Re: UMaine Hockey 2014-15: The Road from Alfond to Boston
Red has been on the job 16 Months!!!!
It took Walsh 3 seasons to have a winning record at Maine. It took York 4 seasons to have a winning record at BC.
Look at the coaching history page. No one showed up, brought in ten blue chippers, and went on to steamroll the league in a season and a half!
You guys are a bunch of salads!

When Walsh took over it was a completely diff set of circumstances. More a newbie program with zero history of success. Not even remotely compareable. He was building a program brick by brick. BTW - Bazin at Lowell did just what you said no one s done.Last edited by hobeyfaker; 11-16-2014, 09:35 PM.

Seven seasons, three with winning records when Walsh took over.
What history of success had Whitehead had over the last seven seasons? You'd have been calling for Walshy's head halfway into his second season if you had been around back then.What kind of cheese are you planning to put on top?

Originally posted by Tango View PostNorm got a team with some goal scoring ability and two top end goalies already on the team to play well. Yes Norm did that. Steamrolled the leage with top recruiting classes. Not close my salady friend!

Originally posted by walrus View PostMarty wasn't chopped liver, he had a good goalie last year. The team tanked at the end. What are the chances he lost them at the end of the season? I think its possible and thats on Red. The same things keep happening this year.Originally posted by BobbyBrady
Crosby probably wouldn't even be on BC's top two lines next year

Re: UMaine Hockey 2014-15: The Road from Alfond to Boston
So I am going to pull one from the Whitehead apologist playbook.........if not Gendron then who??? Come on you bunch of college hockey know-it-alls.......you must have a bunch of coaching candidates in mind?
Here's the deal........Maine is no longer a top level program in any way, shape or form. I look at UM hockey as being similar to the football program.......they are in a top level conference which competes for national championships, but there are numerous teams in the conference with much better programs that have more resources, better facilities and larger fan bases. That doesn't mean that every once in a while that Maine can't compete for an NCAA playoff berth or maybe a once a decade Frozen 4 berth.......but the days of annual playoff bound teams are over.

Look at the pairwise standings. The days of the good programs and bad programs have disappeared, unfortunately. I think Maine will improve in the upcoming seasons but don't think things will ever be the way they used to be. That has more to do with college hockey in general than Maine's program.Originally posted by BobbyBrady

Red is a good fit for this program at this time in this era. There were other issues with Whitehead beyond recruiting......he alienated fans, donors, and alums. He was not a good ambassador or promoter of the program. Red fits the bill there.......and he has a lot of experience and contacts....hopefully those will serve him well and just maybe......maybe......he will lead Maine to a Frozen 4 before is all said and done.
