Best class of signees on paper under Gendron by far! Hopefully that translates on the ice.

OK....back to wages and immigrants.:rolleyes:

Like any signing in the last few seasons, until there on the ice and games under the belt...there's no telling what...being negative a bit but our hopes have been dashed quickly through the last 6-7 years of the Whitehead era and now going forward into the Gendrons tenure...which to date has been slower then expected and to a big degree/Painful to watch at times...oh well things have to change in a Positive way sooner...right..?????:D

The only way it gets into the MPA's rotation is at the hands of the landlord: the University of Maine. Either the U scheduled a hockey game at the same time they had previously agreed to rent the stadium out, or they agreed to rent the stadium out at the same time they had a hockey game scheduled. Either way, the organization in charge - the one creating the chaos - is the U.

Parking on Friday will be a definite problem but back some time ago we were allowed to park on College Ave. but they stopped it. Do they allow parking on one side of College Ave. now during football games?

At least Red doesn't make excuses. The other guy would've been quotes about Shore and Hutton leaving every week this season and would buy into the budget stuff that all the smarks seem to be throwing around. Not Red. I admire that much about him.

Very good insight about the Maine program. The following quote really captures the nature of Maine and college hockey.

Clearly the issues run deeper than Tim Whitehead, and have for a while.

It seems now as if there isn't any place to go but up. The question is whether or not it can reach its previous elevation.

To be fair, the lofty perch Maine once sat upon might no longer exist. With the exception of perhaps only a handful of programs — North Dakota, Minnesota and Boston College mainly — parity is such in college hockey nowadays that a 20-year run near the top of the country is something we might not see again.

Parity is happening in all of collegiate athletics, not just hockey. Did any of us ever thing TCU and Baylor would unseat Texas and Texas A&M as the powerhouse programs in the Lone Star State? Or that tiny Butler would've been one shot away from beating Duke for a national title? Unless you're Brady/Belichick, the days of dynasties in sports are no more.

Apparently we left our defense in Burlington. Very fortunate to be down by only one after first period.
