Thanks for helping us get to the end of this thread, you Black Bears and Terriers. I am sure that Chuck's new thread in waiting will be much more upbeat.

If UNH does visit Orono for the MBPBEGAM round, which I think is a likelihood, Tirone will be coming for you, with two shut out wins this time. :-)

What he said. Put up or shut up Maine! Hope y'all will drive your tractahs down to Durham and see the spectacle unfold.

Makes you wonder. But rest assured the fan base will have none of that.

What more can the fan base do? I suppose leave the building more empty... the crowds are very pathetic now. Literally can't give the tickets away.

Exactly my point...but I think 'arena apathy' is more widespread than just us, from what I read on other boards...

Interesting theory that talented players will leave situations where they are unfairly (merit) bypassed for opportunities by less-talented upperclassmen...

Discuss - has running a once premier college hockey program like a MA HS been good or bad for UNH Hockey/Umile??

Or, like the Durham, NH, Oyster River High sports teams, other than hockey and skiing, in the late 1960s. I have never stepped inside any of those Durham schools since I left, so do not know if merit still means nothing there.

Of course it's not the same animal. Dan I would need concrete examples (besides the 15/16 season i.e. Senior checking line) of how he (Umile) has done so. If it's creating a positive family atmosphere like "we treat your kids like they are our own" personally I don't have any truck with that.

My guess is it has!

Old 599, particularly the longer he has been in Durham, has favored the seniors more and more. Even when Haydar was a freshman scoring 60 points it was "shocking" he was on the first line at all. I have been told stories the he doesn't really interact much (or speak) with the freshman (who are scared of him) and by the time they are seniors he is there coach/friend/confidant. 599 finally lost me when it became obvious that he would rather put a player on the ice that was consistently sucky rather than somebody who would flash greatness and then do something sucky.

High end talent wants to be in a meritocracy, in all walks of life.

It is another advantage with tinkering with lines during early season games. It give people a chance to show what hey can do.

Another example look at the Bruins this year vs under Claude. Claude would never be play all those "kids"... can't trust them.
