      Walshy first year they lost to minnesota by double digits, 16-2 or something close and that was middle of season.

      Did the team practice before this game? or was this the first organized team practice?

        It sounds like they have been practicing for a while.

          The coach’s show is on Wednesday nights and is currently featuring both football and hockey. Ben is on for the last 30 minutes of this last week’s show but its football for the first hour.

          During the show John basically ask Ben about his overall option of the team and its players. Ben names a half dozen forwards he’s excited to coach and states he thinks the offence will surprise people. When asked about the defense he pauses and says Sirota is a decent player and they believe Breazeale will develop into a good defenseman. Zero about the rest of the DMan.

            Sirota and Spicer would make a good second pair and Butala and Bisson would make a nice third pair but there isn’t really a true first pair. There are a number of other guys who also would be decent enough to be on the third pair. Other than Sirota I’m not sure there is anyone else you would really want on the point on the PP. No doubt it is Maine’s biggest shortcoming this year.

              He has sized it up pretty good.

                Walsh's first year Maine hosted Minnesota and lost 4-2 and 8-1 on October 26-27, 1984.
                In his second year the Black Bears lost out there 8-3 and 16-2 on January 3-4, 1986.
                Maine would not defeat the Gophers until January 15, 1988 (6-4 at Alfond) and in the 3rd place game (5-2) at the Frozen Four.

                • I'm not really surprised at the result. Quinnipiac has a quality team, probably will be a top 10 team all year so they clearly are a step above.

                  I will also add that even though they got walloped, I'm glad they scheduled that game against a good team instead of a PEI to at least get these guys ready to play. Nothing wrong with an early wake up call to let them know they need to play better and be more disciplined to win games. Hopefully that is a lesson they learned the hard way.

                  • New recruit: https://www.eliteprospects.com/playe...-kiecker-olson

                    He didn’t have a great season last year but is off to a really good start this year. He looks promising enough to me.

                      Walsh talked about that somewhere. He said that he wept in his hotel room after that embarrassing ***-whupping.

                      I'm not sure that I buy that, but the thing is, Maine got really good a couple of years later.

                      Shawn was a great BS artist, and a great recruiter. (Probably the same skill-set.)

                      If Barr is half as good as Shawn was at recruiting, Maine should be relevant within a few years.

                      • Just heard a rumor that the (new) UMO policy for attendance at indoor events will require either proof of vaccine or recent negative covid test and masks. Not unexpected really with covid peaking in the Bangor area right now. Anyway, keep an eye on the UMO website for an update.

                          I have NO problem with this, but, enforcement at the entrances will be interesting, IF true(I have my doubts as they just released the updated mask only policy last week). Campus PD better be ready…..

                                No thanks, Karen. I'll stick around in hopes of real hockey discussion again.
