Miami, Army and Vermont are all ranked in the top 20 poll this week. Merrimack was already there. Maine's schedule became more difficult than anticipated.

On paper Boston College looks favorable now, but does anyone really expect a pair of easy games later this month?

I could easily see Maine sweeping Vermont and BC sweeping Maine.
 
I just feel like every weekend will be a split. As Fishman said, there's no separation in the league outside of BU and PC. The way Maine plays means that every game will be 3-2, 2-1, etc. coin flips unless one of the heavy hitters score a couple early goals and the boulder rolls downhill like night 1 at BU.

Maine may well be a .500 team in Hockey East this season. The good news is that .500 might be good enough to sneak into a home playoff spot. Since the Pandemic, .500 has been good for 8th, 6th, 7th and 5th place. Maine was .500 last season and only 3 points off home ice.

BTW, everyone be sure to wish Tyler a Happy Birthday.

Thank you! I was a senior in HS when I started posting on here and now 20 years later I'm an old curmudgeon like the rest of you all. ;)

Happy birthday!

Hey did you call into Morning Bru with Jaffe and Raycroft on EEI the other day? There was a “Tyler from Maine” who presented a pretty detailed question to them about Mason Lohrei - thought it could have been you!
 
Going back to the coin flip talk from the weekend, I think that's about right, but I'd bet on better than .500 if the pucks ever start going in. They're 10th in the country in shots at almost 35 a game and shooting just over 7%, near the bottom of D1. Two at first-place Vermont is a tough place to find out, but a team getting that many looks shouldn't stay 1-3 in the league for long.

Maine did everything right against Umass except score more goals. The levee has to break eventually for Maine, but so far they are snakebit. Hopefully it gets better soon. Lots of NPI/conference points on the table this weekend

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