    Mildly interesting that Poirier is still not officially in the portal.

    If I remember correctly Stockfish was a BIG dude - and we could use some size. Additionally would fit the build of us taking transfers from smaller universities that we played in non conference games since Barr has been there. Bentley transfers / Mitton from Colgate....

    I completely agree with this.

    Maine Black Bears 2026 Offseason: Missing Out on Mistlebacher

    I want to be careful in wording this because I don't feel it's right to sh-t on leaving players, as I was very excited to watch Poirier this year and missed him greatly post-injury. From night one, his demeanor didn't look like a Barr culture guy. Just the way he carries himself doesn't seem to...

    Pretty sure it's McKenna getting $700K, who's about to go 1/1 in the draft. Insane money regardless, but justifiable to some degree.

    I think is less of a Maine issue as much as this is a sign of the times in college sports. Football and Basketball has turned into glorified Free Agency for players trying to get as much NIL money as possible....hockey is just catching up at a smaller scale. I do not blame the kids at all for...

    I'd guess Michigan or Penn State.

    I've said numerous times that I expected basically an entirely new locker room for next year, but the reality of it still really sucks. I'd guess Barr went scorched earth, combined with a few guys that wanted more $.

    Poirier to the portal...f*ck. Per Mike McMahon

    Certainly a handful of names that are a bummer to lose, but IF that's all....I think Barr can overcome it. Obviously the biggest question is who's heading to Orono. Time will tell! Portal only open for 15 days, correct?

    UMaine 25-26: Marques My Word: Back to the Big Time

    A lot of recruiting talk, which makes plenty of sense, but I'm still very curious in Barr's role in the recruiting process. Obviously, the HC has the final say on all of these guys but pre-Maine it was clear he was constantly on the road meeting players / getting eyes on these guys and given the...

    UMaine 25-26: Marques My Word: Back to the Big Time

    Both teams won HE championships - win/win for both sides and a HE title + Pro deal for Frank.
