University of Maine 2024–2025: Freel-ing good

[Sparkee]

I guess...Minnesota is getting some banked rep..their schedule has been meh to say the least.

Maine stays 6th in the USA Today poll. https://www.uscho.com/rankings/national-polls/

Here is a link to expanded highlights on “let’s go Maine” YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/bbCieaNqUxg?si=IJtX620y_Tav-GyB

I like that channel because they show the highlights from both teams and a lot of high quality chances and good defensive plays too.

At 5:45 you will see this ridiculous save by Whitehead on the shot off a rebound by Fowler with Whitehead down. Poor Fowler can’t seem to buy a goal right now. He deserved one there and Whitehead miraculously windmilled him.

Makar is great, every college hockey player should learn from his interview skills. Always be complimentary and positive of the fans, school, coaches and fellow players, even with your prior teams. Whether you mean it or not, very important. Its either a natural attribute for him or his advisor is a good one.

It was announced this morning that Maine/Denver on 1/3 at Alfond will be nationally televised on ESPNU at 6pm.

Who loses by more: Maine Football at Oklahoma or Maine Basketball at Duke?

I remember my freshman year hoops went and played at Duke a few weeks after losing to Fort Kent. They only lost by 39!

In the Duke game the other night they played ASU(coached by Duke legend Bobby Hurley) and beat them by 56. So if they aren’t gonna show mercy on Bobby Hurley they won’t on Maine.

That’s a legit question. I’ll say football keeps it closer.

The new USCHO podcast with Ben Barr is a great listen.

The new USCHO podcast with Ben Barr is a great listen.

Cant say enough good about Barr, these interviews have to be gold for recruiting. He does a fair number of them too which is great. How long has it been since we had a coach willing to do them or was sought after for interviews.
In comparison Red would barely talk to Larry and civilly, rip, Barr treats Larry very respectful like everyone he encounters. How far things have come!

Here is a link in case people are wondering where it is: https://www.uscho.com/2024/10/30/mai...n-7-episode-3/

They mentioned a limit on roster size potentially. What is the purpose of having a roster size limit?
