Re: Maine Black Bears 2010-2011 - Part Deux
Maine's lines continue to be juggled. Tim talks about the lines in the BDN today. I just may have to go to Portland next year. This game against Clarkson may mean something.

Why the interest in this particular matchup? Stollery had a HT against RIT and INCH tabbed him as 1 of their 2 mid-season All-HE team d-men (with Warsofsky). Don't know much about Amestoy. Thanks.
Re: Maine Black Bears 2010-2011 - Part Deux
Carlos Amestoy is a 5-8 165 Lb. Freshman forward from Toronto, Ontario. Was out of the lineup for awhile with an infected elbow. He's healthy again now and has seen some playing time recently. I think the comment about the matchup was meant to be facetious.
By the way, welcome back Will O'Neill. Pure Hockey Defensive Player of the week. Congratulations.

Yes, so stay away or they will kill you
Re: Maine Black Bears 2010-2011 - Part Deux
beacause I had heard that amestoy could fly. I did not see it...
then people said he flew against the under 18 team... I said I wanted to see what he could do against Stollery a real D1 defenseman (one of the best I have ever seen)

In other news, I'm retarded.
Forgive me, I'm still in FL from the tourney and a little drunk on Tequila Sunrises and Gulf Coast sunsets.

Belichick & Brady with a weeks preparation = big trouble.
Two weeks prep = they're phk'd.
The Pats will have run away with it in the 3rd qtr.
No worries.

Re: Maine Black Bears 2010-2011 - Part Deux
Why is Clarkson coming to Portland if we're playing them just days, perhaps a week before in Florida? What a bizarre schedule quirk/decision.
Two non-consecutive games against a rarely faced OOC opponent where we will don home colors despite both games being played on neutral ice in two different states....
there's a completely uncomplicated way to think of it, hah

Re: Maine Black Bears 2010-2011 - Part Deux
I think us Maine fans have become used to having at least one freshman become an offensive impact as soon as they step foot in the door. Last year, Shemansky came out firing before Joey Diamond settled into the game we expected from him. Of course, before them there was Nyquist. Before him, Sweetland. Before him, Purcell.
Just because they don't blaze out of the gate doesn't mean they wont get there. Tanner House and Robby Dee comined for 2 goals over 53 collectively played games as freshmen. And yet, you knew by watching them: they would get there. Robby a little later than hoped, but he had a rocky road of nagging issues and injuries.
I agree that the freshmen are showing glimpses of things to come. It's harder to crack a veteran roster with a decent track record, though. As was pointed out, Amestoy, Swavely and Corkum have appeared in 5 games each, and a lot of their time has been spent on the bottom line. Way too early to jump to conclusions.

Re: Maine Black Bears 2010-2011 - Part Deux
they were supposed to play them in portland this year, but clarkson had some sort of scheduling issue that resulted in the two schools agreeing to postpone until next season... hence the two games on two neutral sheets in the same year...

Re: Maine Black Bears 2010-2011 - Part Deux
I can think of exactly ONE black bear who learned speed during his time with Timmy.
I do not expect them all to.
I can think of at least 5 current black bears who cannot skate at what I would consider a good D1 level, one of them was the absolute worst skater I had ever seen... and that includes a Brown University defeseman whose grandparents had OBVIOUSLY just donated a library, (because there was NO reason to put that kid on the ice)... the Black bear has improved from "worst skater I had EVER seen in college", to, "knows his position, but still is below average in D1"
as for shemansky coming out shooting... remember that all but one of his goals were tip ins of Abbott feeds.... it is great skill to be able to tip in a shot, but, it is also easily countered.
