    Thank you, Tim. You did what you could and could do no more.

        Well I'll be. Buried among tabs for the Student Athlete Academic Spotlight, E-Newsletter, Auction, Photo Store, etc.

          D*** shame. Beattie was fun to watch down in South Florida. Really had a nice tournment.

          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).

            That'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.
            Games produced at New Hampshire and North Dakota are on TV tonight and both are in SD. Is that the university's doing or the local station's? I haven't done either internet video feed because I have no interest in paying for them, but are they in HD or SD? If you're going to charge for a feed, it really should be in HD. I would prefer a model like Northeastern's where you don't have to pay for the feed, but Maine is looking for new revenue streams to exploit, not eliminate. And yes, the WPME feed is almost unwatchable.

            Speaking of revenue streams, if you're unhappy with the website, thank our friend Blake James for selling out to ClearChannel Learfield. 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.

              That's standardization for you in an efficient society where the technicization of everything leads to uniformity, sameness, and monopoly. So much for local control in an interdependent world. Isn't neofeudalism fun?

              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.

                  College Hockey Inc

                  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)

                    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!!

                      A student athlete cannot lose a scholarship due to injury.

Boston Mafia at it's best. And lets hope that Kyle Beattie is Ok.
                            Refs purpose on ice is to protect players. If they screw up bad enough, then they too should be disciplined.

                                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 least
