But I agree with everyone else. The kid's got another 55-60 years in him, knock on wood. It is so unbelievably not worth it for him to continue putting his head in harm's way.
Hopefully the univ does the right thing: tell him he doesn't need to lace up again, and that the univ will fully honor his scholarship (assuming he's on one).1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1995 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2012(!)

Originally posted by AMC View PostThat's what I'm saying. It is part and parcel with the horrible way the entire athletic department is run. The budget is a shoestring, I understand, but the off the field out put is sub-D3 level. The website is a joke, you can't find anything on there. The internet feeds are terrible, anyone who is buying them is a complete sucker. If WABI can't come up with an HD truck, don't let them broadcast the games. It kills attendance anyways, and when WPME in Portland picks up WABI's crap feed and makes it even crappier, it seriously looks 1982 quality.
Division I athletics takes a certain level of commitment, and the University of Maine isn't putting it forward in any way. I realize this is Maine, and I should temper my expectations, but god****. Take some pride in your work product.
Speaking of revenue streams, if you're unhappy with the website, thank our friend Blake James for selling out toClearChannelLearfield. As part of that deal they're in charge of the website. If you look at sites of many other Learfield schools their pages will look very similar, right down to the address paths for the pages.
Edit: Still no official word on Beattie, but Leidermark and BOC are due back tomorrow. Leidermark will take the place of Norman.

Thank God at least the Alfond has some uniqueness to it because those cookie-cutter modern rinks have no character.
The Athetic Department should have never ditched WZON; and not even allowing time for them to make a counter proposal is criminal for a public university funded by taxpayers.

Originally posted by Hockeyman99 View PostAlso, is it just me or do we lose almost every face off? I'd be curious what our stats are for face offs.
S Swavely 115-97 (.542)
Devin Shore 106-127 (.455)
Kyle Beattie 93-95 (.495)
Stu Higgins 89-86 (.509)
Mark Anthoine 68-50 (.576)
Team total: 519-529 (.495)
Through last Sunday, Maine was tied for 3rd in Hockey East in faceoff percentage. Only UMass (.550) and BC (.538) are above 50%.
Edit: League games only.
Overall, Maine is 829-770 (.518)Last edited by Priceless; 02-02-2013, 09:36 PM.

Stats don't lie I guess. I thought Shore was the best of the bunch, but it appears that he's not. It just seems that we cleanly lose a LOT of d zone face-offs and rarely cleanly win o zone face-offs. Hope the boys bring their lunch pails today!
This is hockey, okay? ... If you don't play this game with a lot of heart and a big bag of knuckles, you don't got dinky-doo!!Last edited by Hockeyman99; 02-03-2013, 07:02 AM.

Boston Mafia at it's best. And lets hope that Kyle Beattie is Ok.

Joey wins the game in OT, great weekend for him, I don't think he had a penalty? is that a first . Marty was great in OT, sounded like Lowell had all the chances until Joey came in. Timmay is saving his job for another year at leastI swear there ain't no heaven but I pray there ain't no hell.
