University of Maine 2024–2025: Freel-ing good

This team is struggling mentally. Can't quite put my finger on it....and I'm not sure Barr has it figured out either. Might be a couple of personality conflicts and/or attitude problems on this team? Seems like since Breen went down.....
 
Going to be interesting to see if a week off and recent games brings about more lineup changes.
 
Is the 26 roster a done deal for next year with maine?
The future injury situation will be interesting with this.

BU has been operating this year with 26 man roster including 3 goalies
Was only an issue in Yale loss with 1 injury and 3 at world juniors
Dressed one forward who hadn't played in 2 years

I think it's going to happen but I may be wrong..DLG are you hearing 26 is likely? Explains why BU may be doing it now

Everyone is hearing it is likely. Actually everyone is hearing it is a forgone conclusion because it is the result of that settlement of that lawsuit. Google it, you will find all the website talking like it is definitely happening.

for example:

https://www.ncsasports.org/mens-hockey/scholarships

Even the sports illustrated, espns, etc… are report it like it is a done deal.

So these aren’t only small dorks with blogs reporting it.

26 scholarships will happen and Maine will give out 26 full time rides. For both men’s and women’s likely.

You don’t spend 170 million on athletic upgrades to get cheap and say well we can’t afford an extra 8 scholarships for each hockey team.

That’s like saying I bought a big house on the ocean and after renovations I’ll have spent $5 million on it… but I’ll be damned if I pay the $75k in taxes each year. I won’t spend a penny more than $50k. Then they put a lien on your house and eventually make you sell it to pay the taxes you owe. Doesn’t make a lot of sense.

People in here thinking Maine will still be competitive only giving out 18 when other schools give out 26 are delusional. As delusional as the guy that can afford $5 million dollar house but not paying the extra $25K out of principles.
