      Pretty far off based on the fact he couldn't his first year and watching what little time he got this year.

        Now I really really really think he shouldn't leave early! He can make about as much first year with an ee degree as playing in ahl. Love to see him finish his degree. Also, to answer his question.... Jason Mansoff was an ee too.

                If you squint your eyes while watching Sioux Falls you can pretend you are watching the black bears.

                        That's so funny. Maine had a very similar player do the same thing around 10 years ago http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/p...php?pid=116572 I would anticipate a similar outcome.

                          Yea, maybe. I thought he (Meyers) had a lot of potential, and he's been on fire lately with 6 goals in his last 5 games with Fargo. He is going to a good program, and I think he'll get lots of ice time there. It will be interesting to watch.

                            Bhall44, which incoming players do you expect to be regulars in the lineup? Based on what I’ve seen, I expect JSS, Dawe, and Butala to be regular contributors. Anyone else?

                              For UMaine, new recruits for next season are pretty unlikely at this point. We are pretty well locked in, especially at D. If an obvious roster upgrade presents itself that is a different story. The one thing to keep an eye on is Michel and Holway. I left the Alfond last Saturday night and pretty much said goodbye to Michel. I think he will be offered a contract and sign, as he should. I'm a little on the fence about Holway, but ultimately I think Detroit sees enough room for improvement that at least another year at UMaine is in order. Becker is likely to graduate. So we need to replace Hamilton, Michel, Becker is this scenario.

                              Assessing the current situation Butala (Hamilton), Kleiboer (Michel), and Spicer (Becker). Palmer has one more year of junior eligibility and is a good player no doubt, i've watched him play a couple of times. Ultimately he doesn't represent an obvious roster upgrade and Maine doesn't have enough $ left to get him to Orono. He is likely to get more $ (a half to full ride) from another school . Palmer is your classic Norm Bazin type pickup (which more and more teams are doing now). Also Atlantic Hockey with their 18 scholarships now and many schools with new infrastructure projects completed/underway/planned should not be taken lightly going forward.
                              So, I was jumping around and got stuck on Pentincton vees vs. Trail smoke eaters. And have been watching defensemen and noticed 19 for Pentincton was playihg very well and a lot of minutes. It turns out he played as a freshmen in 12 games for BC but left part way into his sophmore season. He is a dual citizen that has played in USHL for undpt, US U17, US U18, BC, and now BCHL. I find it hard to believe he isn't signed up with anyone right now? Maybe I missed if he is. But Maine is lacking in this exact type of player it seems, an at home minute eater shut down type. His skating is great, he close gaps well, mechanically sound, physical but not over the edge leading to penalties. Thoughts on if he is a good fit at Maine BHall? Well, I think most teams would want a player like this. He didn't dress in a game at Alfond but I imagine he watched Alfond on a sellout night in a close battle.

                                I have a bit of bad news to report... Thiessen finally got a goal scored against him in the playoffs.

                                He's been playing outstanding including pitching a couple shutouts.

                                Also, Renwick and Morrissey are playing outstanding in the playoffs. Seems the are at nearly 2 points per game in their playoff runs. They are inn the finals for triple a midget hockey in Saskatchewan. Hopefully they chose college over major junior.

                                And Drobot had 3 goals on the weekend. And Great Dane had a couple points Friday but only 22 penalty minutes last night. I haven't reviewed the game but I imagine he was fighting.
