UMaine '26-'27: The Bridge On the River Stillwater

I dunno. Alternatively they could just be bad at shooting.

Could be, but the last three years say otherwise. Maine shot 9.4%, 8.9% and 9.9% the last three seasons, and they're at 6.6% now (not counting empty-netters). Same coach, same system. And grooverider is right about Eskit, he stopped 88 of 91 that weekend. I still think the pucks start going in, hopefully starting in Burlington.

Interesting looking at returning forwards:

Max Scott was 7.4% last year, he's actually up to 8.3%
Owen Fowler went from 11.5% to 13.5% to 5.4%.
Gerrior 11.1% to 0% (27 shots last year, 21 this year)
Brock James 10% to 9.1%
Komarov 4.2% to 10.8% to 0% (only taken 6 shots)
Lipinski was 0-for-20 last year, at 6.3% this year
Pichette 11.1% to 10.2% to 0-for-10
Russell 10.6% to 8% to 0-for-15
Scholle 12.1% to 4.8% to 9% to 4.3%

Great breakdown. The part that jumps out is Gerrior, Pichette and Russell: they're a combined 0-for-46 this year, and all three have shot around 10% or better in past seasons. At their usual rates that's 4 or 5 goals that haven't shown up yet. Shooting slumps like that don't usually last all year, so I'd bet on those three more than on a guy like Komarov who's barely shooting.

Komorav isnt a goal scorer, terrible shot, he is a banger and chaser.
 
On this day in 2017 Paul Kariya was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. Easily the greatest athlete I've ever known but off the ice he was an even better friend. Kind, generous and (despite his obvious talent) incredibly humble. Hopefully we'll see him at Alfond this season.

On Friday the 13th of November, 1992 the Alfond became a house of horrors for the Merrimack Warriors as Maine routed them 14-1.

My recap of the game from the old College Hockey Discussion List:

I'll just provide a few tidbits, since there have already been 2 posts about the game. Eric Fenton and Kent Salfi both notched hat tricks, while Chris Ferraro added two more, leading Maine to a 14-1 win over the Merrimack Warriors. Merrimack's lone goal came on a power play in the third period. Maine has not given up an even-strength goal for 9 periods, dating back to the October 30 game vs The University of New Brunswick. Also, Maine has dominated Special Teams. The power play is always superb (2 more PPG last night) but this season the penalty kill is remarkable. Maine has surrendered 12 goals in 6 games, with 6 of those power play goals. However, Maine has scored 9 Shorthanded goals and has totally controlled special teams situations.

The list of Maine players scoring their first career goals gained a new member last night, as Michel Latendresse scored a goal, and added 2 assists (all in the first period).

Pretty meh period. Couldn't really control the puck, missed a wide open net, didn't get many shots off.
