Maine coach Tim Whitehead’s keys to the game: “We’ve got to stay out of the penalty box. They have a good power play [22.2 percent, 13th best in the country]. We’ve got to defend their speed by maintaining good defensive position. And we’ve got to screen the goalie.”
Maybe you should avoid the game altogether…At leasnt it wouldnt be yet another LOSS!!!
Hiring new coach key to Maine ever winning again in hockey says UM fan.
actually the key is motivation. see my post on mbr.org
These are the same keys to every game for this bozo and they are 2-9. So either the keys don’t work or the coach doesn’t work I’m going with the latter.
Penalties hurt your team? Thanks for sharing that little known pearl of wisdom Mr. Whitehead.
Can we put Whitehead in the penalty box for like the rest of the season? PLEASE
