Maine Hockey Thread II: The Search for Spock

Re: Maine Hockey Thread II: The Search for Spock

wait, which torts? could be john once he's fired!!!

Hey, I'm glad I got the job and all, but this search committee stinks. I tried talking to the committee, but they stink. So I've just decided to give myself the job. The committee is trying, and they have talent. But they just stink at searching.

Re: Maine Hockey Thread II: The Search for Spock

If its Tortorella count me as unimpressed. Dont tell me this 'committee' could have spent all this time and this is the best they can do.

Gwozdecky, Capuano, and Montgomery would have been exciting choices.

The successful, if egomaniacal, Eastern Junior coach would have been intriguing. High-risk, high-reward?

Corkum . . . I would definitely give him a chance to demonstrate what he'd do at the helm. I'd give him a chance to prove me wrong. But I can't get past the fact that his tenure coincides almost perfectly with the bottom falling out. I just can't.

Red Gendron? I don't think so. But then I'm the crazy person who thinks that the landscape of college hockey has changed so much that I don't put much value on ties to the 92-93 season. And I can't get past the career assistant thing.

Jim Tortorella, Pellerin, and/or Osiecki? I guess I'll hang around and watch from afar. Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised.Best I can do.

Updated my story from last night to add the certainty of Tuesday presser and no Corkum.

It is not Corkum. He's been told it's not him.

Gwoz ain't coming, Cap doesn't make sense money wise, Corkum, I see as the favorite, the rest suck

If we support whoever gets the job they have a lot better chance of being successful than if we don't support them. I'm just happy to draw a line under the last six or seven years. The team next year is going to have some talent and hopefully whoever is coach can get the most out of them.

Gwoz.

In order, power ranking list of what would make me personally happy as a fan:
1. Gwoz
2. Cap
3. Corkum
4. Oz
5. Red
6. Torts

Honestly, if its not one of the first three or a major darkhorse no one's talking about, I'd have rather kept Whitehead for one more year.

Re: Maine Hockey Thread II: The Search for Spock

Do you think fans are going to be happy with this? I just can't see him bringing much excitement back to the program. I hope I am wrong.

torts wasn't even the best DIII coach in maine during his time at Colby (Meagher/Bowdoin)

certainly not the splash i was/am hoping to see them make... nice coach, but it's not like colby was a d3 power when he was there (in 16 seasons, 1 Regular Season Title, 1 Conference Tourney Title, 1 D3 FF)... i was/am looking for them to go another route

I assume Torts.
