Re: Maine Black Bears 2010 - 2011

bdn article on sullivan... also talks about the injury situation (though provides little clarity)

http://new.bangordailynews.com/2010/...ong-for-bears/

one thing i read into it was that the job is sully's... white head says:

“We want to give the other goalies an opportunity to play when we can."

I read that as he's our #1 and we'll try to work the others into the lineup when we can....

Maine could win 10-0 and you'd still find something to ***** about.

This team is deep, no need to worry, they'll still go undefeated the rest of the way.

In seriousness, depth is certainly a strong suit this year. Awful nice after the last few. Maybe O'Conner will see some ice time this weekend. He's only played in one game so far.

Re: Maine Black Bears 2010 - 2011

According to Whitehead on the TW Show....Amstoy & Andersson are ready for the NU series...O'Neill as mentioned before,out 4-6 wks...House is still a question-mark as being ready,more to be known by Wednesday. Diamond has a nagging lower body injury that he has had all season...this week vs NU sounded like he would be out. So thats it in a Nut-Shell.

Re: Maine Black Bears 2010 - 2011

I'm one of the biggest O'Neill supporters out there but with Abbott on the point on the power play anyways I think we'll survive. Certainly rather have him out there than not but....

Re: Maine Black Bears 2010 - 2011

O'Neill: 4-6 weeks

Thats NOT good...what type of injury...any news if Diamond/Andersson/Amstoy will be available this weekend vs NU..?

Re: Injuries

O'Neill and Diamond both suffered "lower body" injuries. Diamond came back for a shift in OT, but Whitehead said he clearly wasn't 100% and he wasn't sure if he was gonna miss any games. He said O'Neill will likely miss "a few weeks." Said he wasn't sure how much longer House will be out. Given the fact that he was "questionable" all week, I'd venture to guess it's nothing too serious.

...Todays BDNews said that House had a Back Injury...but no timetable when he would be back.

Re: Maine Black Bears 2010 - 2011

Yeah, pretty bizarre calls on that one. I was positive Maine would get a PP, matching at worst if the zebras wimped out. But a PP for BU when Diamond got cold cocked while standing there with his hands down? It's amazing since contact to the head in the course of play will get you a game misconduct and a five minute major now.

It seems like only yesterday that Gryba did whatever he wanted to in the crease and had carte blanche from the officiating crew. And Currying the net off its moorings was a non-punishable crease activity.
