To the guys at maine that think maine has a chance for an NCAA spot.
Dream on baby.....
There is not even a remote chance that maine will play this year. I
would like to remind you that they are on a two game loosing streak.
 
Back to the eligibility case. I can not understand why coach walsh is an
untachable in this whole buisness. He knew about the candian player
Tory's ( i hope that is the correct spelling) eligibility problem. Every
body in his right mind knows that walsh was in the loop for each and
every one of the violations. It is very nice to find some anonymous guy
in the office and put all the blame on him.
 
I am afraid that NCAA will step in and will put maine on some kind of
probation like in the case of UNLV,auburn,UMASS-Lowell and so on.  What
also bothers me is the fact maine officials think they are above the
rest of the league because they bring so many fans and revenue to the
boston garden. Why is it that the league can't ban maine from post
season after so many violations? there are rules and they were clearly
violated.
 
Coach walsh can only take an example from BU's jack
 parker, who suspended himself for being abusive to a referee (an away game
last season). Parker also kicked out talented players (lilley) from the
team for academic reasons.
 
This situation is not very fair for the maine players and I hope for
them and for their university that walsh will be fired (even easier for
everybody, resign). He brings down not only his team but also the whole
league. Last weeekend after a stupid goal (the fifth BU goal in the
first game), he screamed at his players as if they did this on purpose
or something.
 
Last thing in favor of walsh, he promised that maine will be the
North-Dakota of the east, well, he sure delivered...
 
In any case, it was alot of fun ending the maine season, the second game
was as good a college hockey game as it gets.
 
GO BU
