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

    I'm at the age where growing up Niko was one of my favorite Black Bears. Always thought it was a shame his NHL career got interrupted by the 2004 lockout and he wasn't able to get a much time in the lineup when they returned to play. The Niko comp with Marques makes perfect sense to me. He's...

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

    Once Maine got the forecheck going in the second period and beyond it was over for Vermont. Getting a couple powerplay goals was big too. This team is averaging just over 4 goals per game with a middle of the pack powerplay (32nd at 19.1%). Imagine if that actually gets going a bit more...

    Maine Recruits: When Ashes Fall, Legends Rise

    Seven other incoming forwards in the mix. I don't really blame him for pushing a year even if he would be in the lineup right now.

    Maine Recruits: When Ashes Fall, Legends Rise

    Luke Mistelbacher has been locked in recently and is up to 28 points in 18 games to start the year for the Wheat Kings. Averaging about 5 SOG per game and has 9 multi-point games (to just 5 scoreless games). Looking like he'll slot right into the lineup next season.

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

    Those two early PK's for UMass in the first really were momentum killers for Maine. Thought they played a solid road game for the first half or so, but ultimately that 5x3 PP was the dagger that they never really recovered from. Really love the way UMass played that 5x3 with 2 guys below the...

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

    All things considered Irving played about as well as he could on Thursday night as well. Maine probably should have hit double digits that night. Had to figure Carvel would have them ready to play after the way Maine took it to them the night before. Haven't watched the tape from last night as...

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

    I have a few Boija stat notes I can add as well... Boija's played his 62nd career game last night, passing Rob McGovern (61). He is now tied for 15th on the career games played list for goalie with Jeff Nord. He also got his 38th career win last night, entering him into a tie for 10th place...

    Obviously tough to excuse OZone penalties but with how much tenacity this team plays with on the forecheck some of those stick infractions are probably going to happen. Still want them to clean it up a bit, without sacrificing the team identity. Last night UMass really struggled with their...

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

    Some context on what Poirier's goal pace is at the moment: 20 goal seasons have happened 58 times for the Black Bears, but have been rare since 2000 (just 9 times), with Lynden Breen the most recent in 2022/23. That list narrows down to just 7 times where a player did it before hitting age...

    Hat trick for Nadeau makes it 5-1. Edit: Looks like the other goals was given to Scholle so no hatty...

    Even with the penalties, I'm extremely impressed with how this team has looked through 2 periods. Didn't expect UMass to look this flat at all.

    I especially love that really high camera from the end. I could watch an entire powerplay with it. It's just *chefs kiss*

    Only change to the lines is swapping out Nobes for Usereau as the extra skater. Boija in net tonight.

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

    I'd be happy with a split in this series for sure. Looking at some numbers under the hood on Boija yesterday. His PK save percentage being as low as it is currently says there is some bad luck, likely because Maine's PK is tied for 46th in the nation at 75% right now (compared to 15th at 83%...

    BU really brought the pressure after those two PK's in the third. No reason we should be sweating at all with 7 goals. But even with the clock they couldn't get out of their own way. I'll never complain about a BU sweep though, even if there is still things to clean up.

    Interesting to see Rousseau starting tonight. Hopefully someone takes a run at Boisvert first shift he's on the ice tonight for his post game shenanigans

    Yep thought they really outplayed BU all night, so would have been a shame if they didn't come out with a win. Barr pushed all the right button with the line combos too. Nadeau looked pretty good for a guy coming off a dislocated shoulder. Just having him back to stretch the talent out made a...

    He looked frozen on both goals. I'm a little worried.

    Nobody is that dumb and if they are their opinion should probably be discarded. We are nowhere near that point.

    I was thinking the same thing. Work calendar looks light on Wed so think I'll be able to sneak over to Alfond.
