Bumping this thread back to page one with a question: what bad luck are you referring to? Because they received quite a bit of good luck last postseason.

Think I meant to say despite the 'Cats season they would find a way to get back to the Garden but it doesn't come off that way! And yes we most certainly did...

Just a heads up that Friday's BU game is 8:30 pm, as it is being broadcast on NESN.

To answer Chuck's trivia question, as apparently everyone else is baffled, or too disinterested to reply, Borek arrived at UNH for the 2002-2003 season. So, he experienced one of the great years of UNH men's hockey.

Weird coincidence, Borek also became an assistant with Lake Superior in 95-96, and experienced their last 30 win season.

It is??? Good thing I checked here. I literally just blocked my calendar to leave early to make the drive. Now I can disregard!

Thanks for reminding us of that; I wanted to put this up here today. Thinking getting to Libby's by 4 is just a wee early for me :D haha (lightweight) but will be there eventually...

I think it is just due to NESN scheduling. There is a college basketball game at 6pm, preceding the UNH hockey game, and a previously recorded 30-min show at 8:00pm (perhaps to account for any overtime from the basketball game). As a result, the hockey game is slated for the 8:30 time slot.

ASN usually just uses the game feed from other sports networks (e.g., NESN).

I find the drive from Waltham to Durham on Friday afternoons to be brutal, taking upwards of 3 hours anytime between about 3 and 7 pm (normally it is about 75 minutes). Also, I have found the best route of several bad alternatives to be I-93 to Rte 101 to Rte 125 to Rte 4.

"If there was a football analogy, we’re moving into the red zone,” Scarano said of the marketing plan. “When the trustees approved the stadium we were still deep in our own end zone :confused: if you would, but that was a landmark day. It was kind of like Tom Brady with 1:30 to go in the game and we’re down by six, it felt that way to (head football coach Sean McDonnell) and I.

“Guess what? We have a timeout in our pocket, there’s 30 seconds left and we’re in the red zone, so we’re in great shape."

Too bad we can't get John Facenda (RIP) to do the voice-over, this could have been a classic. :rolleyes:

Al Jazeera Pike reports that Collin MacDonald might return this weekend from his fractured shoulder injury.

Mac Donald was the guest on the coach's radio show the other night and said the same thing. Glad to hear that AP was out in front of the story.

The captain also said that milestones mean nothing to the head coach, so maybe that will be Pike's next hot take.

Rte 128 on a Friday night is a bear. There is no easy way to get to the North Shore never mind New Hampshire. How about Rte. 3 to 495 or is the traffic going north just as bad is it is going south? Just an FYI, from Lynn we drive 95 north to 101 in Hampton, then take 108 through Stratford and Newmarket to get to Durham to avoid the traffic on the Spaulding Turnpike on Fridays, which is brutal as well. Good luck

Agreed, avoid the General Sullivan Bridge on the Spaulding (Rte 4/16) no matter what, and Rte 101 and 108 through Stratham, Exeter, and Newmarket to Durham is a good back roads route. But, from Boston, I think taking I-93 north to Rte 101 and Rte 4 is a faster route to Durham.

Yes, but also ASN/networks broadcast a hockey double header. I'm sure there is a 6PM eastern game on ASN somewhere else in the country as well as the first half of said double header

actually, scratch that.
That was the case in past games, but after checking the schedules for Friday there is no ASN double header.
