It would take this UNH team a month to score as many goals as that one did in 60 minutes....

... and sadly, that is not an exaggeration. I was there too FWIW. To build on the theme, you might even be able to say that game drew as many fans as UNH draws to the Whitt in a given month now.
 
Yes a ton of scoring but a rather depressing game. We would have thought that we were clearly the better team, jumped out early and then gave it up 4-3 first period, then 3 quick ones and I remember thinking “we got this one” but no, they came back strong.
Those early River Stones did have great attendance, but then it died down (perhaps as we did).
And Chuck, have you been to a game this year? Attendance has not been all that bad, look around HE and I’ll bet we are 3rd or 4th. Cheering is decent and the crowd appears to into it. Yes they report more than are there but I have to believe it is tickets sold not fannys in the seats. Financially that helps but practically they should want real fans.

Yup. The novelty wore off, and the Monarchs asserted their local market dominance. Plus UNH pretty much ceded the market and in the end, regularly full buildings in Manch AND Durham were half full. Hard to believe the now-SNHU Center is almost functionally abandoned - lacking a regular sports tenant after the ECHL Goon Monarchs left town - after less than a generation ...

Haven't been to a game in two years, and miss it all a LOT. Especially the tourneys (HE & NCAA) which seemed routine and never-ending not all that long ago. Going to the two soccer tourney games across the street last month reminded me what we're missing out on with the hockey program now. Hoping the new AD makes restoration of the hockey programs Job One.

Hey for fun yesterday as an added note I traveled with another UNH hockey fanatic to Portland ME to watch Patrick Grasso play v the Maine Mariners. He was happy to see us and played well starting the game and getting an assist (had a hattie last week). ALSO on his team was Jake Rzcek and Joeseph Masonius. Both decent DMen (esp. JM) but boy the crowd did not like him lots of on ice chirping. I know alot of people don't consider the ECHL that great but I think the hockey is decent enough (too many fights maybe?) and it gives guys a place to continue to play. Mariners have a few Blackbearson their team like J.D. Greenway and Patrick Shea. Made for a fun afternoon and got a few raised eyebrows about our UNH jerseys HA!

"Too many fights?" Heresy, I say!! That's the 'Coast's raison d'etre ... :-)

The Stones were never great, but had good attendance (even great attendance at the free concert in Altamont). Since then, they have just been going through the motions, living on reputation.

Never has so much money and hype been generated, with such modest talent.

Mick has proven to be a genius businessman, gotta admit though ...

Agree with the sentiments here. They’ve grown on me over time, but I’d never put them in the top echelon of creative or musically-gifted greats.

I saw them once (Maracana, again!), and I do have to say they put on a hell of a show for a group of septuagenarians!
 
In case you can't handle the fact there's no UNH hockey this weekend, UNH commit goal tender Tyler Muszelik will play in these HE games....

If I wanted to see a live band whose best work was 50+ years old, had a brief resurgence in the '80's, and lacked any real musical virtuosity, I'd go see The Kinks before bothering with The Stones.

I've seen The Who, ELP, Deep Purple, Rush, Page-Plant (missed Led Zep live, much to my eternal chagrin), The Police, and numerous others, including probably five different versions of frickin' Foghat as a warm-up band for other bigger acts. They would all mop the floor with The Stones live. I also saw Rod Stewart once (with an old GF) back in the day, and as best as I can tell, the only differences between Rod and The Stones are (1) Rod stocked his touring band with talented LA studio musicians, and (2) Rod's concerts probably drew way hotter chicks. :-)

The only musical performer more overrated than The Stones would be Jimmy Buffett. FACT.

Bring it on, Buffett "fans" (if anyone out there would dare admit to it) ... ;-)
 
Went to alma mater tonight to watch Caps coach son Peter play...great NESAC game with PSU losing in the last 2 minutes of the game on 2 quick Weslyan goals...kind of cool tho! I recognized the name immediately and wondered if he was indeed his son. Good player!

Big boy, too. Just the type that would slide easily into a reliable low-key gig in the 'Coast ... but with his dad's pedigree, I suspect his future lies in coaching or in some front office capacity somewhere. Good luck to him.

Yes, for sure! Would be interesting to see UNH play PSU...like you've said Chuck have some kind of NH tournament of sorts at the SNUH. I'm going to watch (internet) our recruit Tyler M play today; have heard he's going to be (or has the potential to be) one of the best goal tenders we've had come down the pike in awhile...his teams playing BU today and MC tomorrow as I mentioned.

Not sure what the definition of "awhile" is but the last few goaltenders haven't set the bar too high.
