I'd like to find out why many in the college hockey community have all but written off UMaine for this season. It is a well known fact that the record of the Black Bears over the last 7 years is the best of any team in NCAA Div I play. Given that, what is the reason for all these people placing UMaine 4th or worst in Hockey East. Personally, being a UMaine "graduate" and having a Dad who works at the Alfond and knows Walsh personnaly, I'll pick UMaine to kick all others butts in HE as well as WCHA, CCHA, ECAC... Personal feelings aside, I'd like to see what others think about my questions above. Thanks in advance for you views... :-)
