Not following this as closely as you all, but could this be a matter of he was recruited by Schaf and Schaf  retired so he no longer wanted to come.

We're good at finding guards, not as successful with big men.

I was in the same class as John Bajusz and I recall thinking that he's really good but really good 6'2" guys are easy.  Find a really good 6'8" guy then you have something.

Quote from: David Harding on October 31, 2025, 10:53:31 PMJane's take on the game

I too think McNally does a great job. But I believe she get this totally wrong:

"The lethal Massachusetts power play — ranking top-10 in the country and operating at a 26.9 percent clip — made no mistakes. A point shot by the Minutemen was deflected just over the shoulder of senior goaltender Remington Keopple to give Massachusetts an early 1-0 lead just 1:43 into the game."

I haven't gone back to watch the replay, but my recollection is that Koepple blocked the initial shot, leaving a rebound that was roofed over his shoulder from almost no angle.

Edit: Looks like I also didn't have it quite right, but more right than McNally. From the recap on the Cornell site:

"UMass (6-2-0) had set the tone from the opening faceoff, drawing a penalty just 13 seconds into the game. The Minutemen capitalized immediately when Larry Keenan's shot from the point deflected off junior defenseman Hoyt Stanley's left skate, allowing Lukáš Klečka to roof a backhanded shot at the left post at 1:43."



You are correct sir. If I recall, backhand roof. Deadly shot. Hard to blame RK.

I'm looking for Barron's scoring to increase this year. His role on the team seems solid and secure and maybe some of the skill will now show.

O'Brien surprised me, I honestly thought he might be fighting for a lineup spot, but I guess this doesn't necessarily mean that he won't be.

Good for Jack. He's a senior and perhaps needed a senior in the group.

Chris Moore was and remains great.  All this talk again makes me think of Barry Leonard.  Hope he's ok.   As someone mentioned above, I think Jason gets the gig on merit.  I like Grady, but I love Jason.  And Tony better than Tim.  Sadly, unlikely that he'll do road games.  Loved him solo on the road games.  That's challenging

It has gotten a lot better.  20 years ago at least half were students.  Including that one Yale girl who... well...

True.  I'd almost rather have students because they are either embarrassing but entertaining or diamonds in the rough.  I recall WHRB pbp student who was terrific.

Quote from: TrotskyI really like Grady and of course will always love Tim.  But if we had to pick survivors I am glad to go with Jason and Tony, partly on merit* and partly as a reward for grinding with us forever.

* Tony is truly a gem IMO.  Much like Johnny Pierson, the Bruins' intermission analyst from bygone days, he is able to pick up on extremely subtle things during play and often has insightful commentary.  Tim is a joy but he is kind of like Ron Darling: adorable but there for the feels, not his acumen.

Agree

The notion that Pierre McGuire is worse than the local ECAC announcers was certainly one of the crazier views expressed on this forum lately

Of course he's not worse.  Most of the ECAC announcers are rank amateurs.  I just don't like McGuire.  We've been extraordinarily lucky to have real pros
