Please the conference schedule hasn’t even started for us. We looked ok against Bona. Hockey schmokey. Hockey is a regional sport that very few even know exists nationwide. Remember the magical run is St. Peter’s ? If Griffs hockey goes to the Frozen Four it’s not national news and no one really cares. Come on man! Have a little frigin patience! It might take 3 years but it will be worth it! Let’s see how we do against comparable mid majors before you quit you loser.

Mid major basketball success is (or should be) cyclical. Sure, we are all little embarrassed by the Griffs start. But after years of putting up with Reggie's disappointing and dull program, I'm willing to give Christian some time to assemble a program we can be proud of.

IMO, Hockey won't move our visibility needle and has minimal impact on student applications. We just hosted #4 Michigan State, whose fans were very well represented, for two games and drew 1,600 and 1,700 fans. Two games vs Army combined drew 1,500. How much hunger is there for a stepped-up hockey program in WNY? Hell, the Sabres games are riddled with empty seats.

Christian starts winning, enthusiasm will return. Just going to take some patience.
