Jacob MacDonald signs two way with Washington.  Hopefully he is fully back from the injury that wiped out most of last season

Travis Mitchell also headed to the Ducks but his deal is a two way

Quote from: stereax on July 01, 2026, 03:28:42 PMJeff Malott is going to the Ducks.

3 years, 1.85M AAV, apparently.

Is it a two way deal or NHL deal?  The Ducks lost Jeff Viel today so Malott should be able to step right into that role.

Has anyone heard if there is a Racker or Alumni game this summer?  All of my Internet searches just talk about last year's game.  Thanks

Wrong link  Did you mean this one?

Cool.  Maybe I'll try to drag the fam down for that one, since Union for senior night doesn't sound that exciting.

I don't know about anyone else but I don't go to the games to watch the opponent play.  Senior night is special regardless of the opponent or result for that matter.  Come to all of the games!!

(But if you only plan to come to one BU should be a good one!)

When was the last time the final games before winter break were non conference?  Those are usually ECAC games that first weekend in December.

Greg Miller finished his career with 98.  A rough freshman season cost him the milestone

Nice new gig....

I missed it but Sullivan Mack is back in the AHL with Hartford to finish out their season.  In three games since his recall he's scoreless.

He debuted Friday night in a loss to Suda and Worcester.  #98 on your score sheet

O'Leary recorded his third three point game of the season on Friday but Andreev earned second star of the game with two assists (he has five in two games) in Maine's win.

You take that back.  It's much nicer in the hills

Shucks.  That was a disappointing finish to a very fun season.  I would so much rather endure the agony of a close NCAA game that is a toss up than to lose a lopsided game like that.  I waited a full calendar year to hopefully get back the feeling I had during that magical run from last spring.  I can't say that I truly expected to feel like that this spring after the way they sputtered down the stretch but I was hoping for a competitive game and maybe a first round surprise.

In the end this young team just proved to not be tough enough to play against.  It was a second half of the season issue and not just evident in the Denver game.  I'm hopeful that the forward group of Hiscock, Long, Pirtle, Murray and Arsenault can figure out how to grind down the other team along the likes of a Jeff Malott.  I'm not necessarily expecting that to be how it plays out with some of their skill sets and Casey's coaching style vs Schafer's but it's a way to potentially create more offensive opportunities that start in the opponent's zone beyond winning a faceoff.

It will take time for the yearning for them to play a heavier game to leave my body after thirty years of that style.  I worry though that trying to play the same type of game as the usual Frozen Four teams is asking too much of our talent pool.  I'm willing to wait and see if they can make it happen though.  They certainly have a ton of balance from this year's freshman group.  I'm excited to see how the newcomers will fit in.  It's going to be interesting to see how Casey's role players differ from the ones Schafer used to target.

That's one pretty successful transition year in the books.  Can't wait to add to it.

Bancroft had the first multi-point game of his pro career with two assists tonight vs Seger and Grand Rapids

Grrr.  This has turned into a very pedestrian finish to the season.  I'm certainly very happy that the body of work was enough to secure an NCAA at large berth.  I'm not as happy to be heading there off of a semifinal loss.

The games against Princeton this season have all been very similar.  Princeton also held Cornell to two goals in each game.  This game was a bit maddening.  Cornell spent stretches of the game being non-existent.  The first fifteen minutes of period two were all Princeton.  That is usually when Cornell plays their best.

So many early chances to get some breathing room.  Two open nets and a breakaway with nothing to show for it.

The second and third Princeton goals were missed assignments.  I get having one defender going for the puck and not the man but you can't have two guys do it.  Can't believe that guy snuck out of that group with the puck.  It was quite a finish.  I'm disappointed that nobody picked up the guy on the back door on the go ahead goal.  He was there long enough to be noticeable.

There were very few shots off the pass.  Gathering the puck to take a shot allowed Princeton to get in position for the block.  Not sure why that aspect of the offense comes and goes as much as it does?

I understand that there is a difference when you are playing to extend your season vs knowing you have an NCAA spot locked up.  Not bringing home a third ECAC Championship means there is less to hang your hat on if things don't go well next weekend.  Hopefully there's another level these guys can get to.
