UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

[HockeyRef]

Well, Danny Tirone is not walking through that door. And, if Danny does walk through that door, he will be old and gray.

I'm betting they have their eye on someone else...

2026 Goalie recruit Eliot Seguin Lescarbeau is no longer a recruit via Heisenburg. He's having a so so year in a weak BCHL. Souza will be looking for another goalie since only Ryan Grout is committed at this time.

Sign of the times, I suppose. ESL is no longer part of the UNH program. SO disappointed that a careerful of silly quips will now go unrealized ...

There seems to be an emerging case of CDS 2.0 (Cashman Derangement Syndrome) here, is there a doctor on this thread, lol

Kudos to the 'Cats and MS7 for attaining the lofty heights of .500 after two months of play. Next weekend promises to be interesting ...

Ha! Nah, nothing to do with Cashman -- don't know anything about him, really, but he is improving things obviously, so good for him and them. Still think they are overrated, bud. Like I wrote, we'll see.

My snark around Dartmouth hockey is more about its phantom fan-base, which can't hold a candle to what we all have. I made a lot of runs to Hanover over the 35 years I lived in Thornton (next door to Snively) and farther north in Littleton. My take -- which admittedly might be outdated -- it that they are more casual/curious than commited. Hell, they don't even have a bandwagon!! I think I'll start a Go-Fund-Me so they can buy one...

And they serve their fish chowdah cold at Thompson Arena.

Bakchk20 - I think it's time you visited Thompson Arena under Cashman. But get parking early b/c Thompson Arena is actually under construction, which means parking is limited. And BTW Dartmouth raised their +$30M renovation w/ out us NH tax payers. I think you'll be surprised to see crowds as good as at the Whitt w/ a team more committed to winning. I don't post much, a year ago I posted I thought Cashman was the answer to UNH's issues. Crickets and a couple snide comments. Well - Dartmouth under Cashman has kids signing NHL contracts b/c they've developed. Last I looked the RPI/NPI for Dartmouth has been better than UNH for past couple years. 4 years ago they finished at RPI at #61. I get it, I can go back 20 yrs, chuckle at the smart, flash in the pan pretenders in Hanover. Your "take" shows you are out of the loop. Dartmouth AD has a strategy, vision, resources. And BTW if UNH wanted to go after Cashman, he's blown thru their budget, UNH is now the underfunded NH bridesmaid. Which makes my alumni head want to explode!

Thanks for the heads up. Recent UNH recruiting strategy just north of the border is reminiscent of the late 1960s when I was an undergrad and head coach Rube Bjorkman loaded up his roster with kids from Ontario and Quebec. When Rube left UNH abruptly to coach in his upper Midwest homeland, he left Charlie Holt some very competitive teams.

If you do not arrive early enough to grab one of the limited parking spaces adjacent to Thompson Arena, Dartmouth runs a very efficient shuttle bus service from a large parking lot about a mile north of campus.

One player who I think has gone overlooked this season is Dman Brendan Fitzgerald. Named HE Defender of the Week he's managed to stay out of the box and has contributed to the offense with some helpers.
Job well done Fitzy!
