UMaine 25-26: Marques My Word: Back to the Big Time

[amkirby10]

Fabulous win. Agree with others that it was one of the best games Ive seen them play in a while. As long as they look competitive tomorrow I'll be satisfied with the weekend, even if they lose. But hey, hopefully they win, and really get the ball rolling for second semester.

Great win. onhockey worked flawlessly lol.

Didn't see the game but from the comments sounds like they put it all together after the lay off. Need to do it again tonight. Wonder who is in net? A win sure would help NPI. Army beat northeastern, WTF

I was wondering the same. Boija looked as calm, cool and collected as he's looked all season, so do you ride the hot hand, or keep the rotation going?

Great game. Great win. Had a Maine buddy living out west go and he proudly wore blue. He said the crowd had the traditional Maine representation. Awesome to hear.

Have a feeling Barr will ride the hot hand again. If Boija's got his A-game back on there's plenty of reason to trust him.

Agree. House money and Boooyaa earned it. Lets see what he can do. Sure looks like the guy we remember from last year.

I agree. At the same time Barr said last night he would rotate them until one separates by playing well. So not playing Rousseau would abandon his rotation. Not sure Rousseau is given a fair competition for the spot if you don’t play him tonight. I expect to see Rousseau in net for that reason. Keep rotating until one fault ears or one stands on his head. We might have a great rotation developing. Howard/Doyle type developing.

Denver home ice must be an advantage due to altitude. In my youth I used to do some athletic stuff, did it a few times in higher altitude like denver and really noticed it. Got gassed much quicker.

 

[amkirby10]

Gerrior has been a pleasant surprise for me this year.

 

[amkirby10]

It was a great start for Maine, but after the Freel penalty and subsequent PPG to tie it, was really all DU.

Tied 1-1 after the first.

 

[NorthMike]

Need to tighten up that neutral zone a bit - defensively

 

[grooverider]

Good game so far but need to stay out of the box Denver killing us on the power play..a tie or win here would be huge third period awaits

 

[tylerzx2002]

Miler made a really clutch save on a Gerrior breakaway in the final minute that really could have swung the momentum.

Goes without saying but they need to stop giving Denver PP chances.

 

[amkirby10]

Big third period here, let's get it.

 

[Orono1993]

Bold prediction: Poirier 3rd period hat trick lol

 

[NewEnglandGuy]

2nd goal by Denver super softie. Miller > Boija a storyline to monitor

 

[Sparkee]

Bit of a softie given up by Boija there. Ugh

Hard to fault him when Lipinski screened the shot. Either block it or get out of the way.
