Originally posted by Priceless View PostJust talked to one of the players. They've been hearing the riot act all day. My advice was to have fun and not feel any pressure because they have none. They're in fifth place and most people expect them to finish fifth. They weren't supposed to sweep BC and they did. They sure as hell weren't supposed to sweep at BU. Lowell was #1 in the country when the Bears won there. But then the pressure mounts because they are supposed to beat PC and Northeastern, and they crumble. Some guys love pressure and some guys don't. This group definitely does not. If they relax, have fun and take the underdog role to heart they will succeed. Play tight and let the pressure get them, and they won't. It's pretty simple. A lot easier for those of us watching than for those playing the game.
If absolutely everything breaks right, this team could be 8th in the pairwise by the end of the night. They could also drop as low as 19th. They are easily in the most volatile position in the rankings.Originally posted by BobbyBrady
Crosby probably wouldn't even be on BC's top two lines next year

Long front page article in today's BDN about Steve Abbott. Most of it is just a re-hash of all the articles that have appeared in the last year, but a good compilation by Pete Warner. He's leaving all of his career options open.

Originally posted by BobF View PostLast night was about desire. The games they won vs. BU, BC and Lowell were also about desire and execution. In particular the 2 games vs. BC were about desire as they came back both nights. Lack of execution and game plans that is on coaching, when you allow another team to outwork you it is about desire. And let's be clear Maine made 3 mistakes on the last play. Beattie's pass, Mangene's penalty and the lack of anyone else to beat the 3rd man back. Sullivan did what he was supposed to do on that.
What's been the one constant during that period?What kind of cheese are you planning to put on top?

Originally posted by rufus View PostOK, we'll give that to you. So what explains this missing 'desire" that occurs so frequently among the Maine teams over the past say, 6-7 years? It can't be solely down to the players, as the ones on this team are not the same as the ones from 2004-2005, nor the ones from 2006-2007. Complete turnover of pl;ayers, at least twice, and yet, maine teams still show up for games with no desire to play. If it is solely due to the numerous players who have worn a Maine uniform during that time, and yet show up to games with no desire, then why does maine recruit those kinds of players?

Originally posted by rufus View PostOr, if they relax and have fun, as you posted that they did on the bus ride down, they come out with no desire or intensity, and just go through the motions on the ice, and gakk up games that they're supposed to win.

Originally posted by Priceless View PostThey were loose on the bus ride down, but I don't think that carried over to the ice. They weren't having much fun on the ice last night. Besides, most of you want them to lose, so what's the problem?I swear there ain't no heaven but I pray there ain't no hell.
