Re: Maine Black Bears, 2010-2011, Redemption or FORE, I say......
As a long time fan of UNH-Maine rivalry, I found the debate about Ryan's abilities interesting. Thought if he was great I should recall him, but didn't so looked him up: http://eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=12619. His last year at Maine was 03-04 (148 PM in 43 games), 3+ years in AHL with lots of PM and the last 2+ in Germany. So far this year a penalty a game. Even in his one game in the NHL his only stat is a 2 minute penalty.
He obviously has some success after DI career, but being "great" in HE would probably translate into more success. Being mean accounts for lots of penalty minutes, but so does holding or tripping or whatever to stop offensive players when one can't keep up with them. As I noted, I don't remember him, so you can evaluate that better than I.
BTW, good luck the rest of the season. After last weekend, I wish you guys lots of wins.
