Originally posted by BlackBearinGopherLand View PostIt is too bad the University cannot figure out new revenue streams for hockey. They have a journalism and broadcasting school, why not produce their own live game coverage and stream it and charge either monthly or per game like NCHCTV.
It's a nice model they have but all teams participate, even the one's that already have a local TV agreement as it helps the other member schools save by using the home teams feed so they have no travel expenses. Would benefit the students in the J&B school and the U in revenue.Originally posted by BobbyBrady

He had a pretty decent NHL career, too. (Rolleyes.)
And then you had Lundin and this other guy, Ben Bishop.
Coaching at the college level is primarily about bringing in talent, seems to me.
Tim did that, Red never did.I swear there ain't no heaven but I pray there ain't no hell.

Not going to pick nits, because it's beyond obvious that the preceding staff recruited WAAAAAY better then Red did.
Barr has an empty toolbox now, clearly. We'll have to see if there's any incremental improvement during the next few years.
Not going to get my panties in a bunch over this year's disaster, because it was going to happen even if Jesus himself tried to coach this crew of cast-offs.Last edited by Fishman'81; 12-01-2021, 10:52 PM.

Well, nobody had to buy what turned-out to be an unwatchable stream that they already paid a premium for, either.
Free, HD streams are becoming commonplace these days, and it's pretty easy to ignore the feeble attempts to sell you a used car.
I say: bring it on at Maine! Hammond Lumber alone will pay for the bulk of it, God bless 'em.

That's the Learfield model. Listening to a broadcast is a 3 hour commercial interrupted occasionally by hockey.
1. No school other than Maine football did that stupid fake crowd noise ****.
2. The commercial load varied wildly from school to school.

Originally posted by Toronto_1 View PostMaine recruit Xavier Henry recently changed his commitment to UVM. He's from Toronto and attended St. Andrew's Prep before heading to the BCHL. That's the same school as another Maine recruit, Grayson Arnott. Anybody have any insight at to why the switch was made? Thanks!

Could be a number of reasons. He wasn't recruited by Barr so perhaps he feels no allegiance to the Maine program. Maybe Vermont was also recruiting him at the same time Maine was? He is a big player at 6-5 and 201. He appears to be a physical player with 25 PIM in 15 games so far this season. Discipline? Perhaps he is not the type of player Barr is looking for?

I see Andy Moore committed to Northeastern today, I wonder if Ben offered him? Maine’s obviously got a lot of kids committed but would have been nice to see him in blue. Haven’t been many Maine kids at the DI level in recent times.Originally posted by BobbyBrady

I wouldnt call vt a terrible program anymore. They have some fast, young, skilled kids brought in by woodcroft. I have a feeling he'll rebuild that program to be competitive in HE. Maine will have their hands full this weekend.
Maine wouldn't be a solid Vegas favorite over ANYONE right now. Our program has hit rock-bottom.Last edited by Fishman'81; 12-02-2021, 09:15 PM.
