I like Tim. He did a great job with Gus. Look at how much Abbott and Flynn have developed as an example.

I think we will have a better season than people expect. I may sound optomistic but I like our recruits coming in and I believe players will continue to develop.

The Gus who had fewer points his senior season than he had as a junior?

Imagine what Jerry York would have done with a player of that caliber.

oK Ok I think we need more help up the middle. But I think we will still dow well. Maybe finish 4th or 5th so not bad.

4th is a stretch, 5th I could see if goaltending gets better over the summer, either way they don't make the NCAAs and thats all that matters at this point.

Nyquist played JUST 3 seasons @ Maine...left for Detroit/Grand Rapids after his Junior season.

Maine will finish 6th in Hockey East...lucky if they are a .500 team in Hockey East and overall record...no Home QF's or trip to Boston and with that NO NC$$'s either. Goaltending will be the sticking point from day one this season...they need a BIG upgrade in both netminders to go with a Blue Collar type team,grinding for goals and playing a tight Team game.

If recent history is any indication and if bentley joined hockey east?

Look, sad sacks, if you want to pound your chests by dissing women's sports then start your own unisex forum. I suspect I am interrupting your own gender trolling by suggesting women's sports are worthy of respect. Women's college b-ball probably out-draws and produces more revenue than men's college hockey. Get over it. Grow up.

Peter Rabbit would be wise to stay out of Mr McGregor's garden.

Or at least get a clue what this thread title is about before making an ass out of yourself.

It's gotta be hard to get one of them to give up a home game.Have an outdoor game inside? That would be a neat trick. Original, too.

Who cares if it's played outside?That gimmick has run its course.

My point is:if you're gonna have 4 State schools in the mix,play it somewhere outside of Boston where the possibility of actual interest exists,and format it as a tournament.Otherwise,there's no point in doing it in the first place.

I remember seeing Maine in Hartford years ago,playing Colgate,while UNH played WTH Can Remember U,and NOBODY showed up...(Maybe they should have moved that event outside,ya think?)

So... are you saying you think Maine will be ok next year and do well, surprise a lot of people ?

Whatever. His final season as opposed to the previous year.

Goaltending will be the sticking point from day one this season...they need a BIG upgrade in both netminders to go with a Blue Collar type team,grinding for goals and playing a tight Team game.

I don't think goaltending will be the major weakness so much as the defense. Goaltending will be ok, maybe a bit better than they were this past season, buit will be demoralized and victimized by repeated breakdowns in the defensive zone.
