Number 20 still looks lost and they shuffled pairings. Put him with 18. Of coarse this is lost.... as is my knowledge of old port, evidently.

Originally posted by Ma#1ne Hky View PostAs far as Swayman for the Hobey Baker Award, he should have his name mentioned in it...he has kept Maine afloat. Listening to the Omaha play by play yesterday they raved about Swayman and said they thought he was one of the top netminders in the nation that they have seen. And not to be bias he "IS"..!!!
Maine Hockey: I want to believe
43-21-4 (.662) in games I attended over 4 years as a student
104-47-14 (.669) in that time
3x FROZEN FOUR
11-20-2 in games I've attended since. (2-2-1 under Red)

Re: Maine
Originally posted by Ma#1ne Hky View PostIt has happen before...but in Swaymans case, Maine's position in total wins and playing for Hardware like the Hockey East Regular and Post season and being a threat to play in the NCAA's and a possible Frozen 4 team is not there. For him to have a chance he'd have to carry them where they have not been in years...but he is a legit top goaltender in the Country. That's why I fear he is gone after this season and off starting his pro career, 1st in the ECHL then up to the AHL level and from there, who knows depending on how he does. With that said this weekends game versus the US development team would be a ideal time to play the #2 and #3 netminders. (just imo). Give Swayman a weekend off.
And Maine will be a hopeless case without him.

Originally posted by Fishman'81 View PostI doubt that he'll leave Maine for an ECHL position. That's D-3 stuff. If he has a guarantee of an AHL job..? Yeah, he's probably out the door.

Re: Maine
Jaro Halak is done this year, assuming he gets paid elsewhere and the Bs feel Vlader is ready to back up Rask, there’s a spot in Providence with Sway’s name on it. Doubtful to get 4 years out of anyone of his caliber esp with the free agency rules

Originally posted by Ma#1ne Hky View PostYes on ECHL...to start off, lots of teams send there goaltending prospects there to play more...then make the next step up to the AHL...check around lots of NHL teams are doing it.
The ECHL used to be just another fight-league for guys who would never make it to The Show. And it was one of many in that regard. Any form of minor league hockey South of the AHL was a dead-end s***-show for many many years.
Not sure how many of the current crop even get a cup of coffee in the NHL these days, but the ECHL does look like a possible pipeline right now.
Still, if I'm Sway, I'm not coming out anywhere without a hefty signing bonus.
