Re: UNH Wildcats 2015-2016 (Part Three) - Living in Interesting Times
OK, yours truly managed to get back into town tonight just in time to veer off Rte. 495 on the way home to catch the end of the game. Kudos to the folks at the Merrimack box office for giving me a pass to catch the 3rd period - and some bonus time in OT - gratis.

In return, I shall not further defame your sorry excuse for a D-1 arena further.

I've been away so long ... it was the first time I entered the "complex" through the new entrance at the front. Lost my bearings upon arrival, and ended up walking 3/4's of the way around the rink to sit amidst most of the UNH fans. Without the old Expos' hat and another 10 or so years older, it was nice to be incognito.
So enough with the fluff ... what I saw out there for the final period and a half almost made me physically ill.
I am going to take some wise advice that my elders passed along to me many moons ago, and hold my peace for the evening, and see how things look/feel on further reflection tomorrow a.m.
But if it's anywhere near what I'm feeling right now about what I saw out there ... there are some sacred cows who are going to get a roasting, and some folks on here are probably going to hate me (more) for it for awhile.
Having said that ... I'm almost despondent seeing HR's post that former DRW Stanley Cup winning head coach Mike "Big Red" Babcock was in the house, and I somehow missed out. And you folks think I have a man crush on Bazin? Heh heh, it might be the "B" thing, as the list of my favorite hockey coaches certainly includes Bowman, Babcock AND Bazin.

Maybe someday Borisenok or some other UNH "B" will take their rightful place (sorry Richie, Stewie and Souza) alongside that trio. It's always the guy after the guy who comes after THE guy anyway. Umile-Kullen-Holt ... B????-Souza-Umile.
Yeah, I've gone on for far too long tonight. Anyway, season's done after Sunday, sorry to say.
