Maine 2012-2013 Fade to Black

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...

Re: Maine 2012-2013 Fade to Black

I'm very excited to see Maine playing at a national powerhouse (Quinnipiac) next season. Hopefully, Abbott and Coach Whitehead will aspire to have a program of such prominence like that someday.

When Steve and Tim meet to discuss the program there are some questions I think Steve should ask early on in the discussion.

1). Do you still enjoy going to work every day and putting forth the huge amount of effort required of this program?

2). What additional resources can the University (athletic department), fans and alumni provide to improve the program?

3). Why has Maine not been able to recruit more than just one or two elite players each year?

Just a few questions that come to mind.

How about asking whether or not the change in coach should be made before, after, or at the hockey banquet?
 
Re: Maine 2012-2013 Fade to Black

Coach Whitehead will be back next season. Maine has a lot of good returning players and good recruiting class coming in too. The only negatives about the program are the fickle fans and dwindling attendance. Maybe they will drop ticket prices a bit to help get back some of those people that don't attend games anymore.
 
Re: Maine 2012-2013 Fade to Black

I wouldn't call Ouellette elite. He's good, but a .917 save percentage is not elite level by any stretch of the imagination.

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.

Look back at the Larry's articles from the last five or six seasons, and you'll probably see about three or four other articles that read almost exactly the same way. All he has to do is replace player names and stats, and there you are, voila, another "end of season recap, the future's looking brighter" article. Larry's probably got the template saved on his computer.

TIMMAY resign yet?

two would be a jackpot. (unless you think 'elite' means "doesn't fall down on slippery ice" :p)

elite to mookie means all american. bc gets one a year. bu gets one every three/four years.

Ouellette

Ummm..........errr.........well.

Hutton will be there.
I cannot remember many better freshman D men (with the puck).

as for Ouelette, I agree that the kid has the tools, and could be an elite player in NCAA hockey...goalie stats are a reflection of the team in front of him.
what he does on a given play tells you whether he is elite or not.
 
Re: Maine 2012-2013 Fade to Black

If you think Hutton "will be there", then I guess you and I have a very, very different idea of what "elite" is.

Don't be a tool, mook. One carlton is more than enough.

just sayin' that elite is very, very special. y'all can have decent players (which are better than good players).

mookie has a 7pt scale:

elite
great
decent
good
eh
suck
good god!!

mookie hates nothing more than listening to tv and hearing "great!" "great!" all night. great players. great teams.

great is great. every team does not have a great player.
