University of Maine 2024–2025: Freel-ing good

[grooverider]

Wonder if we can get a win tomorrow at the Sh**temore Center at Key Auto group we funded you some money complex

I read this today in the preview of the game on goblackbears.com “Current Maine assistant coach Alfie Michaud had seven career wins against UNH, including a stretch of five-straight beginning with a Feb. 1, 1998 win and stretching to the April 3, 1999 National Championship, 3-2, overtime win at Arrowhead Pond.” I question if this is true because I remember UNH swept Maine at Whitemore that year at the end of the regular season. Maybe he didn’t play in that series at UNH? Morrison played in 11 games that year, but I doubt he would have played in that UNH series to close the season unless Alfie was hurt.

His streak was five games, but that stretch was from 2/1/98 - 2/7/99.

They got swept by UNH in that series on 3/5/99 & 3/6/99. Alfie started both games losing 6-1 and 4-1, but Morrison came in for relief in the Friday game.

Next game they played against each other was the Natty and we know how that turned out hehe

Right, so the game preview verbiage was wrong. I agree with you on the hehe.

My memory sucks, but was Yeats rotating with Morrison ?

Yeats carried the mail in 99/00 and 00/01 and then they moved to more of a rotation in 01/02. Still hate that Timmy started Yeats over Morrison in the 2002 NC game...

[Sparkee]

Well Maine didn’t get any points last year down at UNH, with two tries. I would be happy if they come away with any points tonight.

We've looked good in our Friday road games this year, but who knows what happens with no chance for a Saturday letdown

Yeats didn't lose that game, Timmy did by playing conservatively late in the game.

While this is true, Morrison was so good all season that I think he would have benefitted from the change in style in that game.

No disrespect to Yeats but they definitely had a weird rotation toward the end of that season, not sure if it was just to keep opposing coaches on their toes.

If only Doyle would have been eligible.

Morrison looked great the game before in that in the 7-2 drubbing of….. ???? …. UNH

We came full circle

I VERY rarely hang anything on Refs, but Piotrowski’s performance was special. You saw the forearm shiver thrown by Fowler last weekend? That was NOTHING compared to Adam Hauser’s, when he took down a flying Todd Jackson right in front of Piotrowski, in OT, right after Schutte was called for a leg check (correct call, in my opinion).

he also allowed Minny to play a lot rougher than Maine during the game.

BUT…the refs tried to make up for it on a crap “closing the hand on the puck” call against Denver, 2 years later, while Maine was on the PP already. (Bigfoot Hamilton remembers THAT game, I’m sure.)

Unh trying to clog up the middle of the ice while our passing stinks

[NorthMike]

We need 37 to step it up tonight and hustle.
15 to stop messing around with the puck in the D zone.
6 gives me heartburn.

[grooverider]

Are we playing the 90s Devils? I mean seriously 1-2-2 trap from UNH

[grooverider]

Of course there's no call at UNH lol..
