@CHHoodlum @FriarsHockey Hope so but I’ll be in South Dakota so beating ND with their fan base would be sweet. Likely one of the few Friars fans in the arena so I’ll be on my best behaviour. But if watching on TV you’ll hear me!

@CHN_AdamWodon It’s tough when Hrabal steals games, and tonight the tables were turned. Congrats to the grittiness of Merrimack, and they certainly deserve to play for Hockey East championship…..but UMASS got beat by a goalie tonight!

Nate Leaman on being named Hockey East Coach of the Year: "I just think it's a representation of everything. Of our program, of our season...It's not about me. It represents the program and the season we had." @NBC10 @FriarsHockey

@CHHoodlum @ihateedcooley @FriarsHockey Stay positive! This team is built for a run. Thought we played a decent third period when our backs were against the wall, so lesson learned it takes a 60 minute, disciplined, four line effort. With Sawyer back we are a four line team. Fingers crossed for Albany or Worcester.

@ohara_cait13546 Providence has a total of 20 freshman and sophomores, and only 5 juniors and 1 senior. They are the 8th youngest team in NCAA this season. May I respectfully request you research facts before posting. Facts matter!

I’ve seen lots of people talking about how overwhelmingly young some teams are (specifically Providence and BU). My point is simple: how many of those young players get 60–65% of the team’s ice time, and how many are top producers with major impact? UMass has a very young, talented, well-balanced team on the ice. Every team has overturn. I think some programs are better with their strategy w/ portal and recruitment. BU has upperclassmen logging most of the ice time- still complains though after their disappointing season end. I believe “young” measured by ice time and impact.

@ohara_cait13546 Providence has one senior.

You thought UMass Hockey was done after losing ~ten veterans last year? Wrong! Coach Carvel just pulled off the fastest, most effective roster reload I’ve seen—11 massive additions through recruiting and the portal. Now ~60-65% of ice time belongs to new guys who are absolute beasts. This man deserves Coach of the Year yesterday! #COTY Meanwhile, BU, Providence, and UConn will be desperately rebuilding from the ground up for the most part. Sophomores Dell’Elce and Keenan are beasts, + the freshman class quickly became effective to round out squad. 💥 Nestrasil (did you see that goal?) Klecka, and Galanek are showing elite play— #NewMass is officially here to stay, and one constant remains= rest of the league NOT jumping for joy. 🚨 Lots to look forward to. #HockeyEast #UMassHockey #FrozenFour #COTY @UMassAthMktg @UMassHockey @vaclavnestrasil #RichterAward 🏆

@MikeMcMahonCHN How about a discussion on the impact of CHL players across NCAA. Individual performances are easy to interpret statistically, but individual teams like Providence has four line depth, in part due to CHL players. Discuss, not only teams, but league wide impacts.

@CHHoodlum @Ed_Paluch @FriarsHockey @NHL Jack was the difference in second period Saturday against UCONN. 21 saves in that period, and 10 shots were inside the house. Giving the team a chance to win in the third which is our best period statistically.

I get we’re all rah rah Friars after a big win. But 1 @hockey_east championship and the complacency of this staff goes through the roof. I didn’t see one @FriarsHockey staffer scouting the post game skate. Who knows when your next big recruit is a 35 year old accountant? #PCpuck
TheCollegeHockeyHoodlum@CHHoodlum

Hey @joelbeal99 @CoachLeaman - I know you have a game tonight but hoping your whole focus isn’t on the game. Prince and Princess Hoodlum are signed up to skate following the game. Obviously they’re both future @FriarsHockey @PCWHockey players so would love you to keep an eye out.

@Icymane18 Really??? If you think a minor scrum at end of game is a sign of aggression, or toughness, I suggest you look for net front presence, battles along the wall and driving hard to the net as traits of toughness. Just ask any scout or coach!

A small part of Hagens game that people may not know about, he isn't scared to mix it up. For his size some might fear he isn't aggressive enough. But that is not a worry, watch as he takes on a 2v1 at the end of the game. Just a minor thing but something encouraging to see.

@CHHoodlum @FriarsHockey Looking forward to coming down for some playoff hockey. Always better watching live after a beverage or two at the Abbey. Then hopefully the Regionals in Albany or Worcester. .

I didn’t realize it until I pulled into the driveway that The Hoodlum drove all the way home in complete silence last night. Just reflecting on what a great @FriarsHockey season this has been. One of the best teams to watch with all the skill and feistiness. #PCpuck #GoFriars

@CHHoodlum @FriarsHockey Slow start and they weren’t physical, which is a team strength. Friars controlled the play in the 3rd, but couldn’t get to the net. The shot chart shows 25 shots with only 7 making it to the net. UNH blocked 12 shots in the 3rd. This changes tonight. Speed through neutral zone.

Don’t believe in “good losses” to teach teams. But this may not be worst thing in the world. Shows @FriarsHockey it’s not going to be easy to get titles they want. Need to lock in and play every shift like it counts in playoffs. Few sloppy shifts can cost you. #PCpuck #GoFriars
TheCollegeHockeyHoodlum@CHHoodlum

Dissapointing loss. No urgency until late in the third. Too much individual efforts from multiple players trying to skate through everyone. Hard to be mad after the run they’ve had. Regroup and get a win tomorrow. #PCpuck #GoFriars

@CHHoodlum @FriarsHockey We are indeed Friar family, but this is my family today….minus Joel, which I’m confident is wearing red and white this morning as well.
