When you’re down 1 goal and you have a PP coming and you commit a dumb penalty, you don’t deserve to win. You’re pity punch is more important than a win.

We've had maaaybe 1-2 1st rounders on the team at a time. Recruiting classes in Red's better years would frequently have multiple picks and we've been missing that for a long time. Seems like the depth on the team has been totally shot.

Look back on that 2007(?) class. It had Hagelin, Palushaj, Caporusso, Pacioretty, Matt Rust, plus Llwellyn who was a top prospect when he was younger. That on a team that already had Chris Summers, Porter, and Kolarik. There are a lot of parallels between Red's end of career tail off and Lloyd's except Red's was over like 5 years. I respect Red a lot, but he really held on for too long

Penn State was a better program from Michigan almost as soon as they joined D1. They went from a top ACHA club, announced several years before the actual move that they were moving, and then poached a solid coach in Gadowsky from Princeton I think. They made that transition about as well as you could've at the same time Red was kind of slowly cratering the program in Ann Arbor
