Re: UNH Hockey: Where Do We Go From Here....
Unfortunately, that wouldn't be unreasonable (to at least win one game), except that BC is most likely not going to go through the motions. There is lots of consternation over on the BC thread about NCAA match ups, so they are going to try to get as high as possible in the PWR (they are hoping at least top 4 so they can get a #1 seed). In short, don't expect a letdown from them because they have everything "sewn up." And that's not the way York plays it, anyway. He has them rolling at just the right time (as he always seems to), and they do NOT want to go into the playoffs on a down note.

Oh, believe me...we don't expect a meltdown...come on...you don't think we know who we are up against? Give us that much credit...it is going to take a miracle. And, I doubt UNH will go down without a fight. If they do mail it in...shame on them. If BC is the team they seem to be, they should win HE and some are speculating they could win it all. Of course, I doubt NU thought they'd get swept by UVM, but, I digress. I'm excited for our women's team!! Go Cats Go!!!!

Then again, BC may want to rest some of its better players, given that UNH has been channeling the Hanson Brothers in recent weeks

I doubt it
You want to go into post season firing on all cylinders
BC wants to be in position for seeding purposes in the regionals and losing games is not it or resting players when they’re not hurt

I don't think BC has much to worry about with UNH!

Or heck, we can always rely on the venerable Obi Wan Kenobi for help...channeling my inner Princess Leia since all other pleadings for help have fallen on deaf ears...This is our most desperate hour! Other teams have tried to help, but we have not been able to accept their gifts. We face the most formidable of foes...nowhere else to turn!!!

I DID see a tinge of blue in that hologram, though...so maybe Obi Wan Kenobi is a UNH fan...

Opportunity to carve all that new real estate into board-side boxes! Cha-ching $$$...

JFYP to "Some other teams....." but, not those turncoat black bears; cannot be trusted. Not that it matters, taking only 1 point from Ospreys, who were vulnerable to giving up all 4 points.

Re: UNH Hockey: Where Do We Go From Here....
Well I would agree 100%! See if we ever give them some help, harrumph!!! (We kind of did help them this season giving up 4
) This whole thing is reminiscent of the story about the guy who ignores warnings of a flood to evacuate. When the flood comes he's on the roof; refuses a boat and even a helicopter. Finally the guy drowns, goes to heaven and asks God why he didn't intervene. I don't have to tell you the punch line...and agree that this UML team wasn't the team they've certainly had in the past. Points were there for the taking this weekend, and a few others, sadly. Whattareyagonna do??

Yes I am an engineer..... gotta believe it’s cheaper to remove the floor, put a short retaining wall around, new pipes and ramps down. Who came up with the brilliant idea to raise the entire seating? Which begs the obvious question, why is it needed to shrink the rink in the first place ?
Yah stop blaming your inadequacies on our inadequacies !!
Re: UNH Hockey: Where Do We Go From Here....
I'm not an engineer either but some engineer determined that acceptable hydraulic forces woud likley be exceeded to lower the concrete surface, given that the current concrete sub-structure is close to or already below the water table. As an engineer, does that make sense?

While this comes as no surprise to long time followers of the 'shrink the rink' posters, this is obviously part of the reason: (from the article quoted earlier in these posts/Seacoast online)
“The Whittemore Center ice surface needs to be replaced, and the University is currently performing its final analysis,” Scarano wrote in an email this week. “Our hockey programs have interest in changing the dimensions of the new ice surface, and this is the natural time to explore that option.”
Not trying to stir up anything, but let's call this what it is..in addition to the obvious work that needs to be done, there's an additional interest involved. (always is)

Not an engineer either, but am a geologist, and read a few years ago when narrowing the rink was being discussed before the more recent compressor problems that depth to bedrock is a limitation (need for lots of dynamite, which presumably was why the floor was not sunk lower in the first place), rather than the water table, which could be grouted away in any case.
