Couldn't agree more. Tim isn't the man for the job, but he sure as heck isn't trying to ruin the program. He might be doing a terrible job and he might be letting his ego get in the way or be in denial, but he isn't intentionally trying to sabotage the program. The "internet nutcases" will be taken a lot more seriously if you leave the personal attacks out and just stick to facts on how terrible of a coach he is.

...And that was such a nice post up until the kicker!

Watching the US/Denmark World Junior game tonight and notice that Todd Bjorkstrand is the coach of Denmark talk about a blast from the past. His two sons are playing for Denmark as well.

Nearly forgot about Todd... He was truly fun to watch. I'd like to see attracting getting a few more players like him nowadays.

(Shifting gears, does anyone know if the Estero games are being web-cast?)

I think we can all agree, Tim would be a great next door neighbour....

Bet he would be... And probably better than Shawn, Jack Semlar and Tort ,too. (I played pool with John and his brother Jim a few times, and it appears he hasn't changed a bit; still a hot-head.)

But,as you imply, being a nice guy doesn't necessarily translate into coaching success.

It seems that UMaine is having a more difficult time soliciting good teams down there.........If it was not for Cornell, this Tourney would suck........They should keep it in the east so that players can get exposure.......?

Thinking about 99 should help the way you feel.

(Seen Cornell a couple of times this season, and they ain't great shakes themselves, believe me.)

There isn't a legitimate top-20 team in this tournament, but that should should make for close games, in a head-in-your-hands sort of way.

Knew Todd well back in college, and watched some of that game and saw the Bjorkstrand's on the ice, but never did the rest of the homework. Thanks for posting. Todd was one of the few MN recruits by Semler that panned out, along with Ron Hellen. Very happy for Todd!

If the FL college classic used to be where good beginnings went to die, is there any chance it can be where disappointing beginnings go to die?

Or have I gotten into acs's supply of dark rum?

Either way, sunny and 80 is hard to argue with. Worst case, if the hockey is lousy, there's still the other 4 team shindig in Tampa-StPete...

Heard they closed Disney because they had to many people, hope you weren't part of the group that got lock out. You won't have to worry about crowds if you go to Estero for the tourney, just buy cheap seats and sit where you want, even in the bar.

Nah
I'm going down to Tampa for the Frozen Four, going to Orlando for a few days first, visiting a college for my step son,Embry Riddle in Daytona, then down to Tampa for Hockey and some beach time on the west coast of FLA
