilled positions.

That's a small fraction of the cuts that BU just inflicted on their workforce. But our creepy Ma$$hole stalker hasn't mentioned that yet, has he?? :rolleyes:
 
You said you wanted to meet Potluck. Potluck says he has already met you. You then accuse him of stalking you.

Lefty, you are dim witted and make no sense at all.
So, without knowing who potty actually is ... how am I supposed to decide if what he claims is accurate OR another in a long line of lies?

There is even a description of the exact type of stalker both of you folks are at, right here, right now, so take a gander and digest:

Resentful Stalker – someone who feels they are the victim of an injustice or perceived humiliation, so they will target the person they feel is the voice or spokesperson for the group.

Wrap your sub-70 IQ around that one @spankyumaineoopsnh, and prove you can at least stretch it to 80, chump ...
 
Hmm....your writing style reminds me of a BC fan who posted here "way, way back in the day" (whom Chuck would remember too)....is that you, e.e. darin? ;) :)
I'd be shocked if it was e.e. darin. He's a residential loan officer for a bank down on Cape Cod, I just congratulated him on 20+ years on the job.

Why in the world would he give a rat's patooey about someone giving UNH's Mike Souza on-line crap for doing a lousy job ... at UNH??

darin (plus CHRIS!!! and mav and a few others) very cool about meeting at games, shooting the breeze. Not our potty's M.O. I'm afraid ...
 
It's just annoying to read posts by people that are frankly too cheap and stupid to properly fund their own state school complain about the poor results from their state school - whether it's academic or athletic. In general you get what you pay for in life. It's also tiresome to read the rantings from the same deadbeats arguing that SOMEONE OTHER THAN THEM should solve the problem. In other words, wealthy donors should basically fund the program. Obviously said wealthy donors ordinarily include Massachusetts residents.

If the program doesn't have the money, don't beat up the coach. The problem is with the taxpayers. UNH is a STATE school.
How much money have you personally sunk into your state school (assuming it's not UNH at this point), potty?

With two kids who graduated from UNH (with 3 degrees between them), UNH has gotten multiple six figures directly from the WIS Estate alone.

I've offered here, in full sight of UNH admin folks, to put up the money to buy out Souza, and let them pay me back with the increased concession revenue. Kind of like an interest free loan, and offered to do so at least twice. I have a meeting with our financial guy on Friday, that money will be invested elsewhere then.

You don't seem to be quite as aggrieved by UMaine relying on their own wealthy donors to balance their books. Why is that??

It's touching how you're taking on this crusade on behalf of MS7 (against me) and Conmy (norbie?), Mike told me to send you his regards :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:🤪

Stop with the logical approach and trying to explain why there is extreme skeptism. I still think Mike Hickey is here somewhere

Odd label seeings we both would not want to be around you. The only way I’d be looking for you at the Whitt is so I can make sure to avoid you. I’d hate to be stuck in a conversation with you. No doubt you are a gas bag that won’t let anyone get a word in edgewise. Probably with terrible breath, like you’ve been gnawing on a frozen shit all morning.
 
Though I will admit I did spy and get an action shot of you at the friends of UNH summer bbq…

not at all. i quite frankly don’t care about any of the things going on in this cat fight beyond a fascination like i’m watching a nature documentary. i’m merely pointing out leaps in logic like that one are ridiculous, just like the leaps in logic you also made about my intentions in your reply. those are also fascinating to dissect, mr “sworn enemy of the perpetually offended”.
So let's try one more time ... you've created a false equivalency here in the "cat fight" because one of us is here as themselves, in good faith, and one is here in bad faith, cowardly shielding themselves in anonymity while acting like a faceless nameless sniper. And your problem appears to be with me ... because I'm not savvy enough to also be here in bad faith, shielding myself in anonymity while returning fire on potty the cowardly faceless sniper?!? Have I got that right??

Before I get accused of putting words in your mouth, let me know if you agree with my assessment of the situation above or not? That's how I'm reading it, but if I'm missing something, please clarify what you meant, and how you would prefer that I handle the situation??

Now ... once we get past that, we have the current situation, where one on-line character claims s/he has "met me", and follows that with other stuff. As the reader, wouldn't you like to know how credible that person is? As the target, I know I sure would. Maybe that person HAS met me, and for one reason or another, they didn't like me. Fair, right? Totally agree. I'm not on here with the idea that everyone is going to like me, or agree with everything I say. In fact, since it's an Internet message board, it's kind of a setting that fosters debate between divergent opinions, no?? Disagreement is kind of baked into the cake. My first response to you was basically an extract taken from the 6th Amendment to the US Constitution. Check it out and see where I was going with it.

potty could solve a lot of these issues by clarifying who s/he is, and what his/her agenda might be. You don't even need to surrender your real life name to accomplish that. If you take his/her comments at face value, s/he sounds like s/he is bothered by a few things, one being that NH handles its governmental business differently than MA, and another being that s/he feels my criticism of Coach Souza, and others' criticism of certain players, has gone "over the line". potty is entitled to whatever opinions s/he wants to air, and so am I. Only one of us, though, is running around calling people names in anonymity, and as s/he has recently disclosed, "met" one of his/her targets that s/he is now assailing. Wouldn't it be nice to get a handle on the context of the prior "meeting"?

