Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't he say, or at least imply, that he wanted the grinder types in the short term to change the identity and culture of the team to his liking, but that in the longer term he wanted to become a more skilled and speedy team? Johnson is a minimum of two years away from Orono, probably more like three or even four, so he would fit the bill of a longer term piece.
At the end of the day talent is what makes the difference and you need to get some of the younger kids. It’s good to see Barr is working on multiple fronts.Originally posted by BobbyBrady

Barr is a stud recruiter and Maine has the fan base and tradition to turn around the boat sooner rather than later. Why do some Maine fans seem like they are on some imaginary 5 year plan for success? Nothing is guaranteed but come on....we're talking college hockey here. We've got no name schools in the Top 10 and making Frozen 4s....Maine winning sooner rather than later is not some pie-in-the-sky impossibility.

If you want a vacation from USCHO, please keep on this tack.

The closer we get to this season the more convinced I am Maine is going to have a good year. I’m not sure we have any really high end players but the combination of great depth and good goaltending should stand us in good stead.
Step 2 - Become the team and program that has a reputation for honest hard work on an upswing of success.
Step 3 - Sprinkle in available top end talent when the right ones become available and only those who can adhere to step 1 principles above
Step 4 - Become the place to be in college hockey
Step 5 - Just win baby, just win
Essentially the same recipe that Walshy followed. Apparently there must have been something very lucrative about this Johnson kid that Barr felt he needed to go after.Last edited by acs64; 08-10-2021, 06:14 AM.I believe in equality of effort. In life, in hockey in everything.

Anyone heard any news/rumors regarding fan attendance Covid prevention requirements at the Alfond for this upcoming season?
My renewing of season tickets depends on how this is handled.$90(more) for a drink holding ledge and a Maine blanket, but the views still great.
Just win.....

The last interview I heard he said he wasn’t a big fan of the 16 year olds and wanted older kids who had been overlooked. I’m sure he has made multiple comments on the subject though.

I didn't take it as though he won't recruit young talent, but similar to everything else he's said, he's looking for the right mental makeup as well. If Barr is signing a 16 year old, I trust that he's going to be damn good by the time he comes to Orono, or he won't be here...and will end up in Durham
