The Barr Has Been Raised at UMaine

[Wayuphere]

It was the real deal if you weren't there before the addition in the early 90s. The place was so loud in the late 80s to early 90s it was unreal and caused hearing loss Place was awesome. 2003 the place was still rocking but not like the early days of Shawn Walsh.

Ears would ring come bedtime, like most concerts back then. SRO was the place to be, ushers left you alone, Wally was a fixture down in the corner……and Fitzgerald sucked as a ref……

AT least Fitzy could skate the length of the ice unlike McBride who would be making calls from 180ft away

Lol. McBride was out of breath and sweating coming down the runway onto the ice.

I hope you folks who wanted to run Guite off are happy now.

Yes, Barr should've retained Guite as an assistant because of one (1) quality recruit. Gotcha.

I mean, it's not like Barr knows diddly-squat about recruiting. No siree, not like Guite does.

Unless the recruit's last name was Orr, Howe or Gretzky (or Kariya?) and was planning to stay at Orono for a lot longer than four years, what's your point here?

Sucks, but there was 0% chance Guite stayed, and rightfully so. Big loss, but I'm sure we'll be able to make it back and more in time.

Absolutely sucky loss, but let's relax on the pitty party. We just brought in possibly the best recruiter in D1 hockey and we're going to **** and moan about losing one recruit? GTFO. Some of you literally can't be pleased regardless.

I think the thing that frustrates me is that Carvel and Barr were able to hold on to Makar and in this case Barr wasn’t able to hold on to Richard. Who knows how he develops, and maybe he’s a complete bust, but he would have been Maine’s best recruit in a long time.

Momentum is extremely important and instead of Barr’s tenure starting off on a positive note it started with probably the worst possible thing that could happen. I think Ostman is the only other player who potentially would be as bad to lose. Hopefully Barr can turn the momentum around quickly and there aren’t any more losses like this.

If he left Barr for Leaman, he'd certainly have left Red for Leaman. Before Red's untimely death, I'd have been surprised if this kid had come to Orono as anything other than a visitor.

Agree!
Why would anyone thing richard was going to sign with maine because of guite the assoc coach! Theres more to it like a proven successful head coach.

Give Barr some time for gods sake.
like five years!