To be clear ... nothing posted on here as legitimate opinion, no matter how ill-informed or even demonstrably stupid, is offensive to me. But if folks act like putzes or pu$$ies in the way they handle their business on here with me or my friends, I will say so. And I have said so.

At least you made me laugh with two of your three posts today. FWIW I suspect we'd have a blast over a few beers. Two gas bags doing "battle" lol :LOL: 🍺🍺:LOL:

it's really not that deep, i know leaps in logic is your bit, but that one was too easy to poke through. you norbert and potluck were all escalating this to truly wacky proportions. legit flashbacks to middle school gossip wars or that one scene from mean girls. i figured the vibes of dread and misery from this thread was just pessimism but then this shit went on... wildcats indeed 😆 🤪

Let's get back to Hockey :) Check out the skill set Sam Oliver has- This may be the best incoming group the Cats have ever had. I, for one, am all in!! (Forever Optimistic)


Sam Oliver is a great get. I'm sure he was getting new interest from lots of teams but having the prior relationship put UNH to the top of the line.

Also like how all of them wore letters by the end of their junior careers.

I'm also really high on Gagnon. bro is a monster on faceoffs, wonder how it translates up a level

I am looking forward to your substack breakdown of Hockey East cinnamonroll!! The leadership piece is important, because it was missing last year.

this is a hockey site? lol....hello to all! Has been quite the summer...just back from sweltering for 3 days in Maine camping in the Sebago lake area. Looking so forward to the Fall but will most likely miss the Oct home game? as I recover from a knee replacement earlier in the month. No stairs for HR for a bit. All of that said looking forward to the upcoming season.

Sam Oliver...echoing thoughts that he could turn out to be a very exciting player prob since Potsy / Angus C. There's going to be a learning curve and am concerned about
how the Dcorps will do with the losses. I've been out of this loop it seems like forever tho and hope we can get on track to talk about what we actually have coming in to take up
those losses. Anyone with a clue please get the convo started about this, as well as the goal tending outlook....will da Whale get a run for his money with the incoming new guys?

Also heard that tickets have gone up to 35 bucks a seat in the loge...up from 27. Wonder if other arenas are jacking up their prices as well. I kind of remember back in
2013/14 season before I became a STX holder that I paid something like that before I finally figured it out I could attend a game cheaper than that (and became a STix holder).
Guess they've gotta cover the increases happening just about everywhere....esp with the cuts to the U coming. I dunno...

Just trying to generate some convo as the season is "just around the corner". Hope everyone has been well. Anyone out there that has had a TKR feel free to pm me and
tell me it's not going to be 'that bad'...ha!!!

it looks like that one will be the 3rd one i post, CCHA will be before that. i can definitely say you guys are likely in the top 4 of hockey east CHL recruiting classes. theres 4 standout CHL classes in HE- UNH, Maine, Providence, UML. will need time to sort out how they stack up against each other though

This is very interesting. So few college fans understand the CHL. I don’t know anything about the CHL other than its traditional role as the top feeder for the NHL. Do you consult with scouts to evaluate the recruits?

i noticed that gap in understanding pretty quick after the rule change, so i made my megathread in an attempt to help patch those up where i could. i watch both chl and college hockey since i began heavily following my NHL team's prospects spring 2022, so i got an impression of both paths. i also do casual draft prospect viewings, especially around the playoffs or international competitions. i find the prospect world in general really interesting so it became a side hobby of mine and as a result, am curious about how the hockey player development path will shift due to this.

i mostly use public scouting sources or my own viewings where applicable. i'm no scout though. i know a lot more about certain players as a result of only following certain teams in certain years. for example, i have watched a lot of incoming freshman D Nick De Angelis because he spent the past two years on the Sudbury Wolves with Sharks prospect Quentin Musty, while I haven't seen much of Sam Oliver w Drummondville since the Sharks didn't have any prospects in the QMJHL this year and they were upset in the first round of the playoffs. Félix Gagnon attended Sharks rookie camp and training camp as an invite in 2023 so i saw him there. some players have a lot of well-reported info, like Newcombe's cancer battle, but others don't get a ton of coverage. some of the USports transfers are really tough to get info on besides stats and years old scouting reports.

i have talked with scouts about specific questions just in twitter replies or dms, but it mostly is just my own opinion based on the info i can gather. people seem to appreciate it though, and i might as well do something with the excessive amount of prospect knowledge i end up with 😄 i find it really rewarding when im able to successfully impress upon fans of a team why they should be excited about an incoming recruit from the CHL, especially when the fanbase isn't super optimistic about their team. happened a few months ago with UVM, whose 24-25 season thread was called "does anyone even care anymore?"
