Methinks the Grumpy UNH'er = EJ Smith = Jacques = ??????

So long as we're talking "conspiracy theories" on here, that's mine …

Waiting 'til next week (when the SCF is over, one way or the other) to trot something new out.

The working title is currently … "Confessions of a Converted Former SMT"

I've also got something else a little more long form in the works … still working through a few things.

Just marking time with my on-line pals … still 90+ days left to kill before MS7.2 kicks into gear.

Yes, good luck to Pots, hoping that he a pots a few tonight for a Calder Cup. Speaking of which, Jason Krog and Darren Haydar were key kogs on the Chicago Wolves for their Calder Cup title in 2007-2008.

There's a very interesting mix of players who've gotten their name on the Jack Butterfield Trophy …

Three straight in the Wolves' barn to win series 4-1. Maybe the 'Canes would be facing the Big Bad Blues in game 6 tonight if they had called up their Checkers impending post-season MVP when they desperately needed a few snipes against Tuukka and the B's?

Jason K is the first UNH'er to make this list...wish I had seen him play. Sure is an interesting mix. Happy for Pots!

Well I would agree with that...I'm glad we got to see Potsy play in Providence...

So happy for Pots! Someone needs to give him a shot, what could they lose? Remember he and TK starting their sophomore year and leading the country in points until the second half. BC and BU had their number by then and literally would beat him up behind the net and along the boards. Many of us speculated that he had a shoulder issue the second half as his stick work and overall scoring declined. And yes I realize we were playing conference games at that point, no easy pickins.
After being a Springfield Indians fan as a kid, we would play a game before theirs and then get free seats. My family moved to NC and I introduced my classmates to hockey at the "Coliseum". Not sure what league they were in but it was wide open, rough and tumble hockey with lots of fights.

Good stuff, ATW. TyK was a junior in the 2015-16 season, and really cranked up Pots and senior Correale's goal totals. Too bad that MS did not give their line more time on the PP ahead of seniors Smith, MacDonald, and Gaudreault the first half of the season, before MacDonald's season ended and Pots injured his shoulder.

At McCoy stadium this afternoon, for first and likely only time, where I cannot get the around-the-infield-horn ball toss thing that disses the Redwings (not your Redwings, Chuck) out of my head, thanks to Dan. :-)

Good times for UNH and Potsy:

What a duo those two were...Kelleher and Pots. Sure, that wasn't the greatest UNH season on record, but, he was a thrilling player to watch. Agree ATW...give him a chance on the big stage!

Cool story ATW!!! didn't know you were a hockey guy...will have to tell me some stories when we meet up again at the 'Whitt!!! Agree; Pots would just get mauled; there's a you tube on those take downs you can see. I'd put it up here but maybe not appropriate...anyway, he's a gifted player and his talents were certainly rewarded. I watched the game last night and got a few laughs over the 'F' Yeahs from the Checkers as they lifted the Calder Cup....
