To which I reply ...
Those are two excellent goalies, but, in most of Umiles' years, some
other teams have had a better goalie. I think you are neglecting a
Hobey Baker winner, a whole bunch of other excellent players, as well as
one of the best support staffs in HEA.
In the next couple of years, who will have a better record: UNH or Maine?
Coach Umile has the track record; Coach Whitehead must build it, IMHO.
...just my opinion ... cheers, wayne
