Opponents and Others, 2021-22

I feel for Michael Regush. He was a nice player for us and obviously had some team success here. But as a grad transfer at Miami OH his team is having an awful year, and they just got swept by St. Cloud State by a combined 19-1 in two games over the weekend. Yikes.

It was his decision to transfer.

Was he in the same boat as Galadja, where he left because the Ivy League took forever to declare that he'd get an extra year?

I want to say no, since I think Regush was a year behind Galadja, but I'm too lazy to look him up.

Even then he'd still have risked losing a year.

I don't blame the guys who jumped although my god what a gut punch.  As it turned out, though... I mean, we can hardly complain with what we have in our underclassmen.

Not sure? Make an obvious mistake and you'll get the correct answer.

You are correct, Regush was a year behind Galadja.  He's now a senior at Miami.  His goal production is down significantly from his two years at Cornell.  Probably lacks the supporting cast he had here.  I guess he can skate another year as a grad student at Miami.

Man on second suuuucks. Like, start that in the 13th if you have to.

Don't worry, given enough time and leeway, somebody will always think of something dumber.

For those of us who love their smart phone, but were also happy back in the analog day, I think we can cater too much to the "have it now, digital crowd".

It's not that.  It's just the idiocy and greed that have always been there but which are now unmoored from any consequences at all after 41 years of this fucking nightmare Neofeudalism.

The kids are kids.  They're the same as all kids in all ages.  Like we were, they are neither interestingly better nor worse, just fungibles spit off the conveyor belt waiting to consume.  This isn't their fault.  It's we who laid down on the job of keeping the sociopaths at bay, and now we have billionaires in space and ads on the boards.

Rarely agree with bearlover, but yep.

It sounds like he jumped from (what he thought was) a sinking ship, onto the Titanic.   Sometimes things don't work out as you plan them.....

I don't understand Regush' history...he played two years at Cornell, sat out a year, and is now a grad transfer at Miami?

Schafer said at some point that Regush and Joe Leahy graduated early.

He had two years of eligibility left prior to last season. My guess is that, upon the announcement that the Ivy League had canceled last year's season, he decided to take extra classes to graduate early, and transferred to Miami. Why he chose Miami, I don't know. I bet he regrets the decision now. While I can't say I'm rooting for him (or any of the players who transferred), most of the fault lies with the Ivy League for (1) canceling the season and (2) waiting too long to announce the players would receive an extra year of eligibility.

Yeah, I think it's overly harsh to blame the players who decided to transfer given the uncertainly surrounding Ivy League hockey at the time the players had to make the decision.

[upprdeck]

it was not even a given they were playing this year when the school yr started.

[abmarks]

I can't blame them for transferring.   But they all made choices as to "where" they went.

Maybe there are non hockey reasons why he chose that program, who knows.   But if he was looking for a currently strong program and misjudged, that's on him

[upprdeck]

also the assumption is anyone would take him.. he was a grad transfer. he needed to go to someplace that offered the grad school classes he wanted and also wanted someone of his talent to play.
