Barr checked with you first on your prediction before doing what most thought he would ?
To be honest I thought Maine wouldn't have the legs to go toe to toe with a team that quite frankly already outskated them twice this season. And there was the rest factor which was a concern of the...
Not bad Black Bears :) Now the heavy lifting begins. Lets get on with it !! After last nights performance I now have no doubt the NC is within reach.
Unreal work ethic with these guys. Proud to be a BB .
Impressive performance from your guys last night. An epic game, one of the best back and forth battles I can remember from watching Maine play for the last almost 40 years.
UConn no doubt try to take advantage of Maine' s late game. Like I said I think their best hope for tonight is for Booyaah to stand on his head and give them a fighting chance. You never know in this game though, maybe Barr and staff will have a strategy for slowing them down. Maine does have...
Fun nailbiter for sure. NU showed a lot, tough team to play against. Hoping the boyz can recover quickly enough to have the energy for tonight, they will need it. UConn playing very good hockey right now....a tough out. Booyahh needs to be the man tonight.
Unfortunately yeah, I agree with ya ecat. Maine will be gassed and UConn has some guys with wheels. UConn 4, Maine 2. Only way Maine is in it is if Booooyahh absolutely stands on his head.
It will be interesting to see whether NU will line up 5 guys on the blue line like they did against BC to force them to dump and chase all night. I assume they wont because that strategy will play into Maine's forecheck and their ability to play demolition derby along the boards. Dont believe...
It is all about the coach and his winning ways. IF he wins, the money will follow. I remember in the early 80's pre-Walshy the Alfond was a concrete walled absolute train wreck, acoustical nightmare. Those walls were highly finished concrete almost glass like and they echoed noise like...
Guess it really does speak to the coaching staff and systems put in place to be ranked so high with such a bunch of slackers and talentless players . We’ve seen it all in the past, the distant past. Could be a motivation going forward
I disagree with Potluck. If you get THE coach very soon, everything else can and likely will fall into place, hence no need to step away from Hockey East. Having to endure 2 more years with minimal results though might put the last nail in the coffin of that happening, unless someone with...
Well said (snarky is sometimes required), particularly coming from one with a lot more experience and knowledge than those who received the email.....Dumais has some Maine ties I believe, played HS hockey at St. Doms then went on to play at and then assistant coach at Quinnipiac. His stay there...
Seeing that the Mainuhs are taking over your thread here, thought I'd add my half a cent. Without a doubt, the consensus is that your head coach needs to be replaced, with a great deal of emphasis on NOW rather than in 2 years. Thats been discussed ad nauseum for some time now.....so this begs...
Yep, pretty much agreed on those points. Better to dump and chase against a trapping defense than turn it over at center ice. With todays trap you dont have much choice, but having Breen in the lineup and Antonnaci refinding his game I think they have a few more outlets to avoid the trap...
Way back a couple months ago on this thread I predicted UHN would finish with all L's. At the time I was half kidding, but apparently I was spot on. Hey, someone has to finish in the cellar, why not be our good neighbors? In all fairness and sympathy, I have started a Go Fund Me page for the...
Is Breen ready to go yet? Be nice to see him on the ice soon, give his line a little more speed and creativity. Boooyahh is gonna have to be lights out tonight.
