This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I’d like to think that our over reliance on grad transfers by NH74Domer
is one or two seasons thing, presuming we can keep the incoming class together.
I think it also worth pointing out that there is a tendency to think of hockey freshman as 18 year olds. In reality, many are older - in MSU’s case none are under 20. (MSU also have five grad/upperclassmen transfers on their roster.)
I think that in either case, the clock is ticking; whether they are an older kid enrolling as a freshman or coming into the program as a grad student they may not be around long enough to leave their mark on the locker room.
