I don't have alot of confidence on the road and against a good goalie.

All who are surprised by this, raise your hands.

Re: Maine Black Bears 2010 - 2011

Well, something has to give this weekend. Maine and PC are tied with 9 points in HE. They are looking at BC,BU,UNH and Merrimack ahead of them. Just checked the schedule, Maine plays Merrimack in a single game January 8th at Lawler Arena. Two games at the Alfond February 25th and 26th.

That's why wins are big in Hockey East this year...can't take a night off...Merrimack is hungry and eyeing that 4th spot for home ice....as I said before Merrimack will beat every H.E. team at least once this season....except for Maine..[I Hope...!]

they are tied and looking up at all of those teams, but that said, they have at least two games in hand on everyone except for unh (1 game in hand) and umass (who they have played the same number of games).

If they stop playing now, in 8 weeks (end of January), they will be in 1st place.

Thats what I'm talkin' about

Re: Maine Black Bears 2010 - 2011

Maybe Maine should take every weekend off, they went from 10th to 9th in the poll this week

Re: Maine Black Bears 2010 - 2011

Are you kidding me?? He didn't play that long ago - he couldn't have even been 30?

He was 28. Played two seasons for Maine. (2001-2003).

Visited the services tonight for former Black Bear Paul Lynch, who passed earlier this week. Maine fans should know that Paul was in a Maine jersey at the viewing.

Here is the funeral home's website, look at list on left of page for link to Paul's arrangements.

Nick Pryor is back! I hope he has a successful return to the ice. Perhaps he can get Maine's PP back on track.

Re: Maine Black Bears 2010 - 2011

There have been 3 studies since then.......all with the same basic results. The anti-arena crowd has had YEARS to mount this campaign to stop it.......this has been a well publicized project. It's pretty lame that they wait until the stroke of midnight to stop this project from proceeding. You can make all of the excuses that you want walrus......doesn't change the FACTS.

Re: Maine Black Bears 2010 - 2011

Yes
I think they should have, did they? And how to figures from 2003 relate to today? Its a study thats now 8 years old, I call it worthless in todays economy

Don't you think that someone should have thought about this back in 2003 when they proposed it and before they spend hunreds of thousands on it??? .
