Up 3-2 to start the 3rd.

Attendence looks pathetic.

Unh has a home football playoff game on campus tonight.

Give Maine some credit, they took it to them even after being down 2 zip. 2 once proud programs fighting to stay out of the cellar

I may be mistaken, but I believe that is 3 straight for you guys at the Verizon...

Yep. down 2-0, and they didn't pack it in, but fought back, hard. Maybe Red's finally getting through to them. These last few games have been how they played for the most part last season, hustling and battling hard for pucks.

Agreed it was nice to see Maine down 2 take it to a team even though UNH isn't very good. I don't think it was a coincidence that both Hutton and Shore finally made an impact in a game and Maine wins convincingly.

Maine definitely has more confidence and fight as of late.

I thought the picture on Maine's TV broadcasts were poor, wow, I had no idea where the puck was most of the time. Not sure if it was just Dish Net or its really that bad.

I don't have an HD tv yet, but I thought the signal was worse than most channels last night too. It wasn't just Dish Net because I have Time Warner. It was still great to see them score some goals though!

Some thoughts on last night:
-A WIN!
-a road win at that.
-5 goals by 5 different guys
-2 power play goals
-good effort all around. Defense continued to look much improved.
-Romeo solid
-sustained and repeated offense by Maine while on the PK. 3 PK's I can remember where they were playmaking and firing at the UNH net. Nice to see.
-first time to the Verizon Wireless. Unremarkable facility. And the place was less than 50% full last night. Shameful.
-Red was trying all kinds of line combos last night. Merchant-Shore-Tegeler for the entire game. Unusual but effective.
- Hutton's goal was a bullet. Silent and deadly. All net. What he's supposed to do.
-a few negatives as well, but not for here, not now.

On to Portland tonight. I believe that the arena tonight will be full. I do believe that the team has found some cohesion and chemistry. See you there.

I think it's FCS. We recorded the WBIN feed and it's Hi Def and pretty good. I'm sure FCS just repackaged that feed and converted it to a crummy image.

When we see FCS broadcasts of Maine games on Comcast, it's a dark, standard def, shrunken image that we have to zoom to see full screen on our TV.
