UNH Off Season Thread 2011

I agree I would hate to see Lassonde go, think he has been under the radar for years in the teams success and can’t argue with the way he has developed goalies. He would be a huge lost. Of the 2 think Borek is the more replaceable one. He has done a good job in find the young guys and helping them develop over there years at UNH. But like you said this could be a good way to get a young guy in who could be the next head guy and maybe has some strong ties to the USHL or National Program. Would be interesting to see who they would go after, a former UNH guy and if so who?

Neither one wants to be a head coach. Lassonde has had more attractive offers than Providence in the past and turned them down so, despite being a PC alumnus, I don't see him leaving. From what I can see, he is comfortable in his own skin in Durham. He's a Seacoast native, has his group of friends (hockey and non-hockey), and truly likes what he is doing. Can't see him moving. As for Borek, really can't confirm this, but I have to guess his experience at Lake State soured him on the idea of ever being a head coach again.

Not sure what PC would do, but not my problem. Terrible program, actually terrible athletic department, at a small Catholic school populated by a student body that really doesn't care. Providence hasn't been relevant for almost 10 years. Geez, sounds like Merrimack, so there might be hope.

Thanks for posting Verizon Wireless summary; 10-10-2 overall is better than I thought, but will be happy if regular season games against BC and Maine are never scheduled there again. I ended up watching the Northeast Regionals on TV this year, not because of the cost, but because we could watch multiple games on ESPN-U and ESPN3.com in the comfort of our lounge chairs while drinking our favorite microbrews. I was happy to drop some serious money on Club seating at the Garden for the HE tourney this year, as it had been a while since I had visited the Boston Sports Museum. But, $9 for a Sam's Lager was ridiculous!

Thats great for Matt Campanale. He definitely deserves it. Hope he impresses and can stay up there with the big boys. Its great to see opportunities arising for our seniors.

reminds me of 2 seasons ago when Fritsch played for the Flyers before JVR did (if memory serves correctly) :D

Maybe Campanale can take Kessel's slot on the Islanders/Sound Tigers for a year while Blake captains the 2012 Wildcats. ;)

Not me. Absolutely solid defenseman but I never thought he'd be in the NHL. I'm glad I was wrong.

I honestly don't know. I think the players choose their captain primarily based on stuff we fans aren't privy to - what goes on in the locker room and during practices. On the ice, Kessel seems to enjoy himself, is hard on himself when he doesn't accomplish what he intended, and talks regularly with his teammates. I don't know if his teammates want him as their leader.

It doesn't matter much to me whether Kessel is the captain, assistant captain, or neither (Thompson and DeSimone had pretty good years without being either) - I just would like him to play one more season for UNH. I can't think of any downside to that.

My prediction, for what its worth:
Kessel (C) *if he returns for his SR year
Moses (A)

Kessel is too outspoken and passionate not to be the captain.
 
Re: UNH Off Season Thread 2011

Initial Reactions to Camps playing in the NHL:

It seems like the Islanders are fishing for Kessel and using Campanale as bait.
Tonight he obviously had some nerves, and was a bit timid. Overall not an awful debut.
Started getting some serious minutes until he got that penalty. At least he separated Hornton from the puck :)
Wonder if he'll make the line-up against JVR.

Yeah, I thought that he did ok, 8:21 mins, even on the +/-.

Was flipping back and forth between Bruins - Isles and Blues - Black Hawks games, where after being up 2-0, Ty Conklin lost 4-3 in OT after making 35 saves.

And, had to listen to that after-goal theme song four times that Merrimack also hi-jacked.
