Renwick with a nice chance on the breakaway.

That hurts.

ETA: Challenging for offside. I hate this rule.

Goal disallowed. Still scoreless. I still hate the rule.

That was a genuine howler from the linesman.

Shots 23-13 UNO
SOG 14-6 UNO
Faceoffs 9-9
Both teams 0-1 on PP.
Scoreless after 1.

For whatever reason neither audio site would load and Alexa was no help either. Fortunately I was able to get the UNO student broadcast. Decent production quality. Sadly the between periods entertainment is country music, so...

I've got the Maine audio feed pretty well synced up with an Omaha video feed, so I can confirm the audio is definitely working.

That won't be challenged. 1-0 Omaha.

Ben Poisson with the first goal of the Ben Barr Era. Sirota and Dawe with the assists.

Poisson has looked great tonight, really shooting the puck a lot. Breazeale has been Maine’s best defenseman tonight, looks like he was a great late addition, I’ve been really impressed by his skating

Outside of a couple really bad turnovers Maine has been great.

Is it just me or is Hebert underwhelming? I’ve been much more impressed with Fawcett.

Shots 35-28 UNO
SOG 19-16 UNO
Faceoffs 23-18 UNO
Both teams 0-3 on the power play.
1-1 after two periods.

Considering how bad this team played on the road last year, these first two periods have been quite nice to watch.

A few turnovers that could have turned out worse but early returns are solid.

Would love to see Maine cash in on the PP. At this point I'll settle for some quality chances when they are up a man.

Can't be undisciplined on the road in a close game. 2-1 Omaha now...

UNO 4-1

Undisciplined third period penalty converted into the game-winning power play goal.

Didn't watch, but sounded like a bit of a mixed bag. Poor discipline late is disheartening, but with literally the first game leaves plenty of time to change. Sounded like a decent game to be played for a road game against a ranked opponent. Mostly kept it close, it appears. Penalties will be a big thing to look out for, see what Barr puts in place in terms of accountability for poor discipline and decision making.

I see the troll from UHN who is so concerned about hockey content is planning (threatening even) to continue fat-shaming. I really hope it doesn't. The UHN thread will be much quieter if it gets banned.

Something seems to be enjoying its heavy-handed moderator *powers* a little bit too much, I'd say.

Here's an idea - why don't you take your super-duper powers out for a walk to visit with Coach, and ask him if he's bothered by any of this "fat chat"? He looks like a pretty tough-minded guy, and I can't imagine he hasn't encountered this before, it doesn't bother him, and it goes with the territory. This bizarre desire to "protect" someone who doesn't need or want protection, I'm afraid, says a whole lot more about where you're coming from than it does about anyone else.
