i attended the event and got to talk to most of the coaches, my take away is that this will be the strongest coaching staff across the board that Umass has ever had. It seems as though we finally gave our head coach money to spend to get top talented assistant coaches, that can teach kids how to com...

What this game showed us, was that we are in big trouble next year as we do not have any talent on the bench. This team will be even worse next year. Am I missing something ? Then again, we are moving to the MAC so maybe a sub par team can compete in that league. SO great move Bamford, if you can't ...

hopefully its delayed as they figure a way to get rid of Bamford. That would be a great way to get the ball rolling into the future.

Not sure why people are not screaming to get rid of Bamford . We need to let him go and let the new athletic director hire his own man to lead the football team. Bamford is the reason our football team has sucked for so many years, he is directly responsible for the program. Why are we leaving him o...

"69MG" my bigger point is that Bamford has to go as well and let the new AD bring in his own guy. How many chances are we going to give Bamford to find the correct coach and do things to right the ship. We need to start at the top and get this program going again !!

I think we need to be ready, for another horrible year of recruiting, who is going to want to come to a team that knows that the coach is going to be fired and has an administration that does not know how to run a D1 football program. So expect another off year for recruiting, another losing season ...

it's really a quite simple question to answer...... no other school in the country wants him as an AD because he is not very good at his job, Look at the stats that was provided earlier in this chat and please don't tell me that we need to include woman's basketball into the equation. A woman's bask...

too bad the MAC doesn't have a conference for lacrosse ( not enough schools with a program ) to be a sponsored league. But I guess there is hope, now that Umass is in the MAC for other sports, maybe we can have more MAC schools add a lacrosse program and then we could have the number one team in the...

Bleed Maroon, thanks for the information, but the question I have is, if a player is in the penalty box and his team gives up a goal does it go against his plus / minus. As Makar had to lead the team in penalty minutes and at times took stupid penalties and some that were costly. So his +- was reall...

Does any one know what Makars plus minus rating was this year ? He seemed to take a lot of costly penalties . if a player is in the penalty box does it go against his plus / minus numbers ? Though I must admit he did play good in the hockey east playoffs and the NCAA tournament. But throughout the y...

no need to worry. mr bamford has the solution. just move to the MAC and our record will get better, no need to make any changes to coaching staff or program. Just take the easy way and drop to a lower conference.

Not to harp on that play but I just watched the replay. Denver never had possession of the puck ( in fact Umass was setting up a play on the power play, the goalie was never hit by a puck or player. It appears he hurt himself just sliding on his own to the other side of the net, so it was self infli...

this is the only ruling that I could find about a goalie getting hurt: Found on USA Hockey website. Rule 206 | Injured Players (a) When a player is injured or compelled to leave the ice during a game, they may retire from the game and be replaced by a substitute under the player substitution rules. ...

absolutely agree, great game and Umass players really stepped it up. Just didn't like how Denver goalie was given so much time to recover from whatever injury he had during a power play that we had great pressure and gave their team time to rest when they had players on the ice that couldn't change ...

i went to stub hub and they had a lot better selection, they had lower level seats in the $70 range. I just bought blue line seats for $90 each which included the fees. But i would move quickly as there are limited quantities at that price
