Shame there isn't an award for most shots on goal, isn't it? Another year where Luce wins nothing. Shocking. I know I'm gutted.
Maybe your family member was a former USCHO poster? "Umiliation" was a phrase that got thrown around on here many, many times a generation ago. And truth be told, in retrospect, the wide margins and the inexplicable upsets to the Niagaras and RIT's of the world didn't help his cause. And none of those were because of a late accumulation of ENG's. If you're being objective about it ... no matter how hard you may try to advocate (as I often did), you can only explain away so much ...
Not sure if they were ever a member here. Perhaps a lurker. Or maybe they heard it at a game, as they have been following UNH hockey for over 40 years.
I do not think that any of MS7’s losses come close to the Umileation’s of the Niagara and RIT postseason losses as no one should have expected anything but losses to NU this season and to Maine in 2024.
Now you are calling people racist? Just go away. You are a piece of garbage. Even for you this is a new low.
The game was terrible. Watched it and Dartmouth had nothing. Should have been worse except for 2 posts in the 2nd that should have been goals. Dartmouth had a PAt's schedule and somehow stayed high in the rankings and RPI. The team that showed up tonight is the team that last at the Whit.
NPI is a joke and should be junked.
Should be a “C” and “A” (respectively) on their jerseys next year. Thanks for reporting this is great to hear!
So when you say some of the core that must mean some will be leaving. any insights on this?
The irony (some would call it audacity) of all this is, having seen potty's professional crew, he isn't in any position to lecture any of us on this topic ...
Whether you agree or disagree with the decision to move on from Herrion, whether you agree or disagree with the choice of Davis, the whole process was an absolute s-show. No plan, no vision, Part of me wonders if the scars of that experience have affected the searches that have followed. (Or perhaps one that hasn't)The guy hasn't exactly lit the D-1 world on fire, has he? He did a very good job at his alma mater, Randolph-Macon. But Randolph-Macon is a D-3 school.
Based on tenures at Bucknell and UNH, it very much appears he can win with someone else's players, but once it's his own guys, the program craters.

Bill Herrion Coaching Record
Based on all the available evidence, it appears Davis (like Souza and Weinrebe, both white guys the last time I checked) simply isn't ready for D-1 prime time, unless he's coaching someone else's players (and in Weinrebe's case, he even failed at that). Not surprisingly, there were more of those players at Bucknell (and for longer) than there were at UNH post-Herrion. And when someone drives any program into a ditch as quickly as Davis has at UNH, it invites a lot of questions. Some may even be uncomfortable. This time last season, and even this year before conference play, I kept an open mind on a turnaround. It's not happening (yet) ...
But Davis' job performance has been at the bottom of it all, and he has no one else to blame but himself if he can't turn things around. And based on his career to date, a turnaround does not appear to be imminent. He does have two more years left on his contract though. So at least at this point, there are indeed three (3) catastrophic hires on AD Rich's CV, all of whom have dragged their respective programs further back from past successes. You can put them in any order you'd like. Personally, I'd rank them from worst to "best" as follows (and I'm open to anyone challenging these rankings):
(1) Weinrebe - inherited perennial D-1 powerhouse under Hubbard, morphed into a losing record and out of NCAA tourney in 2 seasons. Bravo?!?
(2) Souza - inherited a program coming off a long period of national contention and a short down period, and spent a decade drilling further down;
(3) Davis - Inherited a historically mediocre program at its crest of mediocrity (4 straight non-losing seasons), rediscovered abysmal in 3 short seasons
If you think Davis' performance this past season has done anything to dispel his doubters, and you want to have an open discussion where we can act like adults, I'm game for that. That's why I'm responding to you, and not the idiot who throws around pejoratives like they are penny candy at a holiday parade ...
I think honestly the jury is still out. With the old PWR the tournament field would be exactly the same with some minor tweaks in seeding.

Not to mention two consecutive national titles in football, as they are at least on a plane with the SEC.
Well... crap... maybe...
Have hit them all since '98, I'll be there. For the record, I have Michigan/Michigan State final.
Is she tall enough to qualify?
You are complete and utter garbage. You know nothing about me or my family and to insist that I am racist is well beyond laughable. Pretty sure brother in law, who is black, would say other.
