According to Joe Carr, Merrimack hasn't won at Maine since November of 1997. Wow.

Ok, apparently, Maine sports are no longer being broadcast over Yahoo sports. And the link on the Umaine sports page doesn't go active until 7PM game time. Sooooo, anyone know a link where I can listen to the pregame show as well as the game?

Edit: forget it, broadcast was just late in starting. Got it now.

Maine is 0-2 on the PP so far in the 1st.

Re: Merrimack @ Maine - 10/7/11

The lack of game-changing saves killed Maine last year, but Ouellette just made two excellent stops.

Re: Merrimack @ Maine - 10/7/11

That goon Bigos to the box, makes it a 5x3 PP for 1:20. Whitehead calls a Timeout.

Re: Merrimack @ Maine - 10/7/11

2-0 Merrimack now. Connor Toomey scores a shorthanded goal.

Everything about this play was terrible for Maine.

End of the 2nd period.

The home win streak against Merrimack is at risk. Maine was 1-8-3 last year when trailing going into the 3rd.

flynn goes all keystone cops at the point on the pp... 2-0 merrimack

all the regular die hard fans .... died?

and before anyone blames Timmy for putting Flynn and Abbott on the point on the PP... think back to all the times that timmy did that and it was successful.

look at the upside.
Pryor's skating and Liedermark's skating and stick handling make me realize that even in my middle age, I could play D1 hockey
