Pretty much nailed this earlier this week.
With how much better Komarov looked in practice compared to last season I'm also a little surprised he's on the bench in favor of James. That line will likely be swapping pieces around all season.
They didn't note it in the preview but Max Scott being a captain this season will officially make the third set of brothers to do so at Maine.
Capuano: Jack (86/87 & 87/88) | Dave (88/89)
Kariya: Paul (93/94) | Steve (97/98 & 98/99) | Martin (01/02 & 02/03)
Scott: Harrison (24/25) | Max (26/27)
Had a chance to take in practices yesterday and today. Definitely much more cohesive couple of days compared to last week and a bit more clarity on what the lineup will look like for Friday.
There have been a few guys on the sidelines a bit: No Campbell in any of the three practices I've seen...
'Til The Rafters Ring with a nice season preview chat with Coach Barr. (LINK)
Encouraging to hear him touch on Boija being in a stronger place mentally. This team likely goes as far as he is able to carry them this season.
Can see them being a team that gets stronger as the year goes on but I'll keep my expectations tempered early in the season.
Looking forward to getting back up to Alfond for another couple practices before the season starts.
Caught my first practice today and middle of the pack in HE seems correct.
Barr was harping on them for a bunch of stuff, including conditioning (yikes?) so have to imagine they're not going to be a finished product by the time they hit the ice with Holy Cross. That's slightly concerning, but...
Looks like a total of $14.8m in financial contributions to Maine athletics over the last calendar year.

Peterson's under the hood numbers were elite by every metric last season and I expect the offensive numbers to follow and that he'll make the jump into the convo for best defenseman in Hockey East.
I have said it a couple times but I really think Lipinski will take a nice Year 2 leap. I'm also...
I mean at those price points those must be "I don't actually want to sell my tickets, but if you're willing to pay this exorbitant $$ you can have em" listings.
Maine gets their first 2010 commit with Jaxon Cook. PuckPreps reported that he visited Orono this weekend so sounds like it was a productive visit!

Not to mention that Peña was also an ALCS & World Series MVP (and was top-10 in MVP voting last season).
For as good of a job as the hockey program does celebrating it's professional alumni sometimes that gets lost with the other sports.
Hell, the football program had a former offensive...

I would guess the accents on his name (Côté) makes it so Cote doesn't show up. He's definitely in the directory/recruiting classes but something I'll need to check to see if it's causing redirect issues as there are a few players like that...
Not bridge related (sorry!) but really happy to let everyone know that my Black Bears history site is live a bit ahead of schedule.

Definitely appreciate the feedback a few of you gave on the preview site. I still have a few bits of data that I'll be adding...
Now that the logo is out I'm actually surprised they hadn't put it on the ice. With the teams practicing it's probably too late to drain and add now like they did with the 40th anniversary logo. Hopefully they will create some 50th patches as part of the retail merch, because I would love to...
