UMaine '18-'19: Back to the Nationals!

Swayman

He's very good at this level, but is he an NHL goalie?

I'd like to see that, but I'm not convinced right now.

Re: UMaine '18-'19: Back to the Nationals!

They'll either buy him out with a year left on his contract, or renew it for another couple years.

Either of those two possibilities sound like bad choices to me at this point.

Fishman is so smart. All hail king fishman.

Dumb.. very dumb

I think he has a solid chance to make it to the next level...would expect him to play @ Maine for another season then the Bruins may step in and want him to move on to the next level, the AHL...or they could opt in Swayman staying all 4 years where he would play more and get the practice in during the week with games on the weekends. But for now he's a Black Bear...and a good one at that, one of the better players Maine has so far in this season.

those are the only options, you can't have a "lame duck" head coach

Fishman, the king of negativity. Never a nice thing to say about the team he professes to love. Seems like chub.

Here's a bit of optimism. The season is still very young and it's possible Maine could develop later in the season and start putting together wins. Based on Gendron's previous 5 years at Maine it's not likely to happen, but it is possible. I don't think Maine has the talent or coach to do it, but who knows. If Maine were to finish 4 - 5 in Hockey East, I could see the AD extending him another one or two years. It will be interesting to see what the AD does if Maine finishes the season in 7 - 11?

Where do you see the wins coming from? Maine basically plays all the bad teams on the road and good teams at home, which I don’t think is a great combination.

I really can't predict where the wins will come from.

Really most likely nothing gets done after this year, Red has two more seasons after this one.

I mean, I would think that's the best possible combination.

In reality you are probably right.

If you're good, sure. If you're bad, it is a nightmare.
