    Gwoz.

    In order, power ranking list of what would make me personally happy as a fan:
    1. Gwoz
    2. Cap
    3. Corkum
    4. Oz
    5. Red
    6. Torts

    Honestly, if its not one of the first three or a major darkhorse no one's talking about, I'd have rather kept Whitehead for one more year.

    Maine Hockey: I want to believe
    43-21-4 (.662) in games I attended over 4 years as a student
    104-47-14 (.669) in that time
    3x FROZEN FOUR

    11-20-2 in games I've attended since. (2-2-1 under Red)

          If we support whoever gets the job they have a lot better chance of being successful than if we don't support them. I'm just happy to draw a line under the last six or seven years. The team next year is going to have some talent and hopefully whoever is coach can get the most out of them.

              It is not Corkum. He's been told it's not him.

                    Updated my story from last night to add the certainty of Tuesday presser and no Corkum.

                      Gwozdecky, Capuano, and Montgomery would have been exciting choices.

                      The successful, if egomaniacal, Eastern Junior coach would have been intriguing. High-risk, high-reward?

                      Corkum . . . I would definitely give him a chance to demonstrate what he'd do at the helm. I'd give him a chance to prove me wrong. But I can't get past the fact that his tenure coincides almost perfectly with the bottom falling out. I just can't.

                      Red Gendron? I don't think so. But then I'm the crazy person who thinks that the landscape of college hockey has changed so much that I don't put much value on ties to the 92-93 season. And I can't get past the career assistant thing.

                      Jim Tortorella, Pellerin, and/or Osiecki? I guess I'll hang around and watch from afar. Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised.Best I can do.

                        Hey, I'm glad I got the job and all, but this search committee stinks. I tried talking to the committee, but they stink. So I've just decided to give myself the job. The committee is trying, and they have talent. But they just stink at searching.

                            We used to go up against Torts when he coached at Cony. Never in a million years would I have predicted he would rise to become the head coach of the state's flagship team. I thought Brian McCloskey could but I am amazed Maine has apparently chosen Jim. Wow.

                              before he was at cony, he had coached at brunswick. i missed out on him coaching me because (my understanding) some parents didn't like how he treated the players.... he had some good talent at cony in the early 90's, just not enough to surpass waterville, lewiston, dom's and nya. Ed Washuk in net, Keith Deschamps, Bryan Cheever, drawing a blank as it's been a while, but they were solid.

                              those nya teams gutted brunswick/ararat (Couture, Couture, Hardin, Wallace, Saxton, Saxton, Coombs, Coombs, Coombs, Johnson, Treworgy, Flower)

                                Looks like I'll continue to save money. In my wildest dreams I never would have imagined a downgrade from Whitehead, but that appears to be the case.
