Wow, everyone is being 'objective' today! Regardless of Grasso's actual production this year, losing him is a major blow to the offense. The D and goaltending - like the team - have been an entirely different group since the first five games. Those five games represent about 25% of the season to date - the 75% since is a better indication of who this team is and has always truly been. Want to enjoy the rest of the season - check the expectations the start to the year gave you, enjoy Max and Maass, watch for the development of the young skill Fs BVR, Blackburn and Fregona (well, not Fregona I guess) and hope UNH can manage six post-season games to get Grasso into medical redshirt territory...Live Free or Die!!

I’ve said this before, but the past few seasons are so reminiscent of the last years of Charlie Holt. His last couple of teams were just not engaged. The rosters were thin and the few good players UNH had defected to the pros early. Team was lifeless, Snively was no longer lively, and everybody from the coaches, the players, to the fans seemed to be just going through the motions. Charlie retired, followed by his hand picked successor Bob Kullen. Things didn’t get much better until Kullen’s last year before his untimely death, really because UNH was getting better caliber players. The team finished .500, won a quarterfinal round at Providence, and took BC to OT in the HE semis. If UNH is to repeat this saga 30 years later, it is all going to start with having the right coach of course but, more importantly, the right assistants. Who Souza hires to replace him will tell us most of what we need to know about the future.
As for this season, they’re done. They are not improving, they are in fact regressing and, frankly, won’t be any better than they were last year. My wife and I were discussing how many of the remaining home games
we’ll go to this year. I can see 3 or 4 tops. And to think I used to get to 35, home and away.
Happy New Year all.

I have to agree with Greg on the regression piece. Despite where UML was when we beat them twice we played so much better. The Providence, Yale and RPI wins as well. The last 4 have really been troublesome....and it's not because we have a bunch of young players out there. I don't know what it is (well I have ideas but not for this board). Still ... despite my whining and outright complaining...I remain hopeful.

UNH has 34 regular season games and Grasso has played in 12 of those contests. That's 35.3%. One post season series would add at least two games and give us a Grasso percentage of 33.3%. At that point the math is as follows...
Game 37 - 32.4%
Game 38 - 31.5%
Game 39 - 30.7% (good enough? Probably not. #NCAA)
Game 40 - 30.0%Last edited by Dan; 12-30-2017, 07:54 PM.Live Free or Die!!

With this being UNH Hockey, it would be typical if the NRN stopped cold at 599, and the GRSN stopped at 39 ...Sworn Enemy of the Perpetually Offended

Re: UNH Wildcats 2017-2018 Season - The Quest Continues
Personally I felt that Chris Miller was one of the few Wildcats who played a decent game both nights. Good for him for getting that acknowledgement. A bright spot on what was pretty much a dismal weekend for the 'Cats. Right now anything is better than nothing. Go 'Cats!I'm just here for the hockey...
