Maine behind 2-1 after two. With Maine score another before putting us to sleep? This Maine team takes on coach’s persona.

I wasn't around back then, so what I say may be completely off base, but from all I've heard about the 2013 coaching hunt, it sounds to me like Maine already had their successor chosen right off the bat and didn't consider any other candidates, which of course turned out to be Red. If Goring and Montgomery were both interested in Orono back then, as I've heard, and neither of them got even a call, much less an interview, it sounds like Abbott had already committed to Red being the coach before the "coaching search" even began.

That's exactly how it looked to me then, too.

Monty was my first choice, but Corkum deserved a shot too, IMO.

When I was scratching my head about Red getting the job, I figgered that the hire was a foregone conclusion, without much thought involved... And it sure has looked that way ever since.

Are moral failings more unacceptable than being mediocre every year? After what we’ve been thru the last 15 years I’d give him a shot.

I'm with you. I'd be OK with Ted Bundy coaching this team if he could get Maine to the NCAA's.

Guy says Red told them Shea has a pro style shot. He will have to hit the net in the pros.

If Shea even gets a cup of coffee in the NHL, I'll be astounded. He has hands of stone, with a head to match...

Anyway Blackie, are you getting any kind of feed for this Yale game? Not working for me.

NESN plus. You’re better off if you can’t watch.
 
Maine loses 3-1

Maine had the look of a team with composure, discipline, high work ethic, and craftiness. Not. Garbage week of hockey.

Fired for "unprofessional conduct", whatever that means. I wonder if he's been caught up in the Peters/Babcock/etc scandal.

If I had to guess I would say alcohol involved and probably lewd behavior of some sort. He will be starting at the bottom again if the employer can accept his character flaws and the poor choices he has made in the past.

Alcohol involved and lewd behavior is ok I think... yeah we will take it. especially at the garden, regionals, and frozen fours. No matter how saintly a coach is, out of he playoffs on the road sucks big time.

You'd have to wonder what kind of alcohol-related trouble he could find at a team party, but a true drunk can find trouble at a Sunday school picnic.

Having said that, I'd forgive him for spit-roasting the odd baby koala if he could get Maine 25 wins.

I wasn't sold on any of the three simultaneous penalties called on Greenway.

The original call was not a penalty, but the kid should have kept his composure. Flipping the puck out of the ice well after the whistle occurred, what else could you call? Tripping the goalie from behind was also worth two. Surprised Kacz beat Swayman, he is usually the difference for Maine.
