Too bad that E. Edwards will move on, but I look forward to seeing him play on Sundays. He has the stuff.

Originally posted by walrus View PostYeah if its already at 27 the chances they get to 14 are pretty slim. Their only way in is to win the HE tourney riding Sway. Him being on crutches for that isn't going to work very wellOriginally posted by BobbyBrady
Crosby probably wouldn't even be on BC's top two lines next year

Re: Maine Black Bears 2019-20: Seeing Red
Originally posted by Drew S. View PostHockey Eaat has four teams 39 and below and five teams between 22 and 32. The best bet for every team might be the tourney. BC is the top team right now, but have to think the league games will kill their chances of an at large bid.
I'd like to see see America East Hockey form with:
Maine
UNH
Vermont
UMass-Lowell
NU
BU
UMass
UConn
8 teams is plenty it would allow for home & home series vs. everyone plus 6 OOC games.

Re: Maine Black Bears 2019-20: Seeing Red
Originally posted by umhockey91 View PostI think that Hockey East has become too big and talent too spread out. Also looking at individual schools.....Merrimack and UMass-Lowell have gone D1 across the board with resources being directed toward other sports. Vermont is all about basketball now. Football has surpassed hockey at UNH and Maine. UConn & UMass trying to keep their football programs afloat. BU has fallen since Parker left. Only Providence & Northeastern have consistently improved over the past 5 years.

Originally posted by Ma#1ne Hky View PostNo Providence?/Merrimack?/Boston College? Come on Hockey East is a staple...if anything they should add a 12th team, someone like Quinnipiac which "they"(QU)would most likely not go for. I hear your idea..But Hockey East has to stay(imo).Originally posted by BobbyBrady

Originally posted by Drew S. View PostI’m not sure I’ve ever disagreed more with a Maine fan. Hockey East should absolutely get smaller. The league was much, much better before expansion.

Originally posted by amkirby10 View PostWho should go, though? Merrimack is an "obvious" choice, but who else should leave? Vermont? I do agree that 11 is a bad number, but it should either be 10 or 12.
Edit: Nine really was a great number.Originally posted by BobbyBrady

Originally posted by Drew S. View PostUConn would be the most obvious choice. Maybe they would just cut hockey? I could see Merrimack going to Atlantic hockey. Aren’t a bunch of those schools in their conference for the other sports?

Originally posted by AMC View PostWell, there is one school in Hockey East that is a far geographic outlier and is apparently unable to fund its program in a manner that would let it compete on a conference wide or national scale... If that school went (along with, say, similarly situated Vermont), this bus league could go back to Friday/Saturday night home and homes.Originally posted by BobbyBrady
