On Apr. 19, Bri Farenell posted the fact that Shawn Walsh may be offered a job
as an assistant coach along side Mike Keenan and the New York Rangers.  He also
pointed out that the Ferraro twins have been drafted by them.  Well, I've taken
to calling UMaine a farm team for the Rangers.  Here's the reason why.

There you go, some Maine notes and facts.  Here's a little scenario,
San Jose picks Paul Kariya in the first round, pick up Shawn Walsh as their
new head coach.

P.S.  In case you missed it, Scott Pellerin put a check on Mario early in the
first periodof a game late in the season.  Mario crashed into the boards and
did not return until the end of the game, during a power play!
