Crosby probably wouldn't even be on BC's top two lines next year

Re: Maine Hockey 2013-2014 - Red Light District
How has Howard had a miserable season?? Seems to be the prevailing notion not just here but all over. His save percentage is .907 and he has 8 shootout losses. If he wins half of them is it so bad?
What Byrzgalov went through last year was a miserable season. What Maine went though 3 straight years with the starting goalie under .899 was miserable. Howard's not been stellar but he's not been miserable.
Quick's save percentage at the moment is .905. Hank Lundqvist's is .908.
Maine Hockey: I want to believe
43-21-4 (.662) in games I attended over 4 years as a student
104-47-14 (.669) in that time
3x FROZEN FOUR
11-20-2 in games I've attended since. (2-2-1 under Red)

Howard's experience with USA Hockey and the fact that he has proven himself repeatedly is why he was chosen over Bishop.

His .907 sv% is 32nd in the league.
Pretty miserable for a goalie of Howard's talent level.

I perhaps would have chosen Bish over Jimmy just on the basis of the numbers alone, but the "body of work" argument for Jimmy isn't specious: Howard has had his feet in the fire before, and performed very well.
(Thing is, I would have considered Bish over Quick, if only because Jonathon doesn't appear to be 100% in a physical sense right now.)Last edited by Fishman'81; 01-03-2014, 12:47 AM.

It doesn't matter. He won't see one second of ice time anyway. While a great honor to be picked for the team the 3rd goalie is irrelevant.Last edited by ck1969; 01-03-2014, 06:46 AM.

Injury reports will be scarce from now on and any information might come from the players themselves. Red and his staff will not comment on injuries, period.

Re: Maine Hockey 2013-2014 - Red Light District
There's a new article from the Bangor Daily on how attendance at Maine Hockey games is down this year, despite the much improved home record. It's funny that in the article, Mahoney mentions that "...There are also some premium seats that go for $50," without mentioning that what he means by "some" is actually over 1/5 of the available seats!
'More wins, new coach haven’t put more UMaine hockey fans in Alfond Arena seats'
