Never have been a Stooges fan, but if I were, I'd probably be laughing. Instead, it's like this thing where you keep wandering down this same road searching for something that you never find. That...is the Twilight Zone. Honestly? I feel badly for the team. Now I know I'll catch flack on that. They are the ones skating, that's what my husband always says, but, where is the disconnect????

I thought you were going to say you felt like William Shatner's character in the "Nightmare at 30,000 Feet" episode.

You have to look to the top, don’t you? Not able to get his teams up for a “big” game was always a criticism of Umile, looks like that trait was passed on to his successor.

I think we all know the answer to that
 
I hope Dean Dean is watching, and is choking on his lobster bisque.

Thoroughly embarrassing. Hockey is broken, and it needs fixing ASAP.

In fairness to Coach Umile, he at least got the program to real "big" games, not fake ones like this.

Couldn’t agree more, hence the quotes. Umile was a post away from winning the biggest of the bigs! I guess it just illustrates the sorry state of this program that a game against the last place team in the league would be considered “big”.

Hhmmm nope but trying to get there

Play like crap Merrimack, somehow dominated Lowell, then a stinker at Maine

I think blame goes all around. Inconsistent play is definitely on MS7 but players do need to step up
 
Part of me hopes UMaine waxes UNH again tomorrow. Just to make sure Dean Dean understands the true depth of the rot that's set in. I've been under no illusions that UMaine was heading places when they hired Barr last Spring, I just didn't figure he'd bypass UNH this early in the rebuilding process up in the Downeast. Does UNH "win" the Cupcake Cup for losing games to UMaine, UVM AND Merrimack in the stretch of just a couple short weeks? Jeezus H ...

UNH needs new people to be shopping for the groceries, in the immortal words of The Tuna.

They're all MS7's players now. There's no excuses to be made ...
 
In case you were keeping up with stats: TNH's Josh Shaw on Twitter says we are 3-11 away from the Whitt. They're now 1-5 over their last six and have been outscored 11-23 during that time. Chuck, of course I don't want to lose again tomorrow and I do wonder what/how much the Prez is aware of the situation. How can he not be? I remember being at a cook out thing a couple of seasons ago and heard from the AD 'it's been too long that we've been in it' kind of thing. They are well aware. But we wonder what the double H is going to be done about it. Ben Barre has to be pleased with his team tonight, and, given last weekend's work with UMass. I thought we were actually onto something ourselves with our UML win. Not kidding myself, but, thinking, ok, we can play when we really put our minds to it.

I better not hear ONE THING about how tough it is to play at the Alfond as a reason we stunk up the place. Not one. Because then you'd just have to say that it's tough to play at MC, BU, BC, yada yada yada. And now they wanna tear up the 'Whitt because that has become a bad place for the Wildcats to play. Man, look in the mirror.

Chuck I’m with you but here is how it will go. UNH will win 1-0 or 2-1 and everyone will forget tonight. Then be all excited to lose to MC next weekend. I just am hoping to not have a home playoff game so it costs me $0.

Id rather buy 1 ST get all benefits and buy GA. Save money and get all the deals everyone else gets

It’s hard to pay at Alfond, like it used to be hard to play at the Whit. Difference is we had talent now we don’t. It will take a philosophical change in mindset to fix this. Coach? Admissions? Who know buy something needs to. Dictator Dean only cares about fundraising and he need to go as well.
 
Well amidst all the negatives of last night Nick Cafarelli had a 3 point night...hes been playing well past couple of games. Putting on the blue rimmed glasses take away that horrible first period and we are in this one. And of course that debacle in the 5 min major (sigh that has gone viral) . But you gotta play from the first whistle and that is what Maine did.

What will UNH do to answer???
 
Can we please be respectful of President Dean? He is more than a dean and far from a dictator.

Having said that, there is something not right with this year’s team. No idea what it is, but something beyond a lack of talent/skill.

’dc - anything specific or general you can share from Wednesday? Thanks.

I agree with this...definitely something. It happens...if team chemistry is troubled, you can forget about it when the chips are down.
 
Monday morning "wishful" scenario on the UNH campus:

Prez. Dean calls Scarano to over to his office. Tells Scarano we need to make changes NOW before your successor is hired later this Spring, starting with Men's Hockey. Force Souza's hand and get him to step down immediately, name Guiliano as interim head coach and start a national search for Souza's replacement NOW.

Too ballsy you say? Read this gem from the Maine thread:

https://www.pressherald.com/2022/02/17/richard-barron-out-as-umaine-mens-basketball-coach/

Again...it's "wishful" and not likely to happen. But there's definitely a new culture afoot with our neighbors up in Orono. The question is how long does Prez. Dean want our current "cesspool" to continue to ferment?
