    Maine Black Bears 2026 Offseason: Missing Out on Mistlebacher

    Ostman allowed two goals on 35 shots in his full NHL debut last night, make of that what you will(and obviously a huge congratulations to him.)

    Maine Black Bears 2026 Offseason: Missing Out on Mistlebacher

    All of these guys seem pretty solid and this looks by far the biggest amount of talent Barr will have brought in. I wasn’t that impressed with the CHL guys he brought in last year and he has had success with transfers so nice to see him go back to that.

    Maine Black Bears 2026 Offseason: Missing Out on Mistlebacher

    To be fair, I think he was probably right. Phonegate was one of the most ridiculous things that’s happened in sports in my lifetime.

    Maine Black Bears 2026 Offseason: Missing Out on Mistlebacher

    I think who comes is a lot more important than who leaves. It will be interesting where the dust settles a month from now.

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

    Just compare what they’ve said publicly to the fine print. It’s right on the donation page. I looked at the system’s FS for the first time today and it’s pretty shocking. The system barely collects any more tuition/R&B revenue now than they did 10 years ago. Their expenses in that time have...

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

    They’re marketing this revenue push as trying to make teams more competitive when they’re really dialing for dollars to balance the books. I get there are major financial challenges at the school right now, but they need to be honest about them and not try to pull the wool over peoples eyes.

    It’s his money, he can do whatever he wants with it. I’m not concerned at all with that and my posts didn’t have anything to do with it. My problem is with how they are trying to sell this fundraising push to average fans/general public/whatever you want to call it.

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

    The phrase ‘including, but not limited to’ gives them carte blanche to do whatever they want with the money. In a literal sense this money is staying in the program, but I’m sure there is money behind the scenes that it is offsetting the donations, if they need them to.

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

    So the language when you go to donate to the student athlete experience fund is ‘including but not limited to…’ This is general fundraising dressed up as something that is supposedly specific for the team. I get times are tough financially for the school, but it’s really scummy what they are...

    It’s very frustrating so many fans said they wanted higher ticket prices. I wonder how much money they wasted on a third party to go through some exercise any idiot with a smart phone could do?

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

    I’d be very surprised if the increase in ticket prices benefits the hockey program. I get that the department/school is in dire straits financially and there are no great options, but I think they would be better off being transparent as far as where the money is going.

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

    Not sure I understand why Maine HAD to get CHL kids. There were no rules requiring teams to have a minimum amount or anything like that. Ultimately Maine did bring a number in because of how bad the traditional recruits were. If they had been better Maine could have been pickier with CHL kids...

    I think where we disagree is I’m not sure the term addict applies. He clearly has major physical problems and most likely needs pain management. Whatever the circumstances are, he obviously shouldn’t have been behind the wheel yesterday. This is somewhat of an aside, but I think as a society we...

    Where in my post did I say he should be excused? You’re definitely right as far as the average person, but he’s got a unique situation given his age and number of surgeries. I’m sure he’s in a lot of pain the vast majority of the time.

    I don’t think there is much doubt his issues stem more from physical problems versus boredom, depression, stress, etc. I’m not sure what you really can do for someone like him where his body is so beat up.

    The game used to start at like 8:00, it’s starting at 3:00 this year.

    This might have happened last year as well, but really sucks they’re putting the championship game up against the third round of masters. Massive **** you to fans.

    Or just a donation to the athletic department. I’m sure they’ll just adjust how much they give each team depending on what is received in donations. I doubt these donations make any difference to whichever team you donate to.
