    i think they said he has a sprained ankle and was questionable for the lowell/uconn weekend.

      Because he is suffering from obsession and severe paranoia. I think he needs psychiatric help.

        From today's BDN article:

        ...UNB right wing Chris Bruton, who scored twice in a 3-2 win at Northeastern on Saturday night. “I don’t think we deserved that many penalties. We play a tougher brand of hockey. There’s a lot more hitting. Obviously, it’s not the same here.”

        I don't think it was the hitting itself...it was the type of hitting, i.e. hits to the head, leading with elbows, after the whistle, etc, etc

        I enjoyed the player who just wouldn't shut up on the bench yelling at the ref waiting for a faceoff. Finally, Federico yanked him off the bench and sent him for a 10 minute cooling off in the sin bin.
        You know you go to UMaine if...

        ...you think Bananas is a good name for a giant bear.
        ...you would riot after hockey games but its too darn cold.
        ...you think hockey is the only sport that matters.
        ...you hate UNH.

              How's this for nice: I sincerely hope you get the help you need.

                You're assuming he ever stopped.

                  I was there...

                  one of them was an empty-netter, and their opponent was Merrimack. What else did he do at forward that year? And it wasn't even about what he did offensively, it's the principle behind the timing of such of a move.

                  Short of Ramsey, our defense consisted of Simon and Bret who's worth was measured more on the opponent's blueline; Carrierre who was more of a liability defensively; and then a trio of freshmen.

                  When you're struggling in all three zones, and your depth at pure D is that slim, why in the world do you move your 2nd best defensive option. Did Duffy's value at forward really outweigh weakening our defense more than it already was?

                  It appears we won 1 game courtesy of Duff playing forward. In contrast, (empty net goals aside) there were 7 games that we either tied or lost by one with Duffy at forward. He had an 0-1-1 line in those 7 games.


                  I just think he could have served us better where he belonged!

                    Can someone please tell me what the point of playing some of these Canadian teams really is? All they want to do is fight. Where is the upside for Maine? We take too great a chance of an injury happening in one of these games.

                    The only plus that I can see is for the pockets of the university. The Alfond was probably 85% full last night which is at least 50% more than they would get for a Blue-White game.

                    The ref's lost control of the game last night and then started handing out game misconduct penalties for everything.

                    On the plus side, it's hockey season and I for one am very happy to see Maine on the ice again.

                    Go Blue!

                      You answered your own question.

                        I actually thought there were several items on the plus side.

                        We saw how they stacked up against a bigger, more physical team. They got excellent work on the power play and penalty kill, got both goalies some live ice time, etc, etc

                          More than likely you're right. With what I pay for my 4 season tickets as well as the other 5400 or so people there on Friday and Saturday we should be able to host a game that we don't run the serious risk of injury in due to the "style of play" that was referenced in an earlier post. Leidermark (if memory serves) was wrecked late in the game on a blatant contact to the head call.

                          No need of it.
