Yeah, it certainly has been a mixed bag down the years. For whatever reason it seems like the junior bruins Maine has gotten have been more successful overall than kids from other teams.

Breen reported at 5 8 and 146#.
Red maybe decided some speed and hands are looking better,?

Nah, thats old info. I believe he is a lot bigger than that now.

Could be. Nick Capone maybe involved in that as well. Doesn't explain why he decommitted from Providence. I agree with you about the quality of the NCDC. Many of those players go on to play Division II and III hockey.

Maybe he will be a decent piece after all. Maybe next year won't be as bleak as we've thought it could be.

Maybe someone out there can tell me this, I follow the NHL signings pretty closely and maybe I missed it...but has any NHL Team reached out to Mitch Fossier..? I mean...seems he would attract some attention...from the likes of LA Kings, Anaheim, Ottawa and Detroit...teams on the rebuild and looking for young players. I can't believe he does not get some chance down the road by a NHL club.

I haven't heard anything about him yet. Normally I would find it curious, but with covid rampaging I don't find it so surprising. There's no way there wouldn't be interest in him, even Daniel Perez signed a pro contract. The only other answer I could think of is that Mitch isn't interested in playing hockey professionally, and would rather pursue music as his primary career.

Gendron changing his mind on OT. He has always favored 5X5 in OT for 5 minutes. If it's still tied after the 5 minutes it goes as a tie and each team gets a point.
Now he favors going 3X3 for 5 minutes. “Personally, I think the 3-on-3 would be more entertaining for the fans and it would also enhance the student-athlete experience.”
Gendron, UM Hockey Coach.
This has been my opinion for years. The players would love it! It gives them more open ice and a chance to show their skill with the puck. More discussion slated for June meeting by leagues and coaches.

IMO, 3v3 would be a lot of fun from a college hockey fan experience but as a Maine fan, I hope they don’t. I have a feeling a big, slower team like the ones we’ve fielded over the past few years would probably struggle in that format.
As for Fossier, I’ve found it interesting as well, such a creative and fun player to watch. I don’t see him ever making the league although I really hope he does. I think he’ll be a really good AHL player. His music career also sounds promising so he might be trying that as well.
If he could become a better skater I could see Fossier in the NHL. He has the ice vision, creativity, and decision making to make it.

IMO they should go with a 10 minute overtime, a breakdown of the first 5 minutes with 4x4 and if still tied go with a 5 minute at 3x3....if tied after this, its a tie and so be it, BUT PLEASE NO SHOOT-OUTs....

I still think he has the skill set to play in the NHL...he would most likely have to wait and play a few seasons at the AHL level...but also remember that there's a Expansion Team coming in after next season: Seattle, and with that there will be more openings with a new League team and also a ECHL/AHL teams to stock...I really think he gets a look by someone down the road and would not be surprised to see Detroit along with the N.Y. Rangers take a flyer on him as they have been in on College Hockey players for a long time. Either way, Music or Hockey...he has the options to do something he likes.

These games have gotten way toooo loooong. No more ot in my opinion. I have no problems with ties what so ever. Play three periods end the game, or one 5 min ot is fine.
Re: Maine Offseason 2020: We Stay Home But Swayman Leaves
I don’t know why people are so adverse to ties. I’d rather take the result and the point then subject my team to a gimmick and come out empty handed.
The more concerning thing that Red said was his support for the 11 team HE playoff.

He has been consistent on that issue. Because the schedule is imbalanced he does have somewhat of a point. However, I don't agree with it. Play better during the season and finish in the top 8! Just more games to extract more money from fans. Also, does not reward in season performance.

Just 8 teams in the playoffs...period...make the regular season mean something, you can't make the top 8....TOUGH, even if it means Maine has to watch it on TV.
