HEA QF's: #5 'Mack @ #4 Maine

Re: HEA QF's: #5 'Mack @ #4 Maine

That was a cute move by Cornell, pick up the MC stick and skate away with it, don't hear many Maine fans talking about that one...

I was thinking you were a reasonable MC fan but it appears you'll dodge every example thrown your way about why MCs COACHED play isn't really hockey but a sideshow. Love to see them play that way in a league that allows one to defend themselves without getting a DQ

You're right, the 30+ games this season don't count for anything before this weekend. The 43 wins in the last 2 seasons were just a farce. As much as coaching, I think it was the youth on the team being in the high pressure situations for the first time and didn't handle it well. Most of the scrums were with the freshman and sophomores from what I recall.

I don't know how you all think I'm being unreasonable on either of my statements. I wasn't saying Abbott dove at any point, I'm saying you shouldn't be surprised he got sent off because the refs had been calling matching minors all weekend. I'm not defending the refs.

TripleE, you're right I didn't watch any of the games this weekend I'm actually going off of the game logs and word of mouth, please point out something in what I said there that you don't get.....You're accusing me of dodging the MC issues, but when I bring up Diamond's facemask, you go on a complete bender. Comparing fan behavior to behavior of the players on the ice is just pointless so stop. If players on the ice were held to the same standards as fans, they'd have a beaten path to the local police station after every game. Game 3, Maine didn't retaliate at all really, so why didn't Diamond just shove Bly away and let him take the minor? Does what Bly did to him justify yanking off the facemask? Because your whole statement sounds like a big excuse for what Diamond did, but I'm pretty sure the rule book doesn't have a qualification that the refs can disregard things because the player was provoked. That's why MC got a ton of retaliation penalties, especially ones in Game 3 that killed them.

Re: HEA QF's: #5 'Mack @ #4 Maine

Ok, I really thought it was time to focus on BU but after watching "Abbott's Embellishment" it does confirm what we all saw take place this w/e. Would love to hear from redurk86 or MCHOCKEY who seem to be level headed guys and get their take on what frustrated UMaine fans this w/e. Maybe we are missing something if so please enlighten us

I'm sorry, don't feel like reading through all this crap about our coach...what are you actually asking me here...I'll be more than happy to give my insite on anything you want to know. As a alum and fan of Merrimack, and a long time fan of Maine, I'll give you my honest opinion. Just let me know what you want to know...and ask me about any of the particular situations. I watched every minute of every game (a few of those moments multiple times on DVR) so fire at will and I'll try to give you my most unbiased opinion. Thanks for the kind words about being level headed...I like to think so.

If you didn't watch any of the games then you obviously are clueless as to what ACTUALLY happened and therefore any argument you make is invalid and worthless to everyone...

As for Diamond's five minute major I'm still confused as to what the intitial call was going to be as the ref pointed to him to go to the box before he grabbed Bly's face mask because he only recieved the one penalty.

Please pick it up, I'm done banging my head against the wall repeating myself and having people not understand a word I said, claiming I didn't actually watch any of the plays and that I'm "unreasonable".

Go Maine.

I'll ask you a question, what do you think would happen to MC players, if they played in a league that allowed fighting without a DQ

LOL...that all depends on who you are looking to fight and who is actually doing the fighting. I would love to see Flannigan and Bigos fight to see what they can do. I bet both those guys could hang in there...but in all seriousness, what would happen to any player in NCAA if they played in a league that allowed fighting w/o a DQ...Come on Walrus, you guys have Diamond...he's known to be one of the biggest instigators in the league (trust me, I'd love him on my team but hate him where he isn't). Things happen in the college game b/c of the controls in place...hell, even Da Costa was known to do things to get under the skin of the opposition, but he wouldn't dare do it up in the NHL or AHL...that would just be stupid. It's all part of the environment they play in. Are you saying MC is the only team that has ever done that? Come on man...you and I have watched college hockey long enough to know that isn't true. It was a chippy series in both ways. The hit on Bates on Friday was vicious...and if you can't see that, you gotta take off the light blue glasses...did he intend to injure Bates? I don't think so. He doesn't seem like the type of player to do that...but it happened. And that sort of got the ball rolling on the series. From that point on, people were taking shots left and right...watch the MC broadcast of game 3. Myers slashed the stick out of Cornell's hands b/c Cornell was skating with Kolomatis' stick. Cornell was doing it to draw the penalty...there were slashes, and there was definitely some diving going on (and for good reason, the refs were calling it, you gotta at least go for it). There were wrongs on both sides and nobody in this series was innocent.

