I know I would rather have Tralmaks on the first line. But others have voiced they think it is better with balanced lines. I tend to think if you can give your best shot at scoring five on five, then with Swayman you will be in the games and win most. Of course, the players need to play with discipline and avoid giving up too many power plays.
    It's definitely a tough call. Maine has too few scorers to go around, no matter how you slice it.

    I think I'd rather have Tralmax back on the 1st line, though. Shea has good wheels and strength, but bad hands. He reminds me of Bells.

    Front-load the team, and see what happens. Neither approach has made any difference in either case, truly, but that's the way I'd go right now.

      IMO the rules are far more equitable now than when every region was guaranteed a bid. Now, the CWS field is essentially chosen on merit alone.

      Having said that, it was a hell of a lot more fun when a Maine or a LeMoyne or a St. John's was in Omaha, and that possibility certainly had to help with recruiting up here.
      That is true, equitable was a poor word choice. The rules are as they should be. Previously they were skewed in the favor of cold weather schools.

        It sure makes for a less interesting CWS, though, when every team is from the SEC/ ACC/ Pac-10... Still, the current system if pretty fair.

        Perhaps you're right in saying that Maine should cut baseball, softball, etc. and put the money into hockey, hoops, field hockey. The Spring sports have been throwing good money after bad for years and years now. Hard to make a logical point in support of continuing to do so.

          Well I know what I would do as a plant manager. Gear up. For manufacturing.

            Every smart investor knew this was coming. And also can take full advantage of a normal and unsuspecting person.

              I love you and respect you as a Maine Engineer. Anyone that has spent time up on top of that bridge in Bucksport knows.

                The fact of the matter is no matter how hard we run engineering ... we are always considered ****.

                        “For years and years” Steve Trimper had a helluva lot better than Red ever has or will. OK maybe the replacement isn’t up for the job doesn’t mean they should cancel the program. Softball was in the conference title game twice in the last 5 years what other sport can say that? Womens basketball. So lets cancel everything except them then.

                        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)

                                Those are easy. The question really came in with the potential three-way ties. ME-BU-Lowell or ME-BU-PU. Maine comes out on top of the heap of the former by being 2-0 vs. BC (assuming BC wins HE). And comes in at the bottom of the latter due to H2H record.
