If anyone hasn't seen them, there are two pretty good highlight videos up on the hockey page of goblackbears.com

(wonder if this will prompt another angry tirade from sandiego)

Who is Keith Johnson?

Re: 2010 Maine offseason: a lazy summer on the Stillwater

Mangene was listed as a Defenseman at the Islanders mini-camp.

Is it likely that he'll be manning the blueline again for Maine this fall?

He was admirable during Maine's postseason effort, but I don't think it's the right spot for him.

We all know he plays with grit, and heart, but don't forget, that kid has wheels! You like to have hustle in all 3 zones, of course, but with so many upperclassmen on D this year, and a few high caliber kids replacing the seniors next year, I would think he's better suited applying pressure with the 3rd line!

A former Black Bear who, it seems, had an affinity for underage girls.

General question: Are there only 5 automatic bids this year, since the CHA folded? And 11 at large positions?

Yup.

That's an awfully good question that I haven't heard "official" word on, but my assumption would be yes! How else would an automatic bid be awarded?

To those concerned about Maine's goaltending situation next year:

Scott Darling was ranked 10th in Hockey East in sv% both years he played.

Maine only needs average goaltending to compete next year.

Just a thought.

Hopefully we get superior goaltending, especially in the playoffs

...Well lets hope that from the 3 goalies in Camp..{Sirman/Quellette/Sullivan..}..can seize the opportunity and bring Maine back to the top of Hockey East and in the Nat. Ranking each week and back into the NCAA's...I would hope that at least two of these players get a chance at a tamden in net for Maine...BUT that has never been the history with Whitehead...he tends to go with the one horse...sometimes that works..but this season could be different having one play Fridays and one play Saturdays...this TEAM should rally around these 3 players after the nightmare finish of last year...a up-coming team that IF it had a dependable goalie; could have made noise's in the NCAA's...oh well lets "HOPE". Good LUCK #30 --#33 -- #51.

I love this group of forwards.I think it's considerably more talented than that of Maine's last 2 NCAA qualifiers...But if they play in front of average 'tending,it's gonna be another frustrating year.I subscribe to the cliche that you build a team "from the goal out",and that's where the Bears are suspect: in goal and on D.
