Since no one seems to be supporting the BDN, I'll do my customary jump to the other side and offer ... I am optimistic that the BDN will improve substantially in the weeks and months to come. The recent hiring of Mark Woodward as Editor will have a dramatic effect on the quality of what we see there, IMHO. Changes are already being made; keep the faith :-) An on the 6-0 BU victory ... Anyone watch the teams exchange handshakes after the game, or listen to the post-game media conferences? This early season drubbing was a disappointment for everyone looking for a new "Alfond classic" match (me included). But for me, all of the sting left as I heard coaches Parker and Walsh praise each other and each other's team. It may take a healthy Parmentier and Wansborough and a hot goalie to go all the way, but I think we've got a team we can enjoy watching and be proud of here. Where will you be at 1 pm this Saturday? (Correct answer: Alfond Arena, Orono). cheers, wayne Wayne T. Smith Old Town Landing
