2010 Maine offseason: a lazy summer on the Stillwater

Re: 2010 Maine offseason: a lazy summer on the Stillwater

Congrats to Coach Whitehead. Despite what some may say, he clearly deserves the extension based on his performance and program/team results.

Based on what performance and results? Must be the 12 games under .500 for the last 3 years.

But they almost beat BC in the HE title game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gotta agree with you there. Seems Timmay is getting credit for this coming season which hasn't even happened yet. UML fans can attest to things not exactly going according to plan when they thought they were on the verge of world domination coming into the past season with their roster.

That being said... nice, nice guy and I'm happy for him.

To be completely fair, it was a season-long thing. This team was actually interesting to watch. They could skate, for instance. It was refreshing to have an entire season when scoring a 2nd goal to get a 2-1 lead didn't qualify as an offensive explosion.

The staff is obviously addressing the situation w/ goaltending...

I'd still be happier with a 1yr extension, with the possibility of 3 after the end of 2010-2011.

But the weather's too nice to complain very loudly. From my perspective, Maine hockey did a lot more right last season than just finishing 2 games over .500. Whitehead was in charge during that time . . . so fair is fair.

The last 3 years have been great

Season ticket application in the mail today, they must be confident Gus is coming back because they mention it many times in the brochure

He's kept Maine competitive since he's been there even though he's had to compete on and off the ice with BC, BU, and UNH for the most part. I think he's earned an extension, but I dont see him returning Maine to the Walsh glory days as long as the other teams in the east remain strong.

Re: 2010 Maine offseason: a lazy summer on the Stillwater

Just curious, as a BC fan, are you saying that Maine in this last post-season was a better team than Wisconsin was ?

compare and contrast, go ahead...

as for me, I watched the HE finals on TV and was out in Detroit.

Nah, Wisconsin was clearly better, but Maine certainly gave BC a better game in the postseason.

Season ticket renewal arrived today. Payment plan once again available and a discounted price for quarterfinal tickets if purchased now. They go from $15.00 to $19.00 if you wait until 2011. Maine starts regular season against the River Hawks.

Competitive? Two straight 13 win seasons, and only able to beat the teams in the bottom half of the division, during a period when quality is down nation-wide? yeah, sure.

We're doomed. Back to "TIMMAY's way or no way", and floating around the tops of the circles, shots fromn the point hockey.

Re: 2010 Maine offseason: a lazy summer on the Stillwater

Yah! 3 more years! If I can count, does that mean he gets the boot at the end of the 2013 season or 2014 season?

Letz see....little Corkum graduates in 4 years....maybe Bobby will take over then. (if he can tolerate the situation that long)

Oh rufus, always so negative. I hear another Ryan is coming in...no, not Prestins little brother.....they call this one 'floater', like the turd.

Re: 2010 Maine offseason: a lazy summer on the Stillwater

sooooo.. i read timmay got 3 yrs. is that because he needed a contract for 10-11? or was this tacked onto a deal that was already going well into the future??
