      ditto that....as he says, he's got to learn when to take a hit and when to step aside....first few games will be critical to him learning to keep his emotions in check...that being said, those emotions also make an average player into a helluva good player.....also anxious to watch him play....also hopeful he will have a long career from here forward.

        They COULD award a bid to any team that wins its league regular season, and one to the team that wins its conference tournament.

        I think the reason that they ditched that was because it would not be fair to a team like Wisconsin, (the potential 5th best team in the country, but non winner of the WCHA regular season or final-5) to have to watch from their TV sets while Bemidi,(the conference regular season winner and 24th in the country) and (Army, the tournament winner, and 52nd in the country) got to play in the tourney.

          Scott Darling was ranked 10th in Hockey East in sv% both years he played.

          Maine only needs average goaltending to compete next year.

          Just a thought.
          How do you plan on beating BC with average goaltending?

            gosh, last time Maine played BC, Maine had no problem putting in 6, how good does Maine's goaltending have to be?

            can it be worse than letting in 7?

              Hopefully the new guys get some playing time and some confidence. Willy could have been a heck of a lot better if he had some playing time during the course of his carreer

                I'm certainly not convinced of that. Willy was Willy. He was what he was....sometimes decent, often not. You never knew for sure what you would get from here on any given night. Consistency certainly wasnt his strength. That being said, its been awhile since we've had a season long consistent goalie....Howard?

                    Howard or Doyle, but Jimmy wasn't consistent his freshman year

                      Sophomore year, wasn't it? Freshman he was steady as a rock.
                      What kind of cheese are you planning to put on top?

                        No, Jimmy was super-solid during his sophomore year, posting an NCAA-record GAA of 1.19. I believe he had mono the summer before his freshman year and while he often played very well, he wasn't as consistent as he was during his sophomore and junior years. His GAA as a freshman was around 2.45, while Frank Doyle's GAA was below 2.

                          Jimmy was solid before World Jrs

                            I agree entirely, but the key word is the "before," he wasn't the same Jimmy afterwards. I think Doyle is the most underappreciated goalie Maine has had in the past decade or so - I would have been happy to have him as a badger any day.

                              Not under appreciated by me or many others. Jimmy was and is a star but Frankie would have started at most other schools without a doubt.

                                Actually he played really well when he came back he was 4-1 1.98 gaa and .943% in his first 5 games back including Maine's first win at UNH in 5 or 6 years. He fell apart the second weekend of February and was pretty bad in 5 of his last 6 games.
