Re: Maine Black Bears 2010 - 2011
Interesting Fan Feedback piece on the BDN. I actually think I know who this guy is...but there's nothing Earth shattering in there. Plus, he must not know about the RFP that was put out earlier this fall to address both seating and sound (but granted, not the sightlines) among other things.You know you go to UMaine if...

Re: Maine Black Bears 2010 - 2011
I read it earlier, while I agree that certain seats suck, saying we should look at Agganis for a blueprint is lacking in common sense. Agganis cost 150 million, the U can't afford a new toilet seat let alone the cost for the updates coming next summer. Thankfully Alfond can and is willing to donate the few million it takes for new ice, boards etc.Originally posted by Maineiak View PostI swear there ain't no heaven but I pray there ain't no hell.

And aren't our seats some of the cheapest in the league? I think I just saw a single-game Merrimack ticket costs close to $30!Originally posted by walrus View PostYou know you go to UMaine if...

If the Alfond every lost its barn-ness or the awesome acoustics of its roof, I'd weep.Me: ...but why would anyone want to vacation here? There are better mountains in NH and VT, beaches in Cape Cod and RI, and colonial landmarks in Mass and CT.
Boss: You've got it all wrong. It's Vacationland because nobody would ever want to live here for more than a week.

That was absolutely miserable to watch. BC did a great job all around and Maine didn't adapt at all.GO MAINEComment

Re: Maine Black Bears 2010 - 2011
Yes. But as I pointed out previously - our strategy is to make as few adjustments as possible. Make sure our opponents know exactly what to prepare for, and never, ever stir your gameplan to keep the other team guessing. That's just plain cruel.Originally posted by Maine fan at UNH View Post
Our full proof plan now will be to exclusively play Sirman until he's burnt out.
That might be as quickly as this coming Saturday, but hey, it might be February! He did make 6 saves after the game was long decided so I'd say his hands are pretty hot. We won't know until we try it.
Afterall, we can't risk playing that Sullivan kid anytime soon. I mean, remember that ONE rough game he had against Boston College last...er...tonight? We'd be jeopardizing our chances if we played him again.

Re: Maine Black Bears 2010 - 2011
Maine stunk up the joint tonight which goes without saying.....Sullivan was aveage, if he matched Muse you're looking at 1-0 game. Maybe 2-0 but the shorty to Gibbons and the third goal were bad. Maine couldn't win draws and that was killer.....no forecheck at all. Missed Dimmen and O'Neill on the 5x3 badly. If Dimmen's out long term the PP's going to need to be completely retooled strategy wise. Yuck.

Re: Maine Black Bears 2010 - 2011
According to radio reports Sullivan didn't play that badly. One of the goals (2nd?), was on a turnover when Sullivan left the net to play the puck and turned it over. Youthful mistake. Maine's power play efficiency continues to be a big problem. Just a bad game all around.Comment

Re: Maine Black Bears 2010 - 2011
without having seen it, here are my thoughts...
first goal was while bc was on a 5 on 3 powerplay on a shot that was deflected... can't really fault him on that one...
second goal was on sullivan... tried to headman the puck and put right to gibbons...
third one sounded like a bad turnover by maine leading to a quick shot...
fourth - was again on the powerplay which imo cannot be blamed on a goaltender unless it is something egregious...
that said, give sirman the start on sunday and see how it goes... if he plays well, go with a rotation between the two... if he gets shelled, give ouellette a lookComment

Re: Maine Black Bears 2010 - 2011
Any time you let the other team put the puck into an empty net that's bad. Maybe the Tom Atkinson goal was a soft one as he had a clear view of it seemingly and got a big piece of it but it still went in. He had no shot on the Carey goal and might not have seen the Mullane goal, which was a snipe inside the post with two Maine players screening him.Originally posted by Runsub5 View Post
Maine did not look good tonight at all but it was kind of a strange game, Maine won a lot of battles in the first two periods but still didn't bring much offense to the table with that. Still, this game could have been much different if they had not hit two posts in the first plus the Nyquist penalty shot in the first, which was one of the worst penalty shots I've ever seen. Really, very few players stood out for Maine. A few times I noticed a guy once and realized he was playing tonight (Amestoy and Corkum come to mind) and that was the only time I noticed them. Nyquist was very quiet aside from the penalty shot. Diamond was active and had some nice moves near the BC net that got it into the crease before BC cleared it away. Flynn and House were very quiet as well.
We'll see what happens Sunday. Are the players planning on taking in the BC-UVA game or taking a free day around town?Originally posted by reBlurComment
