    FYI, Notre Dame is 12-13-7, tied for 8th place in the CCHA, and is not ranked in the Pairwise rankings.

      No way! Next you'll tell me they just got swept by a bottom feeder.

        Why would anyone want a coach with a lifetime .702 winning %, 4 regular season titles, 6 league playoff titles, and 2 national championships when you can have a coach with a .556 winning % and 1 league playoff title?

          Which doesn't compare very favorably to what Jackson has accomplished in the past, does it?

          Fortunately, the discussion here is: "Who would best be able to turn around a moribund program?" I'm not even blaming Whitehead for tanking Maine's program. What's done is done. And I'm not even giving Jackson credit for his accomplishments at LSSU. I'm stacking the deck in Whitehead's favor, fercrissakes.

          Yet, going strictly by recent evidence, Jackson's accomplishments turning around a moribund program would still seem to be greater than Whitehead's.

          Don't worry - I know it's hard to admit you're wrong. I don't expect it. It's not a contest, anyway. I'm perfectly happy just to know that I'm right.

            He turned it completely around...a full 360. Or is Western that good?

              I know you're too smart to believe what you're writing.

              Maine is 5 games over .500. Notre Dame is one below. And this after 3 really successful seasons for Notre Dame, and 2 of the worst seasons in Maine's D1 history.

              To claim that this season proves that the Whitehead skeptics were wrong -- and to do so by invoking comparisons to Jeff Jackson -- is just laughable. Glenn Beck on his best days can't achieve that level of self-delusion.

                No doubt about it. Someone must be messing with his meds. Or he's just messing with you. Doesn't matter which.

                Shocked that we haven't heard a peep about Dean Blais yet. Who would want coaches like that when you can have Timmay (feasting on the mediocrity of Hockey East this year).

I can't imagine him ever making anyone even feel uncomfortable when he's sober.There are plenty of players in my time covering the team who have looked at me differently or flirted with me or the like. Trivino has never been one of those players. Even outside of the rink, he'll say hi and is plenty of friendly, but has never been even close to saying or doing anything inappropriate.

                  I'm not telling you anything. I'm just telling you what Notre Dame's record is this season. You can make what you want of that.

                    You're awful. You need to be using icons in your writing. You know, like one of these . You're getting these folks all worked up.

                        Just like BC is?

                          The point is good coaches can have bad seasons...Jackson this year, Parker in 2008, York last year, it's happened to Umile, it seems to be happening to Berenson right now and Lucia.

                          So now Whitehead's peak and valley is on its way back up. Can he stabalize and get back to what he was putting up from 02-07? It remains to be seen.

                          All we can say right now is it looks like the party line of no hockey east, no garden, no NCAAs and a new coach to start 2010-11 was in what you call Beck territory.

                          11-20-2 in games I've attended since. (2-2-1 under Red)

                            A few scheduling tidbits for next season.......the Florida College Classic teams will include Miami and St. Cloud (with Cornell and Maine of course).....

                            http://www.floridaeverblades.com/fanzone/college/

                            Add to that 2 games at Michigan State and 2 home games with North Dakota (Oct.22 & 23) and Maine could have the toughest OOC schedule in the country next season. As of right now every team on the OOC schedule is in the NCAA Tourney!

                              I finally called for Tim's head myself,last year,and that was about his recruiting.The Orsini/Belmore/Randal class was a complete disaster,but I'm happy to been wrong about House.Still,that class was mostly awful,and it set Maine back a couple of years.

                              I am lucky enough to see a ton of college hockey.Got to say,I really don't see a lot of difference in the X's and O's from game to game.Most coaches make the same calls,it seems to me.They trap with the lead,and they forecheck more vigorously when trailing late.Same as anyone would do,if they played the percentages.

                              The talent is the difference,and Maine HAS some this year!I am inclined to credit Bob Corkum for that,at this point.Could be mere coincidence,but things were looking pretty bleak until he showed up.Draw your own conclusions.It's just nice to see the Bears in the mix again.

                              Goooooooooo
                              BLUE!

                                Steve Cedorchuk wasn't available.
