Maine 2012-13 Part 3D: Still digging

Re: Maine 2012-13 Part 3D: Still digging

I am a little surprised 39 wasn't benched last weekend after the confrontation between him and TW after the Mercyhurst debacle. Especially when so many of the players have sucked it up and played through injuries. Particularly amazing when you consider they played against the advice of doctors, and with injuries that sound a lot worse than "back spasms". A few days ago I suggested that many of the players looked up to TW and liked playing for him. I was answered by people pointing to the abysmal W/L record and the lack of scoring. I have found you usually can measure a players desire by things that don't show up on a stat sheet. One of the many lessons I learned from Shawn.

I don't doubt they like Tim, my question is why in terms of hockey? What are they learning? They play like they practice, half speed. Most of the players turn into grinders and don't seem to progress into scorers. I just don't get it.

you brave soul.

I'll think of you when I am eating my dragon roll...and again when I get home to see the rest of the game on TV. I'm still at work...

From what I see on the tv attendance looks decent

Re: Maine 2012-13 Part 3D: Still digging

Attendance is way higher than last night. Especially the $50 seats. The upper bowl in front of me is almost sold out

Course they like TIMMAY. He doesn't work them in practice, so they aren't being run into the ground, so they can float thru practice and still be fresh and energized at the kegger that night. he's not a taskmaster, so they're not getting yelled at all the time, even when they keep making the same stupid mistakes game after game. Their season gets done early, so they're out on the links playing golf way before anyone else.

What's not to like?

Re: Maine 2012-13 Part 3D: Still digging

In any event, TIMMAY looked a little flustered at the end of the period. Feeling the pressure a bit, maybe?

2 black bears were tackled. From behing after ahem snaky slashed at a covered puck

Timmy finally gave gravalese a piece if his mind when no warriors were called for anything... And Joey was previously called for a much less violent hit

Game was on in the restaurant...I almost spit a mouthful of sushi at my wife on that non-call...

I see Abbott schmoozing with you in your perch
Any news for us underlings?

And did you happen to see what happened to Bob Bernard?
I was watching the play
(The linesman looked like he was knocked out cold in front of the MC bench)

Re: Maine 2012-13 Part 3D: Still digging

Our favorite AD is watching the game next to me. Anything I should ask him?

Re: Maine 2012-13 Part 3D: Still digging

Ask him if he read my email, and what he plans to do about it. Was a counterpoint to the UMaine professor's opinion piece.
