No doubt Nyquist had a much better career, but when it comes to raw talent I think Acquino was a lot better. We don’t really talk about him much but him not working out was a big blow.

Cream rises. I mean, Luc didnt make it anywhere. Ill concede the old point about the kid who got kicked out and played like 500 AHL games (Sill maybe) being talented. Its not like the other kid left and lit it up. As talented as like Billy Ryan based on his pro career. Not as talented as Gus, one of the best 5-10 forwards in Hockey East in the last 10-15 years.

Nyquist was a special player, he was worth the price of admission.

Good stuff, as usual. Thanks.

I didn't remember Libby getting a cup of coffee, but he and Moore are it.

Does anyone know if Hathaway was recruited by Maine? I'd never heard of him before, but I don't follow the NHL much aside from those teams who have Bears on their rosters.

Yeah that was Sill. Played in 93 NHL games, too. Still playing in Europe at age 31. He only appeared 6 times for Maine.

That Sill-Czuba-Dekastrossa recruiting class was the handwriting on the wall for the end of the Whitehead Era, IMO, though it looks in hindsight that Sill was a lot better than he appeared to be back then.

Then that kid Sweetland left way early for nothing.

But the Abbott Diamond ONeill Flynn Darling class was ridiculous. Unfortunately the on ice coaching and commitment to team D/not blowing leads bit then big time. Seriously. Tim’s on ice coaching the last 3-4 years was a way bigger issue than recruiting
 
Re: Maine

Not to quibble too much with that list from hockeydb but neither Friedman nor Hathaway were born in Maine, though both grew up here. If we want to call them Mainers, fine, but then we have to give Jon DiSalvatore to Connecticut. But we'd probably get Eric Weinrich back, too.
 
Re: Maine

look at all those bc fans. might be 200

Re: Maine

Fossier comes into zone, throws it back toward blueline so BC can get odd man rush and scores on a fat rebound. Same old ****
 
Re: Maine

Swayman with 4 very big saves to keep it at 2-0. Some absolutely woeful defending by Maine in the 2nd half of that period.

I toyed with going back down to Brighton to Conte Forum and I’m sooo glad I didn’t. Nice 1st Period. 2-0. Unfortunately about what I expected. Bears simply can’t keep up with this BC team. Bears are going nowhere this season without a totally unpredictable turnaround. Sway looks overwhelmed by the pressure and endless offensive barrage. Should be 4-0. He is playing well.
