Re: Maine Black Bears 2010 - 2011

This team is deep, no need to worry, they'll still go undefeated the rest of the way.
-BrrringBrrring- "Oh, Kettle, Pot here. You're black."Maine could win 10-0 and you'd still find something to ***** about.
bdn article on sullivan... also talks about the injury situation (though provides little clarity)

one thing i read into it was that the job is sully's... white head says:
“We want to give the other goalies an opportunity to play when we can."
I read that as he's our #1 and we'll try to work the others into the lineup when we can....
The whole goaltending situation is funny, especially since there was so much Ouellette hype all summer long, almost no mention of Sullivan at all on this board.
Our goaltending situation doesn't suck. Which is nice.
I read that as he's our #1 and we'll try to work the others into the lineup when we can....
Yes to the above and lets hope for Sullivan/Friday & Ouellette/Saturday....with a Sullivan/Sirman next weekend vs BC.I do too, and I'm excited to see if Dan can continue to emerge into this role. I think he looked calm and composed at BU and if the playoffs were tomorrow, bet your bottom dollar I'd have him between the pipes.
But by no means does that mean I want to give limited reps to the other guys. I'd still be playing them all somewhat equally....but probably just giving Dan the bigger games unless someone earns the spot over him.
Shawn was our opening day #1 and I'd like to wait for him to at least lose a start before I start limiting his reps.
Martin was the guy everyone thought would emerge as the #1, and we've only given him 1 look. Hey, one or two of those goals might have been softies, but it was the kid's 1st collegiate start, and he spent most of September dinged up. It was the 1st time in probably 6 months he had seen meaningful action close to that speed, and he probably had some rookie butterflies. Can we give this guy a 2nd look before we rarely play him and he becomes our next Matty Lundin?
Like I said, my hat off to Dan...if you asked me who Maine's #1 is right now, he'd be my answer. But lets keep looking and pushing each of them.

If Sully's the #1, which I can go with considering how well he's played, then wouldn't it make sense to redshirt Ouellette if we've got two capable goalies this season?
Also, Sully's rise to #1 certainly must have come as a shock to everyone involved with the team, as he's the only goalie who hasn't got his helmet painted, still wearing the plain white cage. If they had expected him to come in and make an impact, you can be sure he'd have had a painted mask. Ouellette does.
