2010 Maine offseason: a lazy summer on the Stillwater

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

If memory serves me right, Rick Comley of Northern Michigan recruited Tory. Tory was ruled ineligible and wasn’t allowed to play for Comley or NMU. Walsh brought him to Maine, thinking Tory was eligible, and Comley wrote a letter to the NCAA complaining, after that the investigation was on. Walsh believed Parker shared a role in the investigation also, but to what extent isn’t clear. One thing was clear at the time, there was no love lost between Parker and Walshie.

I'd like to see Nemec in more of a full-time role, he impressed with what I saw of him. Showed more than Cornell or Hegarty have so far.

When Jeff Tory enrolled at Maine and appeared on the hockey roster, I seem to recall that there were some Hockey East coaches that were well aware of Tory's academic ineligibility and reported this to the NCAA. Do you know if this was the case?

As others on this board have said, that is substantially true. However, I would point out that at the time, the NCAA Clearinghouse didn't exist, and there wasn't any procedure in place for getting a definitive ruling ahead of time on what was allowable and what wasn't. Yes, another coach recruited Tory and concluded he was not eligible, but Walsh believed that a ruling by British Columbia provincial educational authorities (or something like that) that Tory had graduated from high school was sufficient basis for Maine to presume that he was eligible. Not long after the Tory situation, the NCAA instituted the Clearinghouse. If the Clearinghouse had been in place at the time, Tory would have had to go through the Clearinghouse, which would have declared him not eligible, and Walsh would have been spared a lot of heartache.

Flynn-House-Nyquist
Abbott-Dee-Mangene (or Diamond and Mangene plays D)
Antoine-Diamond-Shemansky (if Diamond moves up and Mangene play D Andersson)
Leidermark-Andersson-Amestoy (or Beattie/Swavely/Pryor if he plays F)
Swavely-Beattie-Corkum
Maine has too many quality forwards!

Dimmen-O'neill
Van Dyk-Banwell
Nemec-Hegarty (or Mangene)
Cornell-O'connor
Pryor

Ouellette
Sullivan
Sirman
Seeley

...Dee/Abbott/Diamond will have to be counted on to pick up some of the scoring...as the 1st line of Nyquist/House/Flynn won't be able to do it every night and you can bet that top line will be watch HARD all season by the other teams...so those three will be a MUCH MORE important part of the TEAM as the Season goes on.

ummmm, were you are the Garden for the final game last season? and the final goal?

I do NOT want to see Mangene on D, not if he has to play the way Timmy wants his defensemen to play. Granted, Dumoulin was just as permissive around the net as Mangene was, but I kinda think that Dumoulin has a better up side at D.
Mangene is a fine foreward.

So I’ve been thinking of more crazy chit idea:

Here we go!

What if you replaced Flynn on the first line with Shemansky. Shemansky becomes the next Cal Ingraham and gets a bunch of those “clean up crap around the net” goals like Ingraham used to, and Shemansky seemed to have a knack for the first half of last year. Then Flynn can become the center peace of a third line. With the second line being Abbot/Dee/Diamond.

Or………maybe Flynn is not as good as his numbers and couldn’t anchor his own line and is a product of being on the same line with Nyquist and House.

Questions:

1. Could Flynn anchor his own line?
2. Would Abbot/Dee/Diamond be a #1 line on any other Hockey East teams like PC or UMass?
3. Are the Ice Girls/Cheerleaders going to get any hotter or increase in numbers?

I am kinda surprised to see all this abbott dee diamond talk.

I do not see them as a certain second line.

Abbott's strength seemed to me, to be his quarterbacking a powerplay. If Amestoy can fly, and handle the puck, maybe I would like to see him with Diamond or Dee.

as for Dee and Diamond, I never saw any particular chemistry between the 2 of them, all of their highlight reel goals were single-handed efforts. They can be split up too.

...I was saying that I would figure that these three players will be counted on to put the puck in the net...but your right that they would be better suited as #2 & #3 liners and not always together.

The guy had played a couple games at D and you think one bad play discounts him from playing there? If thats the case, Dimmen is the only guy who should be on D and thats questionable going by your criteria.

I am not really trying to attack the kid, he is a fine forward.

it was not a bad game on his part, it was one really bad play, but one that a hard nosed defenseman never would have made.

Who is a hard nosed D man on this team? I know you weren't attacking the kid. I like his speed on D, the kid can skate, Think Travis Wight

...On that play Wilson should have made that save...period. But it's over with...Mangene will be a Spark-Plug where-ever he plays and most likely a ton of time as a forward...I'm just glad he's playing for Maine.
