How did Ostman miss that one?
The sun got in his eyes.
The sole up-side of being a Maine fan today is that football put up 526 total yards today on the road, and are now in the black, even with Fagnano sidelined.
That was good to see. Hockey will take a bit longer.

If they kick the crap out of UMass again in teo weeks it’ll make my year in Black Bear sports
Hockey will be a long winter. Im gonna assume theyd have the same record with any coach so my thought is at least we’ve started the rejuvenation process here instead of sitting here 0-4 knowing it’ll be at 7-19 months before theres even a coaching search.
This isnt fun but its better than that
That was an absolutely brutal goal to lose on. It did feel like improvement compared to Friday though. I know the last goal by Ostman was a howler but as a fan I feel more comfortable with him in the net, and the team seems to play better in front of him. It’ll be interesting to see who starts next weekend or if they split the games.
Mulera seemed like a good addition last night, he doesn’t seem totally comfortable out there but he shows flashes that make me think he could contribute. Morrissey had a really strong weekend, the way he buzzes around the net makes me think if he gets hot, he could provide some decent goal scoring numbers for Maine.

We got the coach that most of us wanted....he's getting commitments left & right....Alfond renovations are on the horizon.....this might be the best losing season ever!
I look at this as Year Zero of the Barr era. This isn't a young team (average age 22.8, tied for 13th oldest in the nation). There are a few young guys who will be on Maine's next winning team, but there are only three freshmen. Any issues that the prior year teams have had (penalties, for one) are in the walls. The goal of this year has to be recruiting, developing some young guys, and trying to eliminate the retained bad habits (penalties, for one). The bad habits won't go away overnight.
The team should be better in February than it is now, and it should look completely different next season.

Maine is 0-5 vs. #6 (neutral site), #9 (x2 away) and #21 (x2 away)....Their schedule has been pretty tough.
And Brown is somehow getting Top 20 poll votes. I guess we should remind ourselves how useless early polls and RPI really are.
Polls mean dick, as you say.
But Maine is going to **** the bed this year, no doubt.
This is Red's dumpster fire, plain and simple.
It's going to take at least a couple of seasons to see the light of day. This team is the worst I've ever seen in Orono, or at least very close to it.
If they can get the penalty thing under control and get rid of the dump and chase....it'll be a success.
