The Barr Has Been Raised at UMaine

[umhockey91]

Tha was an old fashioned Maine Hockey period. Love it!

[dogtagger]

Wow! How do you give up a shorty to a team with one stick?

[Maine Pudge]

Never seen a penalty kill where only one player has a stick let alone have that one player go down and score a short handed goal. Wow!

Tell-tale signs your opponent didn't come ready to compete. Embarrassing.

Correct. UNH never showed up in the first period. I expect a different game tomorrow night. 1-0 or 2-1?

Great performance, team really fed off the crowd. I hope there were some recruits in the building, the place looked packed. If Maine were to win tomorrow night they’d be 4 points behind UNH with a game in hand. Likely playing Providence, Northeastern or BC in the first round.

Student section was fired up big time.
Hadnt seen them like that since two years ago, nice to see.

I think Suthers had a game misconduct, should be available tomorrow.

Pounding UNH always makes me feel warm and happy inside.

(And it ain't as though the Mildcats were anywhere near a PW berth... Win,win.)

Fun game for Maine fans. UHN looked asleep at the wheel early, better in the 2nd. Tonight I expect Maine to fall behind early and try to catch up. Neither team is a world beater but like to see Maine playing hard. Its a good sign if Barr can get some talent in Orono.

Got to like 1 stick on the ice on a PP, 3 Maine players broke their sticks and Maine scores a shortie

I’m pretty sure I heard that every healthy skater was in the lineup last night. It was nice to see Maine beat up on a team and hopefully the last half dozen games we can see a consistent effort level to build momentum for next year.

Did someone really say Breen wasn’t a blue chipper?

Terrific game for the Black Bears and what a crowd! Old school Alfond atmosphere.

This blue chip term is kind of ridiculous, was he the most recruited guy, probably not, but he’s very talented. As he’s become more confident, it’s really showing. He is going to be the player this rebuild is centered around at least the first couple years.

There’s been some talk about Barr’s year 3 and this might be a hot take but I think Maine makes the tournament that year. Combining the talent coming in with Breen and Houle as seniors should make for a team that can score. Ostman will be a senior and the d core is only going to get stronger.
