    I thought Maine played well in the first and third. But seemed lost positionally and sloppy in the second.

    Last night was a more complete effort. To be honest I think both teams goalies played well and scrambled to collectively keep the score low.

    If Maines played that way all season they'd have many more wins. The team that went on the road to UMD, UConn, and Princeton was far worse than the team that played last weekend. So improvement is there, but not sure it is enough to matter. We will see.

              Lol, that was a good one. Actually we have a great UMaine athlete, daughter of great high school legend, from Van Buren. That Rossignol can shoot. Wow. Her Dad was a shooter too. So happy for her.

                I'm going to try to see the women B-ball team on the road. It's always been a better-than-average program. My uncle from Fairfield (who is actually in the hoops HOF in Springfield as a ref) always said that Maine HS hoops (both sexes) were good despite the odds, because the coaching tended to be unusually astute in Maine. (And this coming from a guy who reffed for many years in Maine and MA, and had to be escorted from several games by local cops in both States.)

                  Not sure what that means. But next week it'll be figured out.

                    Parise was coached in high school by her dad. She quit UMaine bball as she wasnt having fun. Coach Vachon asked if she wanted to play again. This year she is a key player on a good team

                        Sirota knows how to play. Let's hope Red doesn't frig his head.

                        He is listed as alternate skater... 19th skater. I would put him on top pair with Keeper.

                          I like Sirota a lot, hes been a great addition to the team and has played well. He deserves more ice time. However, theres two big problems I see in Sirota watching him play. First, when he gets beat, he gets beat badly. Secondly, he seems to have a knack for taking penalties late in periods, which is never good. But on the whole, I like the kid a lot, can definitely play.

                            Evidently you prefer fumble frig turnovers... he's played great seeings he had one month. Looks to me he skates well. Plays body. Takes the body. Chips up out when he needs. Looks to me like a young Davey Cullen. Which this team desperately needs.

                              To be honest i have seen Michel and Keeper play well lately. But that Sirotas is a great D man. He deserves a lot of minutes.

                                someone posted that Bob Corkum is coaching US women national team. I guess they were on nhl network last night
