    Yeah, you're right, they clearly accomplished nothing during their four years here. Winning the program's first Hockey East tournament title and first Hockey East regular-season title and making the program's first two NCAA tournaments, first Frozen Four and first national championship game are all evidence of just how big of losers they actually were.
