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

    If we want to talk about programs to cut, what is the point of funding one of the worst basketball programs in the country? At least baseball gives the University a spring sport to support

    The CHL is unavoidable. Once the door opened, many of the top American prospects bolted for the CHL. The top development path for both the USA and Canada is now CHL to NCAA. Once the water finds it's level, I suspect the potential attitude of CHL players fixes itself.

    Lipinski is as good as gone. I personally was not impressed with his play. Coughlin is probably gone as well. Usereau hopefully stays.

    Just my two cents, but the biggest thing that killed Maine this year (after goaltending) was special teams. It seems like every blown game started with a power play goal against. The drop off this season could be related to the changes at assistant coach

    According to Mike McMahon, we are getting jersey patches. I understand it takes all the money you can find to fund D1 athletics these days, but yuck :sick:

    The short answer is NU is a shitshow that was completely unprepared to close their own stadium in the middle of the season. NU has surrendered home ice in all other games played outside of Boston, so this isn't a surprise. I suspect the only reason this wasn't done immediately is that NU wanted...

    I've been selling myself on the Hughes instead of the Tkachuks. But at the end of the day it's Team USA and I would trade anything for Gold. That said, I watched a ton of Latvia and someone needs to get Tralzy into the show. They guy has really embraced the power forward role.

    I'm about 50% with you. Special teams has sunk this team, especially the leakiest penalty kill I can remember. But this team has also regressed at 5v5. The offense has really dried up and we aren't going to win many 2-1 games with how the goaltending has looked.

    In other news: I knew our special teams was bad. I didn't realize just how bad it was, but someone on the reddit put together some handy/depressing charts. https://www.reddit.com/r/collegehockey/comments/1r75sz5/special_teams_visualizations_efficiency_shooting/

    Maine is 3-4 in conference at home this season. We need a split to even possibly be 0.500.

    I'm just going off what Til The Rafters Ring posted. I wouldn't be surprised if he was sick. But a health bomb would be wild

    This is great! Unfortunately we can't count on wins at home this year

    It's one thing to question roster construction in hindsight, it's another to say Barr doesn't like being at Maine. What a wild leap. It's a down year. We are all disappointed. But some of the crap being thrown around here is INSANE

    PC is the hottest team in the conference with three straight sweeps over us and both Boston schools. In that stretch they haven't given up more than 3 goals and haven't scored less than 3 goals in any game. For that reason, I say Maine 5-1

    Maine Recruits: When Ashes Fall, Legends Rise

    Ludvig seems like a great get. 6'2" almost 200 should be useful on the blue line. Tracy is interesting in that he's still in AAA as opposed to Jrs. I'm interested in if Maine has any say in his next step (USHL or QMJHL)

    This model takes development off the table and ensures a downward slide. Not to mention the impact it would have on recruiting ...

    I would expect another goalie to come from the portal before next season unless one of these two turn it around.

    Boija is obviously massively underachieving, but Rousseau is rocking a 2.80 GAA and 0.893 SV% and has let in his share of softies. I don't really have confidence in either one.
