I've only seen 6 Maine games this year, so I've tried to keep my mouth shut and listen to those of you who watch them all the time...

Having said that, they seem to me to have the horses to be much better than their record indicates. Much better.

They should be right around .500 at this point. Gave some games away. I think there are a couple kids that will be good and are starting to emerge. They'll have a better 2nd half IMO. It seems like Shore might be getting healthy and that will help. Not sure what you mean by much better. I think if they can get to .500 that would be much better considering the 1st half performance. If you watch this team in person you can see the difference in speed, talent etc when they are playing a top level team. The D just looks plain lost on some nights and there isn't enough scoring to compensate. Just my .02

They look like a team that should be slightly north of .500 to me, and right in the mix. Small sample for me to evaluate, yes, but I just haven't seen a yawning gulf in terms of talent vs. any other team this season. IMO, the D is making fewer world-class bonehead plays than they did under Tim, and Romeo looks like he's figuring things out.

As you say, the schedule is getting softer. It would be a real accomplishment if Maine could rally to the extent that they finish above .500, but I won't fall out of my chair if they do just that.

I thought he was 2016 but maybe they are moving him up a year.

Not sure if anyone is interested, but I purchased 4 tickets to the game up at Alfond and because of a death of a friend we will no longer be attending. I have posted the tickets for sale on stubhub at $20 below face value just hoping that we can get something back for them.

Good win ugly game, 2 once proud programs looking like cellar dwellers. Lots of mistakes, not much D. Romeo was the better goalie but that ain't saying much.
