University of Maine 2024–2025: Freel-ing good

[grooverider]

Are you talking about the seasons when Maine won 7 and 15 games respectively?

You do remember how bad those teams were correct? Especially the 7 win one. Pretty sure adding Sidney Crosby they may have won 12.

Yes I do remember how bad they were....and Breen was pretty much the best player or close to it at the time. He seems like a good kid that wears his heart on his sleeve and has been super loyal to the program. But anyone that has followed him will also admit that he has struggled on the ice since the 2nd half of last season. He's a smallish player and doesn't have a lot of strength IMO....even compared to players of similar size. I know it sounds like I am being harsh but I honestly feel like he is 3rd/4th line material in Maine's current line-up.

I think he's more of a Marchand type (not the same skills) in the sense you need him for a championship. He's a good grinder and gets under the other teams skin and gets them off their game. Fowler was supposed to be that but he's doing much better as the scoring type. Always appreciate some good hockey opinions thanks

Seems like Nadeau is due for a goal. I think if he plays quick and lets some one timers fly he’ll get there. He’s been collecting the puck and telegraphing leading to a lot of blocked shots. Gotta let it fly or quick touch to a teammate on the power play.

I won't be able to watch tonight, will have to follow on live stats. Hopefully they can lock in for a win, won't be easy.

What is more important than Maine hockey?

Even if your wife goes into labor have her delay it in favor of Maine hockey.

Same here on the radio though.
Hard to get a feel for the tempo and the game.

It's weird..I'll be watching again on ESPN+ but the game seemed slow last night. Maybe because I'm used to watching them live. The camera guy also was all over the place and it's a strange angle at Matthews.

He was in the first row of the balcony at center ice. So it is a steep angle down to the ice. So I assume that makes tracking the puck a bit more difficult because the movement needs to be quicker side to side.

I was in balcony last night and it was a fantastic view in person. I watched the replay today of the game last night and the video did not do it any justice at all.

I’m hoping Nadeau and Breen each break their scoring slump tonight. Fowler and Russell both played well last night. So these lines might turn out to be very good for Maine going forward.

W T F was Leskaowski doing on that play? Let the guy skate right by him and knock the puck into the net.

Lesakowski is sketchy in my book. Oh well, coaches like him.
