Maine coach Tim Whitehead’s keys to the games: “We’ve got to stay out of the penalty box. We’ve got to play strong team defense and we’ve got to get to the opposing net.”
Wow TIMMAY, so insightful.
Any ideas on how you’re gonna do those things? Might be good to come up with some. That is your job, after all. Too bad you’re not very good at it.
Abbot should send Whitehead packing and appoint Jim Montgomery or Eric Weinrich as interum coach.
