Maine 2012-2013 Fade to Black

It's not even an opinion...it's fact.

I agree, no comparison other than they both took penalties.

The two cheapest hits I've seen in close to 30 years of watching HE were both courtesy of Mr Ryan. He may have cleaned his act up by his senior year, but his hit on Voce ten seconds after he scored a goal couldn't have been more shocking if he'd pulled out an axe and sunk it into Voce's skull. His late game hip check on Pat Eaves where he came flying in from nowhere and sent him flying arse over tea kettle in what was the final seconds of a BC blowout and where both sides had pretty much stopped skating and Eaves was just skating in circles down near his goalie letting the clock wind down was a close second.

Ah, Voce, that little lumberjack. Now there's a better comparison for Diamond.

Don't get me wrong. Diamond still wins, going away . . .

I wonder if Shore sticks around. In my opinion, he is the very best player on the team... I have not seen anyone protect the puck like he does since Crosby, with that huge, wide stance and open wingspan.

The kid sure is a player. He was the only one on Maine who made me get antsy when he had the puck this series.

Re: Maine 2012-2013 Fade to Black

That would make sense. From the writeups, it sounds more like Diamond fell to the ice, got tangled with a UML player, tried to get up, saw his skate was stuck, got frustrated and . . . stomp.

On a related subject, LOL at the Prestin Ryan - Diamond comparisons over on the other thread. Different players. Ryan was a big strong guy who could skate. He had a mean streak - tried to turn his hip into a lethal weapon - but by the end of his college career, he had enough discipline to be situational about it. He sometimes took himself out of the play by lining up a hip check and whiffing on it, but he definitely got more responsible about that stuff over time. Not to mention: find me a box score where he took 2 majors and a misconduct in an elimination game.

ryan's senior season, +34

diamond +16 over the last two years...

and despite his checkered past, ryan managed to impress MAV of all people... the guy was a one man break-out

You think a hip check was one of the cheapest hits you've ever seen in 30 years of HE? I'll have what you are smoking. Peaves was a cheap little P rick and you have no idea what was being said on the ice, the clock was still running and you're POed because Prestin didn't quit until the horn rang, get a grip

I'll give you the hit on Voce although he was carving up Prestin all game, he didn't do that any more did he?

I do, I don't think he did though.

My guess is Whitehead is gone btw from what I've heard in the grapevine but you never know until it happens. And when you guys got him after Lowell canned him, we tried to warn all of you he'd run your program into the ground but were dismissed. He took Lowell's mid-1990s program that was doing well and 2x in NCAAs and flushed it down the toilet after Crowder left.

That was one of the best things I've ever seen in my life. Best part was little Ben eaves tried to retaliate and got kicked out as well. Two for one special!

And BTW, what happened to Maine not reaching 15 wins? If my math is correct they ended with exactly that many.

Not all of us dismissed it, there was at least 5 of us who didn't

Awesome. It's been, what? 2 weeks since you posted the same whine? I'll mark my calendar and expect it again the weekend of the regionals. Clown.

Suter directs puck to ice with his hand; puck does not touch his stick, skate or any other part of his body. Next stop is Arnolds stick. If I can pick this up on Hockey East highlights, how is is it missed by the officials scrutinizing the reply? Maine players and their fans deserve better. Refs have to stsrt getting it right and let the players dcide the game

Yet another horrible call. Obvious hand pass. These refs are horrible.

Let's count the ways you're full of **** in this post.

1. It was Fallon, not Suter who is being discussed as the player who might have hand passed it.

2. You can't pick that up on the highlights. Oh, how do I know? Because the Maine player is directly in the way of the puck once the puck hits the ice. It definitely is gloved down, but after that point it's impossible to tell if he gets his stick on it or not.

But thanks for playing.

Wally, I was at the game and saw the play unfold right in front of me, you were not and take my word for it when I tell you that it was totally uncalled for and could have caused serious injury.

You mean like when Peaves steamrolled Joe Exter?
