Looks like the english language, or at least the ability to compose it in an email was the next to go.

Hey gang want a few laughs? Follow @mpedone on Twitter as Little Umile the Bobblehead takes in the Frozen Four! First few tweets are a hoot. Kinda like the "elf on the shelf" 😉

I can’t believe I’m out here in Minny for work (as usual) and I have zero motivation to hop in the car and head to the Xcel Center.

UNH Malaise, I suppose

EDIT: Go Blue!

So how did UNH not get Hughes? Didn't they say both his parents played for UNH (or was Melrose wrong - or did I misunderstand)?

Jack is still uncommitted! One can dream.

Ellen was one of our SAE “little sisters”. Really good egg, went on to do some commentary for ESPN as well. Think she might have dated Craig Janney while she was at UNH, but I might be misremembering.

Foegele got another goal to end his first regular NHL season with 3 points (2G + 1A) in 2 games. Why cannot we get players like dat?

JvR finished regular season with personal high 36 goals, and now has chance to end Bruins' surprisingly good season, until the last two weeks anyway.

If the Bruins don't start playing better (not chasing the game like they have) he (JvR) just might...They really miss Brandon Carlo right now. I think it will be a great series...

They played over their heads for quite some time. Then injuries and fatigue finally caught up with them. Hopefully they can recharge and get back to their earlier form...

Trust that Chuck is paying attention so that he can bookend the final post on this thread.

Not too concerned about "final post" honors. Another season comes and goes for UNH Hockey, and despite the close calls and good times the program has experienced during most of the Coach Umile era ... we pretty much start the new era where Coach Umile started his time in charge, although I'd argue we're in worse shape now than back then, when Coach Kullen's program had at least begun to turn the corner. There hasn't been any corner-turning moment I've seen yet over these last three seasons (especially), and I personally think we haven't seen the program bottom out just yet. Which is hard to say when you've just finished last in the league with 1 win in the last 20-ish games.

I guess the best I can say right now is at least NICC didn't win the big one. But it's hard not to see the future holding a few more first time D-1 title holders before UNH is back in that mix again.

Just waiting now for the news leading up to and at the season-ending banquet on the captains and assistant coach.

Ciao, Coach Umile. Thanks for all you did. Only wish you'd heeded our cautions on repeating Coach Holt's ending.

I make a motion that Chuck's post is a fine thread-closing summary. Do we have a second and third to the motion?
