University of Maine 2024–2025: Freel-ing good

[Wayuphere]

I’ll be watching that first line tonight to see if they can get in sync.
Bottom line, if Maine wants to run with the big boys then it needs its #1 line to step up their game. Would free up more space for Makars line, etc., who will currently be getting the defensive attention instead of the first line.

This could really be a game changer for the athletic department. I hope there are no shenanigans with the school/system.

I think your last name must be Shenanigan.

I'm not sure what that even means lol..anyway

D Pair mixup tonight, Antonacci is benched from what I know. D lines will be different.

Sounds like theres stipulations in how it can be used for athletics. Coach retention was mentioned among others.

Why is he benched?

Why is he benched?

I'm not sure..nobody knows. He's been playing bottom pairing minutes. I'm wondering if he just needed a kick from Barr or there's something else going on. The D now are more 2 way so maybe they need more of that from him.

Oh well, I’m sure coach has his reasons. The lines are the same according to the listing on hockey east online. They also have Silverstein making his first start in goal for Quinnipiac. That is about the toughest place to have a first start under that balcony at Alfond. See how he handles nerves. Hope the students know his Mom’s name.
