    But it is worth noting that he wasn't sharp. Luckily, SLU never really tested him all that much, but a number of pucks hit his catching glove and then fell to the ice in front of him, where he had to scramble to get them covered. He caught very few cleanly, nor did he smother too many pucks into his body without having to scramble to cover them as well.

    One thing I noticed was the difference on the PP. No longer is it just pass the puck back to the point man for him to tee up. The players were rotating along the halfboards and mid circles, and were receiving passes from the points, drawing defenders and opening up other guys down low or on the opposite side to receive the pass from them. Moving around, and moving the puck around, and drawing the defense out of position. A lot different look than the PP of the past few seasons.
    What kind of cheese are you planning to put on top?

      It'll keep the boys PO'd and looking to show something.

        Amusing. Maine flirts with .500 and all the Whitehead bashers take two steps back..THRILLED to be at 500. A few years ago if the Black Bears were at .500 the lynch mobs would be out.
        What was the record after Xmas last year?? This guy has no respect in the room. No smarts behind the bench. No history as a developmental coach. Prooooolonging the agony. Funny

            Its really quite simple. His team wins, he wins. His team loses, he's a bum and needs to find another job. You see, Maine fans are probably more passionate about the game and their team than most any other team. We hold our teams to very high standards, thanks to Walshy. We expect a lot.
            I believe in equality of effort. In life, in hockey in everything.

                    Since Blake James has shown NO BALLS to make coaching changes in hockey (or any other sport), all we fans can hope for is that the the team improves their level of play. And if this results in a playoff appearance of rogue National Championship.......then that is a bonus!

                    So sue us.

                      BC is ranked too high. Maine can have our spot at 15.
                      How more gracious can an Eagle fan be?

                        Hey you're right. Can't fool you. Besides owning a keyboard and a connnection I know unequivocally that that the players neither respect or like Whitehead . Also that his track record as a developmental coach is abysmal ( talk to some NHL people and check their opinions before you open you're mouth ) and that his bench management and tactics/ systems leave something to be desired. If you can refute any of the above statements with examples or testimonies ( Articles or interviews attesting to his tactical brilliance or the fact that he is a great teacher or a players coach ...that sort of thing ) I would be open to listen.

                            I know unequivocally that most of the players do like Whitehead. So I guess we find ourselves at a paradox.

                              No one here is going to argue with you.

                                No argument. Instead of taking the time to post a provocative comment you would have been better served to point out factually where and how I was wrong.
