not sure what to make of it, but while at the ff, i was talking to someone who is very well connected in the college hockey world who doesn't think whitehead is going to be extended (at least right now anyway), despite the comments made by james in the newspapers... i am sure we can all take that with a grain of salt, but if there's any shred of truth to it, then it'll be interesting to see how things play out...

this same person is also expecting union's coach (leaman) to be named head coach at ohio state...

again, just summarizing a discussion i had with someone who i know to have many, many contacts in the college hockey world... should be interesting

Ah, crap. You've probably had the anchor avatar for months, if not years. But I hadn't noticed until today (when I got around to getting one of my own).

You got there first, so I'll give mine up. :o
 
Re: 2010 Maine offseason: a lazy summer on the Stillwater

In other news, rampant and unfounded speculation on Nick Saban leaving the Miami Doplhins was put to rest...oh wait.

Until he signs on the dotted line, nothing will surprise me. And I still say it better have a UMaine friendly buyout opton after years one and/or two.

Unfounded. No NCAAs 3 years in a row, no Garden 3 years in a row, multiple guys kicked out of the program for character issues, consecutive pitiful recrutiing classes and a midseason schnide that ruined this past season.

And I like the guy and believe we should be in St. Paul next year. But unfounded...no.

The trouble with that argument is that all those things didn't happen simultaneously. 3 years of no NCAAs are the last 3 years. No Garden was 06-08. There have been some pitiful recruiting classes, but not during the 3 years we haven't made the NCAAs.

Last years freshmen had an immediate impact. Nyquist/Flynn/Abbott/O'Neill is enough to make '08 unpitiful. Sweetland/House/Dee/Dimmen is enough to make '07 productive. And a lot of the 'character' guys came in the year before, so we wont even KNOW if that class would have been a failure on the ice, and even that class was headlined by Teddy.

When we scoff at last years seniors, lets just remember that they were pretty much the debris leftover after the storm that overtook that years' class....oh, and an underachieving Dartmouth transfer ;)

That's 28 players. Anyone smarter then me want to guess
(1) if the roster stays that large, or if some of these are not with the team next October
(2) what lines might look like to start the 2010-11 season?

Re: 2010 Maine offseason: a lazy summer on the Stillwater

The extention is coming. But like Bosox said, it BETTER have a buyout for years 1 and 2. Although he may only get 3 years. In that case there won't be any buyout clause.

That looks about right. With injuries, performance issues, wear and tear etc, the roster has to be oversized. I don't know if they're still playing it, but back in the day they used to have a Sunday night game for the guys who didn't play that weekend. IIRC, we had 33 or 34 players on the roster in '93.
 
Re: 2010 Maine offseason: a lazy summer on the Stillwater

I believe the fact that those things didnt happen at the same time makes it worse. Blame is to be shared, most og the awful recruiting classes were guy perrons. But the buck stopa with whitehead. To say criticism of a man who did as poor a job as he did in 08 and 09 is unfounded, to me, just isnt accurate.

There were 31 players on the 92-93 roster--4 goalies, 8 defense, 19 forwards.
