    In other news, Motzko said the team has engaged a volunteer goaltending coach to replace Justin Johnson, who returned to his alma mater, the University of Minnesota. The new addition is Michael Ayers, a 29-year-old former New Hampshire goalie whose career topped out with 28 games in the AHL -- most recently with Norfolk in 2006-07. A native of Higham, Mass., now in Minnesota, he was a sixth-round pick of the Chicago Blackhawks in 2000. He also played briefly in Sweden in 2007-08. Husky fans will better remember Ayers as the Wildcats goalie who stopped 35 of 37 shots to beat SCSU 5-2 in the 2003 NCAA Tournament.

    Thought you guys might be interested in this.

    I know you guys are going to get on me for commenting on this. But you can't make this stuff up. Of all the programs to be a part of, he winds up at the "UNH of the West". Funny stuff.

    The fact that you BC fans revel in the superiority of your team in an admittedly weak league leads me to believe you will be more sorely disappointed when the end comes than we will.

        Somebody noted from seeing practices that if you look quick Burke sort looks like JVR. Not playing style just size and hair cut. I don't see it Burke looks more solid now than JVR ever did.

        I did say to people with me, Burke hit more and harder in the first period than JVR did in 2 years. There games are so different, Burke is not as fast nor as good with the puck, but Burke already knows how to uses his size.

        If they keep hitting and going to the front of the net, I think they will be OK. 3rd or 4th in hockey east, trip to boston, 20+ wins and a squeek into the NCAAs. If they get lazy, even for a game or 2, they will get into trouble.

          That was me. In my defense, Burke looked like a different player on Saturday than he has looked in practice. Understandably so, as his game on Saturday revolved around physical play, which obviously won't come out as much while scrimmaging against his teammates. Also, he was playing up on the second line in the absence of Stevie Moses which helped create more chances for him. Like others on here, I loved what I saw from Burke on Saturday and hope he gets plenty of powerplay time this year. Park him in front of that net and he can do some serious damage.

            Sislo had to be looking up thinking, "Alright coach, another big American kid, keep 'em coming".

            My first thought seeing Burke was "Wow!", second thought was that he might be the biggest forward in UNH history. Third thought was we might not have him for four years.

              UNH doesn't have a short kid this year. We always had at least one, now we have a tall roster.

                You just did make it up. Anyone who compares SCSU to UNH is ignorant. I believe I have used this word to describe you before.

                  I felt much better about the upcoming season after watching the exhibition game.

                  Burke and Block have been mentioned, but for the most part, I thought all of the freshmen looked pretty good. All of them played with confidence, which was great to see. I think UNH will have better balance on D. Hardowa should put up some points, and I think we'll see some nice breakout passes from Kostalansky.

                  Could McCarey have hit another post? I see Borisnok being pushed for ice time.

                  The returning players looked to have improved, including Kessel.

                  I'm still trying to figure out if DeSimone is a good hockey player. He's highly skilled, but he needs to put it all together. The other disappointment for me was Beck. He was beaten badly on at least one play. I've been wanting to see more of him, but with the imcoming players, I'm not sure he sees much ice this season.

                    McCarey is from the USA program dont see why he isn't getting same playing time as others , plus he sat a year , get him in the mix ,he can shoot the puck . Watcher see's but is blinded by the light, go into the light the light is good......

                      Borisenok is short. Moses and Speelman are no giants either.

                          If Thompsons 1 post and McCareys 2 posts go in the net ,Borisenok has 4pts instead of one, and he would be the player of the game.....

                            Whoa there. I didn't say anything about his play in my post, just that he is small(listed as smaller than Greg Collins and Sean Collins, 29). Borisenok could be a nice addition to an energy line.
