    University of Maine 2024–2025: Freel-ing good

    What you said. Bryant is just too long and athletic for Maine, and Timberlake is an NBA-caliber player. They have a legit chance to win a game or two in The Dance, if they get a fair seed in the 1st round. Still (and here I go again), Chris Markwood has been the best thing to happen to Maine...

    University of Maine 2024–2025: Freel-ing good

    That degree of a precipitous drop on the basis of one loss v. UML is actually possible? Seems crazy, but I'll take your word for it. Still, I can't root against my boys, no matter what the PW implications might be. Call me overly sanguine, but I don't think that this team is a prohibitive...

    UNH 2024/2025 Goldberg Edition

    Not to butt-in, but that's exactly how the Maine fans (well, those of us with several functioning brain-cells, anyway) felt about Gendron being extended after he'd already run the program, face-down, into the turf. Hockey East has enjoyed a great season thus far, yes, but, for the sake of the...

    Looks like a dog fight, but at least UML put UHN out of our misery.

    University of Maine 2024–2025: Freel-ing good

    Tough call for me. Probably VM or UNH. The other two teams can out-Maine Maine, on a good night.

    University of Maine 2024–2025: Freel-ing good

    The D was absolutely suffocating, for sure. And Maine never wilted in a physical sense, while VT was clearly gassed in the late going. Well, here's to Markwood making Maine his long-term gig. His wife was a Bear, he was too, and he's a South Portland kid... Maybe that'll add-up to having him...

    Markwood has worked wonders at Maine. Hope he sticks around. Anybody know when his contract is up?

    I was stunned by how well he played at OSU, but pleasantly stunned.

    University of Maine 2024–2025: Freel-ing good

    Going WAY back on this one, but Jeff Nord and Jimmy Torterella were mentioned in Hockey News as the best goalie tandem in college hockey c. 1981. I saw them both many times, and they might not have been the "best", but they were pretty damned good. Played pool at my dorm with Jimmy and John a...

    Darling was stellar, too, before he was dismissed from the team. That must have been a kick in the balls for Tim. Sure was for me.

    Utica University 2024-25 - Retooled and Reloaded

    I don't care about attendance. When have I ever said that I do? Deflection there.

    Utica University 2024-25 - Retooled and Reloaded

    Dipshit, I have never won an NC, and neither have you. I just watch my local team. The degree of vicarious credit various people assume on here is beyond ludicrous. Sad, really. Ain't you ever going to progress past the 6th grade, emotionally? You know a lot about our little obscure sport...

    Utica University 2024-25 - Retooled and Reloaded

    I have no conspiracy theories to advance in that regard. (Ask MAGA nubbie, she can likely come-up with one.) I've been there a bunch of times, been snowed-on while sitting inside, had my ass freeze to the few (and low) aluminum bleachers, etc... But my only real complaint about that place is...

    Utica University 2024-25 - Retooled and Reloaded

    2,600 in attendance for one game constitutes more people than have (likely) been at The Cooler all season long. Do you have a point to make here? And, more importantly, who TF cares?

    Utica University 2024-25 - Retooled and Reloaded

    Easily more verifiable asses in the seats than very many D-1 programs, and waaaay more that the vast bulk of D-3...Not that it matters much, but that's a fact. Attendance-envy is a stupid point to attempt to make in light of the numbers, ain't it? The Cooler is the worst hockey venue I've ever...

    2025 Bracketology: The Road to Utica!

    I hear you, and I'm very frustrated that the D-3 mafia has obfuscated the process, just as in the Smoky Room era. Those numb-skulls hate transparency, evidently, because that will force them to be accountable. (Ironically, that's exactly what they rail against, inside The Beltway.) We all all...

    University of Maine 2024–2025: Freel-ing good

    Absolutely. Maine had two sub-par goalies that year, but a pretty good set of forwards.

    Oh my goodness. I'm very sad.

    University of Maine 2024–2025: Freel-ing good

    That's a tough one. So many great goalies have played at Maine. Longevity is maybe a factor to me, but, based on actual games played, I wouldn't quibble with Boija being on the short list. (I guess I'd go with Jimmy right now, though.) And let's not forget King, who, like Sway, had shitty...

    2025 Conference Tournament Mega-Thread

    I never said anything about which bodies run things this way, I just pointed-out that's it's a dumb and inequitable system. (Which it is, undeniably.)
