UMaine 25-26: Marques My Word: Back to the Big Time

[Drew S.]

Red started 3-8-1 vs BU but went 5-2-1 against the Terriers (not counting the weird Covid season) to finish his career. 8-10-2 isn't so bad when you consider Maine is -20 in the series and Ben Barr is 2-8-1...

We’re getting close to the point where the fans turn on Barr and want him fired. It might not happen this year but very good chance it happens next year.

Drew, you are such a dope if you believe that. I don’t think you are that dumb, are you?

 

[umhockey91]

I think that both teams would be satisfied with a split this weekend.

Both teams have a lot of work to do.

I've got a single seat for Saturday night's game vs BU, looking forward to seeing the game. Is there anyone in southern Maine (specifically Biddeford/Saco) that's also going up and back for this game that would want to car pool for the ride or take a passenger?

Nobody is that dumb and if they are their opinion should probably be discarded. We are nowhere near that point.

I mean I hope you’re right, but based on the past I won’t be even a little surprised if eventually people want to run him out of town.

Only if he goes 103-137-33 (.438) over 8 seasons and never finishes higher than 4th in Hockey East.

He could be a blown call and a skate blade away from two national titles and people would still want his head on a pike.

Bradly Nadeau with his first NHL goal tonight

Please hope for more than that. My god, that is what you hope for when Gendron was coach, not now with then new version of Maine.

Hope we blow them out. That is what we hope for. Geesh, you and Wally sandbag to beat hell.

I was thinking the same thing when Tony pothead was posting on the BU thread saying we are awful clearly hasnt seen Reds teams people need to get a clue

Too bad if he keeps putting butts in the seats and has competitive teams they can fck off

Say what you want but Timmay was screwed in Minnesota with that home cooking crap against a crybaby Minnesota coach

Fun fact: Whitehead was 96-102-28 in his last 6 seasons at Maine.

You have a weird definition of fun

His point was that there were several seasons of mediocrity.

Drew is claiming next year if Maine is 0.500 team they will want Barr out of town.

After Timmy took 6 years and Red took an extra 10 year how would Barr only get one or two years after he helped rebuild the program. Tim may and Red drove the program into the dirt and attendance was low. Barr has the team selling out 15 minutes online, new addition(lockerooms, video room, weight room, etc…), does all sorts of interviews, has outdoor music events pregame, donors donating, etc…

If someone doesn’t see the difference between where this program is under Barr vs where it was and then thinks Barr will have a tight leash after the ten years of never letting Red go… then they are absolutely dumb. As in their mind works like a stump.
