Did all those young women pose for that picture just so you could send it to Holy Cross and show it on Crossportsd to a bunch of people, most of whom could not care less.? I doubt it.

I am afraid you missed may point. You posted a bunch of UV pics that, other than one post of the final score, most people on Crossports just don't give a $hit about. [Unless they used all 16 of those skaters at once, why would the number of subs available matter?]

[Unless they used all 16 of those skaters at once, why would the. number of subs available matter?] Are you serious? They basically played with three lines (plus one) and three sets of defensemen and only one goalie. The fatigue level of those that played in the second game of a back to back was high and they still won 9-0. That is a pretty crazy accomplishment. Holy Cross on the other hand had 16 skaters in the stats and three goalies.

NO ONE CARES OTHER THAN YOU. Then let's not talk about Holy Cross women's hockey then. They just got smashed by a middle of road Hockey East program that was undermanned by the worst score in Hockey East all year.

Losing 9-0 to northeastern or Wisconsin or another top 5 team may happen in women’s hockey where the talent pool is pretty shallow, but to lose like that to UVM is a disgrace. I don’t envy Kit, a lot of issues to deal with a week into his tenure.

Why don't you not talk about HC women's hockey...or anything else here on Crossports. Go to the Vermont chat room, and heap praise on them ad nauseum.

rgs beat me to it. Foley, it has become very clear as I previously PM'd you that something has changed in your outlook over the last few years. You used to be a pretty objective poster here whose opinion was valued for it's non-purple objectivity. Now, you have been going out of your way to be negative about all things Holy Cross and obviously trying to antagonize the Crusader faithful. I understand your unhappiness with Holy Cross athletic administration but don't take it out on the players and fans. Since my PM had no effect on you, I'm calling you out publicly now.
At minimum, consider going on a pre-Lenten hiatus. I promise you, it'll do you some good and will be a welcome relief to the rest of us.

Literally talking about their last game but you fail to recognize that. They just had the worst loss in Hockey East this season against a shorthanded team. Why are they struggling so bad against the middle tier of Hockey East? They are now 12 points behind Merrimack to get out of last place. The gap from Merrimack to BU who is in fourth place is 12 points.

Worcester State women's played with 11 yesterday and beat Curry 9-1 who has 19 players. Its not the craziest thing that has ever happened.

The gap from Merrimack to BU who is in fourth place is 12 points. I am well aware of their last game...as well as your constant need to put down almost anything connected to Holy Cross. Vermont suited up 16 players and a goalie. HC used 16 players and switched goalie to little effect. What is your point of posting photos showing the 16 players. Nice unwarranted assumption on your part that I did not know what you were talking about. You are wrong, as usual, but I know that won't stop you.

Tough to be positive when the winter sports teams are a combined 18-53-2 against D-1 competition.

Can’t believe UVM survived with only ONE goalie in a D1 hockey game and the same number of skaters as us. Might be time for the Dean to put Foley on ice. People have tried to be nice but he’s just become insufferable.

We deserve to absorb some embarrassment after such a futile effort - you posters whose feelings are hurt, well, get over it - you all seem to be very tolerant of all the losing - some of us are willing to call the state of HC athletics what it is: Simply Terrible with no plan for improvement

As an alternative, consider simply adding Foley to your "ignore" list. It works and will reduce the angst you feel and still allow him free expression. If enough posters add him to their ignore list, he'll be talking to an empty room. Going to take my own advise right now. Goodbye, Foley.

My feelings aren’t hurt. I just find Foley extremely annoying. As you may be aware, I follow HC athletics more closely than almost anyone and hate the losing. I just don’t need some schmuck from UNH coming around and constantly posting some variation of”HC sucks at . . .” several times a day for no reason. If you want to set up a private chat with him to hear his insights, feel free.

We're up to two out of the five of the "revenue" or "spectator" Sports with winning records this academic year. The records of the other three will take your breath away, but it's a start.
Time for Kit to be fair but urgent with the other programs.
