UMA beat Denver again, wow.. Its early yet but losing to Bentley sucks. Looks like the team still has no offense to speak of. We need snipers, I suspect like the recent past their aren't many on the team . Hopefully its early season jitters and not the sign of things to come. Quinnipiac will be tough.I swear there ain't no heaven but I pray there ain't no hell.

As frustrated as I was leaving the game an hour or two later I was feeling much better given the impression the freshmen made on me. They can all play and will form a solid foundation for the future. With both Timmy and Red they brought in quite a few guys who obviously weren’t good enough, that wasn’t the case with any of the guys I saw last night.Originally posted by BobbyBrady
Crosby probably wouldn't even be on BC's top two lines next year

Disagree with this. Bentley packed it in and Maine couldn’t cope. The one thing I would criticize Maine for is not working hard enough defensively. In the last couple years Maine hasn’t been the better team in a many games so last night was kind of a different experience..I swear there ain't no heaven but I pray there ain't no hell.

Second paragraph: did Mrs. Whitehead-Gendron just say say something nice about Coach Barr?? Wow!bigmrg74: "You can't drink the day away if you don't start early!"
SledDog: "UncleRay seems to be the most sensible one here tonight."
All great men are dead and I'm not feeling well.
A Margarita! in every hand and another Margarita! in the other hand!
And stay off the lawn!

What did the University of Maine men’s hockey team learn about itself during Saturday’s 5-1 loss to Atlantic Hockey team Bentley?
If it continues to play that way, it will validate what all the Hockey East coaches and media members felt when they voted in the two preseason polls: you’re nothing more than a last-place team.
This once-elite program hasn’t accomplished anything in 10 years.
It went from a program that produced 18 NCAA Tournament appearances between the 1986-87 and 2011-12 seasons — which included 11 Frozen Fours, five NCAA championship game appearances and two national titles — into a program that hasn’t even reached the Hockey East semifinals and NCAA tourney since 2012.

My wife has Disney not sure what tier, I asked if got ESPN+ she said no so I guess I'll have to upgrade. Will games be available afterwards? I'd like to get rid of cable and just stream stuff but like my DVR
UMA beat Denver and Michigan spanked BU. Looks like UMA is going to be good again this year

I can see them losing their next 6 games
I think there is a bit of overreacting going on. Obviously it was a terrible loss and that’s a game we should have. At the same time, it’s the third game of the year. They’ve played well in 2 out of 3 and they haven’t played a home game yet.
The first period was good, as was the majority of the third. Mucitelli struggled which to me is a bigger issue. They need to have good goaltending, I figure we see Ostman on Friday.
It’s time to put the Breen, Houle and Poisson line back together and they need to produce. The freshman line of Freel, Pabich and Kiecker Olson has been the best so far this year. They already have an identity and they get to the front of the net.
Bad game? Yes. A sign of things to come? I don’t think so. I think they get somewhat back on track this weekend with a split against a really good QU team.

That's correct but the landscape of hockey has changed a lot since you guys were great. Today all the schools are loaded with great tallent and top draft picks, in places like QU and UMass so it's different
Whether Barr can turn things around remains to be seen. I looked back and we're coming up on the eighth anniversary of my infamous "**** or get off the pot" post about UMaine athletics that cost me a fair number of friends because they'd rather labor under the impression that everything is fine and we just need to give it more time. Eight years later and we're still waiting. I closed that post with the warning that Maine hockey was going to become the laughingstock of Hockey East that Merrimack and UMass used to be. Successive last place finishes will just be the latest embarrassment.
