Re: Maine 2012-2013 Fade to Black
Did I give them an ovation? **** straight I did. Everytime I talk with Tyler I swear I have gone back 20 years, he looks and sounds so much like his dad. On Friday night I was reminiscing with his mom about times in the old hockey office (which is now WIH). They are both special people and deserved a better reception from the Maine faithful.
I realize the reputation I have with many of you. Some have gone so far as to say I hated him. You don't understand how much he meant to me and how disappointing it was when the NCAA violations came to light. I try to remember the man I knew but admit those cloud my perspective...as does the blind hero worship I see here on a regular basis. He wasn't a hero. He was a man capable of great deeds and horrific acts. He did not pull someone from a burning building or rescue a friend pinned down by sniper fire. He was a hockey coach. Remembering that does not mean I hate him.

Lowell just found that they have a fantastic goalie... if he shuts out MC today, I have to think that Maine has no chance against them
BC has Jerry York, and a kid who was supposed to be in serious consideration for the Hobey and has been fading lately... Johnny might wake back up and Maine will have no chance.
UNH... well we will see if Maine has a snowballl's chance against Henrion and DeSmith on an olympic sheet very soon.
With Lomberg as the only player who can turn a corner (against bad D), I do not see Maine keeping up with UNH on a big sheet.
If Alfie Ouelette plays this weekend and next, Maine has a chance against anyone.
that said, what are the odds that Umilie gets a detached retina sometime this week?... that seemed to be the key to the BC series.

If UNH tries to give one away, though, all bets are off. It's up to the Wildcats. How much does Umile hate Maine? (I kid. Sort of).
If Maine does get 8th, I don't really care who they face.
Scratch that. I hope it's BC. No guts no glory. This team's going nowhere this season. The most I can hope for is some postseason experience for the newcomers. And since the postseason will be over after one round . . . might as well get as much as you can in that round. I have to think BC will be looking forward to seeing Maine for another 2 @ Conte. It'll either be a gigantic confidence boost if Maine steals a win, or a good measuring stick to show the frosh what they should aspire to achieve by March 2014 or 15.1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1995 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2012(!)

Re: Maine 2012-2013 Fade to Black
Shouldnt the title of this thread be "Fade to Back"?
No chance at UHN...its their NC series and that vaunted RS title is theirs to grab. So yeah, MC has to basically sweep UMass for Maine to get in, and that aint happening. I expect UMass to get a tie in one game and they win the tie breaker, so its over.
I think this team has the talent to win at Doorham, but they dont have the coaching or drive to do it. Its just not possible.sure why not
