Re: Maine Hockey 2013-2014 - Red Light District

One of my fav moments was when Scott Pellerin leveled Kaj Llina (sp?) , picked up the puck and, in what seemed like one motion, rifled it past McKersie (?) at Walter Brown. The crowd was stunned, maybe even shocked:) This would have been 1991 maybe ?

Or maybe it was P Karyia making a perfect assist from his knees in the corner, also at Walter Brown.

My favs...
Brian Gionta scoring 5 goals in the first period against Maine at Conte in 2001. :D
Nathan Gerbe breaking thumbs, wrists, hands, arms, legs, backs and heart, every time he faced BU. :D :p

Even if we got shut out, I loved the boxing match that was the second home game in '07. I remember Whitehead nearly fought Hansen at our tunnel after the game. According to him he was "trying to help Scott fit his big head though the door."

One of my faves was back in the old days, when Semler was coaching, Jim Tortorella was the goalie, and we had the likes of Gary Conn, Rob Zamejc, Andre Aubut, Dwight Montgomery, Dave Ellis, Joe Crespi and such playing, probably 1979, '80-81, sometime around there. . At the Alfond, BU took like a 6-0 lead after the first, but Maine kept fighting back all night and eventually won 8-7. My first or second season watching Black Bear hockey, and what a way to make a fan.

So we get B.U. Saturday at Frozen Fenway. Went to B.U. - Dartmouth last night at Agganis. Dartmouth 4-2. Was 5-2 for a moment but the 5th Big Green goal got waived off. Something is drastically wrong at B.U. It's not easily identifiable. Some blame DQ. Some point at certain players. Whatever it is, it's not gonna get turned around by Saturday's game at Fenway vs Maine, or any time soon after that. Roberto and Rodrigues didn't play last night. Kurker played his second game in a row after being on the 60 day Dead List. Maguire was awful in net against one of the worst D-1 teams in the country. And he didn't seem to care. I don't think Dartmouth has one NHL draftee. Tried to look it up on ECACHockey.com. It has to be one of the worst websites in all of hockey. The whole B.U. thing is bizarre. The box says attendance was 3310. ANFW. Not even close. The kids must still be on Christmas break because there were NONE there. None. I'm not thinking the Terriers are going to rise from the ashes and give the Black Bears alot of trouble. Looking very forward to seeing you Black Bear fans Saturday.

Maine gets a commit from a 7th grader....Oliver Wahlstrom from NYA. https://twitter.com/OTBPuckWatch .......wish I had paid better attention. North Yarmouth Academy just played @ RPI's Houston Field House this past weekend.

Committing at 13?? That is plain ridiculous. Same thing is happening in NCAA football. Shouldn't be allowed. At 13 the only thing they should be committing to is working on their skills and being a kid.

He can sign in Canada at 15, and could go to Sweden like yesterday. Should college teams just sit on their hands and hope he chooses to go to college?

Forecast is for low the 50's and steady rain... Think they'll even play?

What's to say he won't anyway. He's 13!!! In 5 years he may not even want to play hockey anymore. I just think it's way to young to make any decision of that type. And for colleges to waste time on a 13 year old kid is dumb imo. Spend the time on kids who are further along in life, closer to going to college and actually have some what of a clue about wht they want out of life. It's a pipe dream to think that a 13 yr old kid who committs now is actually going to show up on campus in 5 or 6 years. I'd slap his parents, let the kid be a kid and determine his future when it's time.

Who knows how much time Maine spent on this? It could have been as easy as Oliver saying "I've always wanted to play at Maine!" as he walked by Gendron, Gendron saying "Looking forward to it, we'd be glad to have you!"

Very true. It means nothing but it's a national story now. His parents are putting this kid in a position that as a 13 yr old his head is going to get so big he's not gonna fit thru the door. Then what happens 3 years from now when he realizes that he's not as good as everyone been telling him he is, his whole life. Just not the way I would do it as a parent. Not my kid so it's really none of my d a mn business......but just sayin'

Are they going to give us Mainers enough time to change our travel plans if this thing tomorrow gets pushed to Sunday? I don't need to drive to Boston for no reason.

Well, if Red said anything, it would have had to be on campus, or the kid initiated the contact. Pesky NCAA rules.

True. And since his dad played at Maine, there probably wasn't a whole lot of work to be done. Kid probably just said, "I want to play for Maine like you did."

You have no idea what this kid wants. This kid can change his mind at anytime, he can change sports he is playing at anytime. But most of what you say is hyperbole. I see a very very slim chance this kid who has been a stud playing hockey his whole life will change his mind and if he does then he does, hes not put in jail having to go to umaine. This kid is playing for arguably the best prep hockey school in maine as a 7th grader, starting. This is a chance worth taking for umaine has there is a very good chance he will be a great player and if not this kid gets a nice education out of it.
