Maine 2012-2013 Fade to Black

Arnold said the player who passed it with his hand hit it with his stick before Arnold got it

Arnold scoring the game winner still makes me chuckle, you suppose he could have helped Maine?

The more you post the more you remind of a UNH fan. BC must be the newest Skating Mother Theresas

it was eave's hip that made head contact, not his knee.
and exter was playing the puck, and eaves threw his hip, intentionally into exters head.

Is that so? If you google the incident, every single article states that it was Eaves' left knee and if you don't believe me, just look at Exter's Wiki page. It was a split second reaction and Eaves attempted at the very last split second to jump over a diving Exter and his knee unintentionally made contact to Exter's head. Exter himself said it was not Eaves' fault but instead a "hockey play". Anyone that argues otherwise isn't being honest.

I think the major difference between guys like PEaves and Ryan/Diamond types is that while they are all chippy and play with an edge, oftentimes pushing the limits of clean play, Ryan and Diamond have both absolutely lost it on several occasions (i.e. the Voce & Eaves hits, kicking, etc) and quite frankly were un-coachable at times (see Diamond this weekend). Again, not saying PEaves was an angle, but he never came close to reaching the pinnacle of "over the top" dirty play like those other two did.

"Angle" Looks like that BC education is paying off.

there may have been stick contact, in which case it was a good goal...I just wish hockey east would come out and say it.

You want them to make a statement that says that a goal that was not overturned by replay was good? I suppose you also expect Maine to go undefeated next year too. The odds both both of those happening are about the same.

See, this is how we know you can never be objective, because all the video shows that Exter did no such thing.

Yes, it's ironic he scored the winning goal and does make it harder for us to accept. Players commit and de-commit for a lot of different reasons. There's no question he could have helped Maine. Utimately, I hope it works out for everyone.

I can't tell if you guys are being serious, because at the end of the day, Maine has still only made the NCAA's once in the past what, 6 years, and since then has gone a combined 95-101-27. And guess what, you may have some good freshmen, but so do other teams; and last I checked, BC has about 6 or 7 potential future All Americans coming in next year to boot. What you see is what you get with TIMMAY, lots of below average to poor years, with an occasional NCAA appearance when all the stars align. You're kidding yourselves if you judge him on the initial success he had in those first few years following Walsh and when he had Standbrook around, because that wasn't the real TIMMAY.

Well, there you have it, boys. We've been graced with a post from above. None of us are smart enough to say the same thing, even though we've been saying the same thing. Thanks for coming down from your throne at BC to bless us poor unfortunates with your presence and wisdom.

Did you just cite wikipedia as an unimpeachable source?

I mean, I knew you were an idiot, but I guess I didn't know you were a massive idiot.

Give me a minute to make the edit and the page will say Eaves was using a tomahawk for a hockey stick and was trying to scalp Exter. Unimpeachable.

Hey genius, as I stated, if you google Exter Eaves collision, there's about one million hits that come up, everything from ESPN, to SI, to the Globe, to Wikipedia and they all (as in every last one of them) say the EXACT same thing, that Eave's knee hit Exter's head. So if you have a problem with Wiki, then try one of the other 999,999 stories. No grey area, just the facts, maybe you can go to an internet cafe (if they even have them in Bangor) and use one of their computers to look it up if you don't want to take my word.

Next you'll be saying that Ryan merely slipped and "fell" into Voce while trying to congratulate him on the goal when he smashed him face first into the boards...

You would think so in that sales of Season tickets/Single game sales could see a spike in it and could increase interest in Advertising & New Donations towards the Program...But does Abbott make such a BOLD move..? Time will tell here.

He certainly seemed to **** TW with faint praise, but I still think that a buy-out will be a tough sell, unless it's financed very creatively.

At this point I think you could be right...last two articles that the BDNews has put out has been more wait & see,things will get better.(Abbott & Next Years teams outlook)...Sounds good in print,but its time to do it on the ice and behind the bench...a Soap Opera that never quits.
