Dont see a winning record this year and will be battling to at best get into HE playoffs and not finish in bottom level. It just might be enough for Ken to shake it up.
Sticking with that anyway.

I think that is outstanding. I realize he didn’t win HE player of the year or win the Hobey... but being 97 percentile is outstanding in my book. And I think most people would agree.

Being a 2nd team All-Hockey East lately certainly doesn't equate to playing elite hockey, but he wasn't bad.Last edited by Fishman'81; 07-22-2019, 09:16 PM.

When he was renewed for doing nothing, that screamed to me that Maine would never eat his contract. Still haven't figured that renewal out.
Not at all worried about his recruits de-committing, in any case. He never brings in any real talent, anyway. Let them go to Bentley if they prefer. (If Bentley wants them.)
Maine is a total re-build at this point. My guess is that Red will suck for 2 more years, then be put out to pasture. Then, Maine will suck for years to follow. Red was a disaster of a hire.Last edited by Fishman'81; 07-22-2019, 09:39 PM.

And we will see how much Pearson is missed.Last edited by NorthMike; 07-22-2019, 11:08 PM.

Shouldnt they have a little dough in the coffer from Harasmiak breaking his contract.
