Re: Maine 2012-2013 Fade to Black
Unless BC gets healthy soon, I think pretty much anyone in the league can beat them, even at Conte. Down to 5 D-men, 4 of which are freshmen, without their leading goal scorer (Whitney) and another top forward in Hayes. Reminds me of 2002 when Maine clobbered another undermanned BC squad in the quarter finals.

Thanks Chuck. Every season we unfortunately miss him, and his drive, and his intensity, and seeing his teams carry that onto the ice game after game, more and more.

Re: Maine 2012-2013 Fade to Black
All well for the most part but i think u need to rethink the word " horrific acts" Ncaa sanction's are not in any realm to what a horrific act is. Also his moral inefficiencies as you seem to no so much about pale to what a "horrific act is".
Rape, murder, animal abuse or what I call horrific acts. Easy on the drama, where not writing for TMZ.
Also I and I think many others know shawn was not perfect but non of us are and hero's to which shawn is for many of us, usually do have flaws which draw us into them more. Look at history and who are considered Hero's, they tend to have many flawes. If it came out shawn was a unfaithful in his marriage, did some blow it's not going to cause me to lose my respect for the man as we are all flawed but if he did some horrific acts then....

Stop it Chuck! You and I have been reduced to very few posts but the only reason you miss Walsh is to crucify him. Priceless know one should deify him, but on the other hand he was the best G.D. hockey coach we will ever see. And K.I.A. if Monty were to take over, and I hope he has that opportunity, I still don't see Grant even as the volunteer coach. I love Grant but he did bring us Jeff Marshall, Wes Clark, Simon Denis and lots of other mediocre recruits at the end. This years freshmen class is the best we have had since Nyquist, Abbot, and Flynn. And next year actually looks good too!
As for next weekend in Durham we will need at least a split as I do expect UMASS to split with a fading Merrimac team.

Well, that was fun at times too, admittedly.
He was probably the best "big-game" coach HE has ever seen, and the beautiful thing about it was Walshy would always seem to find a way to let you know that. Flawed for sure ... self-promoting and egotistical, check, lightning rod for attention of all sorts, check, always looking for edges - even where he shouldn't have been (anyone remember "retroactive financial aid"?), gamesmanship galore, etc. ad nauseum. But never boring, not for a single second. His players would run through walls for him, and I don't think he ever coached a team that underachieved. I'm 100% serious when I say he's missed badly at the WIS Estate. Call it posthumous respect for a fallen competitor, or whatever, but I think most of you guys knew my grudging respect for Walshy's accomplishments well before he passed. Love him or not love him ... definitely one of a kind, no one else has since come close.

That was nothing, Prestin Ryan probably hit Lundin harder than that at practice.

Re: Maine 2012-2013 Fade to Black
don't know which was worse, the hit, or the announcers kicking him while he was down, then backing the car over him for good measure....

Brian Flynn played his first two games in the NHL yesterday and tonight. He had 13 shifts (8+ minutes) against the Devils yesterday, and 18 shifts (just under 13 minutes) against the Rangers tonight. No points. plus-minus was zero.

I agree that the freshmen are the best incoming class in a long while, but I have to wonder just why it was that Jimmy and Grant sent Morris to Maine in the first place.
kinda makes ya think.

I'm a Tim Whitehead fan........not a Tracy Mason fan. Priceless's heroine worship of her borders on bizarre.

Yes........I'm sure that she still looks like a Beverly Hills Housewife..........probably still looks like she is 30 as well.

Re: Maine 2012-2013 Fade to Black
Anyway........back to UM hockey. I think that the team performed really well this weekend. Remember, Northeastern was still playing for something as well. I think that Whitehead will have the troops ready this weekend and Maine will get the split down in Durham. UMass will get swept by Merrimack anyway.
Go Black Bears!
And for god sakes Abbott.........give Coach Whitehead an extension! We are going to lose recruits if he doesn't get a new extension.........opposing coaches will use that to their advantage.

The Maine facilities are named for her husband and their son is on the Maine team but she's a Spartan Princess. OK then...
