The Barr Has Been Raised at UMaine

Not a great start.

Not a great start.

Gotta make possession count.

[UncleRay]

Too long, didn't read

He's almost always too long. Chuck being an absolute windbag is his greatest detraction.

[Drew S.]

Feels like Maine getting shutout tonight.

[NorthMike]

Thiessen played very well.
the one goal was a real fluke.

[ticapnews]

Maine had never been shut out by an Atlantic Hockey opponent.

Tough loss. The team had chances but could not capitalize. Should have been a 7-6 thriller, instead it was 1-0 and the only goal was a fluky bounce. Both goaltenders played well. It seems Maine still faces Dominic Hasek every week.

Elsewhere, Merrimack defeated BU, CC beat BC and Lowell managed a tie with Michigan State. At least Providence saved Hockey East by defeating Denver. Oh, and Michigan lost. Apparently the Wolverines aren't invincible after all.

I really question the wisdom of having one of your two paid assistants with zero experience in American college hockey. He probably has helped with recruiting, even though Alfie is the one on the road, but maybe next year Ben needs to go in a different direction. It would be nice to have a dman on the staff so you have every position covered.

I said this after the Omaha series, something is really off right now. This isn’t a great Maine team by any means but no way should they be getting shutout by Sacred Heart at home.

Nice to see Maine play with discipline. It's been awhile since Maine played 60 minutes of hockey with only 2 penalty minutes.

This is Red's team, and you've been defending his recruiting for YEARS.

Get your story straight.

Border Pillow Fight

Early nominee for Post of the Year, with your follow-up on the Granite State Gas-bag a close 2nd.

Carry on!

First time watching Maine in quite some time. No talent offensively that I can see. Cant teach talent, gotta recruit it. Thought Theissen looked pretty composed out there. Couple of D impressed with ability to carry the puck. Sacred Heart....how things have changed.

Yep, move in the right direction. I didnt start streaming it until late in the first I think it was and didnt see a Maine penalty rest of the game.

Not sure how much of that was the refs, but yes that was nice to see 5 on 5 hockey.
Saw improvement with breaking out from D zone, so they are working on that. Otherwise offensively, there are no goal scorers on this roster, its going to have to be a year of goaltending and D to keep it close.

Didn't watch much but the breakout seems to be better. Offense has been anemic for years, no change there.