Having said that, I agree that Abbott didn't deserve the matching penalty from the face off incident (I giggled when that happened, after I swore at Toomey for pulling that). But I also think the penalty could have been more severe on Diamond for the way he pulled the mask of Bly...did bly deserve the 2 he was going to get for grabbing him from behind? Absolutely...but Diamond went overboard. If it wasn't a playoff game, Diamond would have gotten the 5 minute Major along with a game DQ (including Game 3). So again, the crap went on from both sides. Don't stand on your high horse thinking your boys in blue were completely innocent, just like I sit here admitting to the wrongs of the MC players.

Re: HEA QF's: #5 'Mack @ #4 Maine

you saw NONE of the games and you are commenting on how much Maine was involved in the scrums?

is this another of Forsyth's pseudonyms? just trolling?

he was being sarcastic LOL Wow, that is 2 people who didn't get the sarcasm. Kind of funny.

Re: HEA QF's: #5 'Mack @ #4 Maine

goodness so a couple belgian soldiers peed in public during WWII and now they are just as bad as the SS...

wow

I am not sure what this is in reference to, but if you'd like to elaborate, that would be great.

 

[MCHOCKEY]

Re: HEA QF's: #5 'Mack @ #4 Maine

he was not being sarcastic.
re read his post.
talk about shaded glasses

He watched all the games (not sure if he was there or watched it on TV), but read his posts a few posts later about how someone didn't pick up on his sarcasm...he did watch the games, but someone was making it sound like he got his info from the word of mouth or gamelogs...that was sarcasm. You are funny KIA

 

[MCHOCKEY]

Re: HEA QF's: #5 'Mack @ #4 Maine

MC is done. Lets move on.

ACS has it right...you guys are making it sounds like either A) You lost the series b/c MC was playing dirty or B) all your good players were taken off the ice on a stretcher and aren't available for BU...you guys won the series...you guys deserved to win the series...it's time to move on...things happen, just let it go and move on. Jesus, what happened to the fans up there...they all used to be so evenkeeled and passionate...now some are just obnoxious...they sound like UNH and BC fans with their holier than thou attitude how their players can do no wrong and it's all on the other team...just let it go for Christ's sake. It's over. Move on...You guys have BU coming up. And that isn't going to be a picnic in the park.

 

[MCHOCKEY]

Re: HEA QF's: #5 'Mack @ #4 Maine

ok, gotcha... but he said that he got it from word of mouth and that he didn't see the games...
not the John Cleese wit that I would have expected from a friend of yours.

To be completely honest KIA, I have no idea who rdurk even is...that is the funny thing...I know he said he got it from word of mouth, but that was where he was being sarcastic...I didn't even know rdurk was an MC fan until this string of posts LOL I've been around too long apparently LOL

 

[Sweeper]

i pick on you because you refuse to read what

The funny thing is I pick on you because you pick on everyone and no1 says anything back.(maybe the odd person) I pick on you because you never think your wrong and try to force what you say on everyone.

I do read what you write about Abbott and besides saying he's got a good shot you have trashed him all year while he piles up the points for YOUR fav team. And just because I read it doesn't mean I need to respond

I have no problem giving credit to Ocon, do I think
He's the best d man?? No. Like I said last post I could careless who scores the winning goals, I want to see Maine do well as a team. But when we have a shot at having a player win a huge award for not only
Him but the bb's why wouldn't I back him, and want to see him
Tear it up. He goes out gives it his all and you come on here and say he can't pass he can't do this he can't do that, so I get sick of hearing you talk chit about a player who's leading the league, who's up for the hobey, and who has helped out Maine a lot this year. I don't care if some1 passes him on he apples lol good for them, I enjoy seeing ppl do well.

Lastly let's go beat BU this weekend!! And I more than likely made lots of typos on my phone that you can pick out and make fun of me for

Re: HEA QF's: #5 'Mack @ #4 Maine

you got the wrong troll on the misspellings... I am the one who was picked on for years for my post: "I have little respect for the imagination of a person who can only think of one way to spell a word."

now thats funny

 

[lkenney]

now thats funny

It ought to be. It's Mark Twain.

 

[lkenney]

you know what else is funny?
never thinking I am wrong is what THIS screen name does.
the other 4 regular screen names are much friendlier... and are called out by KnowItAll, all the time.

This may be indicative of an illness.
