Drivel, 920 ... the word is drivel. "Dribble" is what you do with a basketball (or spanky does with his oatmeal).
You're welcome.

No it was meant as dribble...and if you can't comprehend that well...you do but then take care Dickie boy....I won't add anymore as your just a special case...
Guys, let's take a step back, here. Chuckles, while often full of hot air, and always excessively long winded, is right on this one (probably). There is no way that Ben Barr woke up on Thursday morning, ahead of the biggest game his program has played in over a decade, and the biggest game his program has played under his leadership, and said "I feel so bad for my underperforming senior goalie that I haven't started in six weeks, I want to give him another chance!" What actually happened was one of probably two things: a), Barr saw that Boija was sick, and independently made the decision that a healthy Ostman gave them a better chance to win than an ill Boija; or b) Boija came to him and said he didn't feel well enough to play, leaving him no choice but to go with Ostman.
And also, for another thing, nobody here knows for sure if Boija was even the backup goalie on Thursday, he could have been the effective third stringer and Androlewicz would have come in if Victor had been injured. But in any event, I think Chuck is right that there's no shot that the coaching staff was chasing a sentimental narrative instead of a win on Thursday.

Spot on.
There's absolutely no chance that Maine's coaching staff prioritized sentiment over winning. None.
Never said Barr decided to go with Ostman out doing him favor....bottom line...It was a total team/Coaching loss...and give Cornell credit they did what they needed to do...kill the 5 min. Penalty and basically turn the game around with there 1st goal and pounding Maine every chance they could...Maine had a top notch season but we all can see they need improvements in alot of areas of there game...as far as Mr. UNH..he has his views and so be it...
If you ignore them, the give up…oh and if you want a good laugh, google is your friend…
Sorry to disappoint you (well, not really). Your were right about one thing, though. I guess it didn't matter which regional we went to, huh?

Why don't you just enjoy the fact your team is in the final four rather than coming here and being a clown.

Can we get a translation on this one, folks??? I mean, here I am, giving the poor slob a polite correction on how to use the proper word while criticizing yours truly ... and the ingrate doubles down on stupid?!?
Think or say what you will, folks, but I've done nothing but try to be a nice guy on here this year. Even admitted multiple times how jealous I am that you guys snagged Barr, while we're stuck with MS7. Conceded you guys were the better team all along, and admittedly guilty only of rooting for UNH to prove me wrong (which of course they didn't).
How many of you folks predicted in preseason that UMaine would finish Top Four in HEA, and make the NCAA's?
Show of hands, please (both of mine are raised) ... hmmmm ... not too many ... but I did, on here, in writing.
... I mean, isn't that the opposite of "trolling"??? ((asking only the 80% with room temp plus IQ's))

"Mr. UNH" wasn't directing those comments to you, they were directed to the other resident genius (spanky).
I'd usually say something about "living rent-free in your head", but in your case, I don't want any part of that slum ...

That is your issue, you are jealous. It is obvious. Just go home Chuck. Your verbal diarrhea does nothing but stink up the place.
Well your just smarter then everybody...really...even yourself.

Sorry, you're one of the folks who are DQ'ed due to substandard sub-room temp IQ's. You're not the target audience. I prefer to interact with Mainers who can tolerate some back-and-forth hockey discussion. To be clear, that's a huge majority of the room here. But there are still some blockheads on here, who seem to see me as a challenge to their existence and validity as a UMaine fan. I'm not here to convert you to a UNH fan, genius.
Just put me on your ignore list. Please, trust me on just this, spanky (920, KIA, Ray, etc.) ... it'll be better for everyone.

Wood has the size/skill Maine needs but Mark Divver says Minnesota/Wisconsin/North Dakota are the likeliest destinations for him.

You have very little hockey content. If there is any, it isn’t noticeable because it is embedded in a 2 page essay of nothingness.
If you look up “verbal diarrhea” it has your name and ugly mug - Chuck Murray of Newfields, NH. Is it true that they based the stapler guy of the movie “The Office” after you? Or is that just a rumor swirling around the UNH hockey fans at the regionals.

I think Wilkie kid does too. But it appears after reading about Wilkie, he would be looking at a premier medical school. Might be more inclined to attend a school like Harvard, Yale, Cornell, Dartmouth, etc…
With Boija still on the roster and Berzins coming in, I don't think Maine will be in the market for a starting caliber goalie in the portal. If they do go portal for a goalie, I bet it would be a guy comfortable with being a backup or third string that is a good room guy.
That was probably the most benign retort to a negative post as you can get and that’s your retort? Priceless can hate BU all he wants, and he does, with zeal, but wishing a meteor? I mean, that’s excessive. Especially because that would affect all the other BU haters. And you guys all need to band together to root for Denver in a couple of weeks.

He has a .925 save percentage, so he would likely be more than a back up. He’d likely rotate with Boija out of the gate.
