Dustin Penner?

Abbott is great player,not sure he is a game breaker like Gus was but still a great player. Can't wait till Saturday night haven't seen any hockey lately. The only thing that sucks is its a Nat'l TV game so the flow is going to suck

Jackie does this on a weekly basis and is well known around the league for blowing smoke up, you know where.:D

With a resurgent men's basketball team (Edwards is the REAL deal!) playing Notre Dame tonight and football in the quarterfinals vs. Georgia Southern on Saturday........who woulda thunk that a hockey game vs. BU would be relegated to 3rd place on the UMaine sports weekend highlight list???...........

Not exactly, with respect to Millan. The prevailing thought is he wants to rest him a bit, and give Rollheiser some ice time. Millan's 5 goal effort on Saturday came after the three hour marathon game the night before in which he faced 65,000 shots and that many more scrums, but still played outstanding. Some even tossed around the idea of starting Rollheiser against BC Saturday night because of how tired Millan likely would be. And also, MacGregor sitting is hardly an advantage for you, he's our worst Dman. Nieto being out would be a significant loss for us, however.

The BU game at Maine will never be Old Time Hockey until they rid themseleves of TW from behind the Maine bench....New Coach and bet these series either in Boston or Orono will be Classics of tough/gritty hockey of yester-years.

Are they televising Saturday's football game? Wouldn't mind catching part or all of it if we make it up there in time.

Maine men's hoops played Notre Dame down to the wire tonight........fun team to watch!

ESPN 3 appears to be the only option, but it's a pretty good feed, and the price is right. ;)

while coaches, in fact, are on the game sheet, they are not considered rostered players... so while I agree Corkum would be the best player.... he does not count.

who were you thinking of?
O'Connor? Abbott would be my top O and top overall, and O'Connor would be my top D.
None of the 3 goalies would be the best, in my opinion.... and certainly not othe best player

O'Connor is best D???? .based upon what measures?
 
Re: UMaine, 2011-2012 season thread, does anyone care anymore?

Penner's issue isn't his hands. The best quote ever, the Kings GM on Penner:

“Dustin is at the crossroads of his career,” Lombardi wrote in an email to Sporting News. “He can choose to use his athletic ability to either become a dominant power forward in the National Hockey League or be a dominant number four hitter for the El Cid Lounge in a men’s softball league — the choice is his.”

none that whitehead cares about.

skating, balance, taking the body, getting the puck on net, covering the other half of the ice when his partner is trapped... you know defense

There is a bar in downtown Bangor called Hero's. Its in the Penobscot Plaza and I heard that they had the game on last week so I'd believe that they'd carry this weekends as well? If they do, it will be crowded. I've been there to see a few Pat's games and game four of the SCF last year. It was loud and fun, no doubt because the preferred teams were doing well.


Oh yeah, BU wins 7-3. Maine blows

I believe some have the option of watching this game on Pay Per View? Interesting to note that App. State beat Ga. Southern earlier this season.

If this happens, life won't be good for Timmay over the break, fans will go insane. Remember their is supposed to be a demonstration Saturday night of disgruntled fans. We'll see how many show up:)
 
Re: UMaine, 2011-2012 season thread, does anyone care anymore?

so there are almost no score update threads for Maine anymore... and SHOCKINGLY, there is no game thread for Satan's annual visit to the Alfond.

thought for the day... you know Whitehead is a crappy coach when Jackie does not drop a dime, turning him in because of loaned out trucks and pudding servings.
