Not able to watch anymore, seems like its calmed down a bit. And although the refs were pathetic, I will at least admit Maine did themselves no favors on most of them.
I can appreciate the position Hockey East is in as far as getting more than one team in the tourney, but this is completely ridiculous. Someone from Maine should table a motion to have refs from another conference ref the tourney so its more neutral. It isn't Maine's fault the conference sucks this year.
Hockey East doesn't suck. There are three teams in already.
Our problem is that Maine sucks, and has sucked for all of Red's tenure.
34 shots, probably 15 blocked shots, 3 pipes, 3 reviewed overturned... frustrating. 70 plus shots in two games for a total of 2 goals. Primeau is about as good as they come, makes tough shots seem routine, steals a couple each game. Reminds me of Jimmy.

I think as a whole Hockey East the last 2-3 years has dropped from where they have been...no more the top Conference....but I agree the Gendron era[error]continues to stink it up. His idea of rough and tough hockey does not jive in todays game....expect the same next season[2019-20].
There wouldn't be three teams in if Maine and BC won their series.
Well, that would have been a function of the completely idiotic tournament-AQ provision.
All 3 HEA teams that are in are in because they had solid seasons. If Maine or BC was in, that would have been on the basis of a weekend, and not on the basis of an entire season.

Again, 3 teams in, and I could see UMass winning it all, and maybe even NU or PC.
The traditional powers have gone backwards, but HEA still has a legit shot at the NC.

Case closed, on any logical level.
I don’t disagree with you at all. I’m just making the point that given the system that is in place Hockey East had a strong incentive to see Northeastern and Providence make it to the semis and basically guarantee a spot in the NCAA tourney. I know there is no big conspiracy but the refs certainly know where things stand.
In any case, on to 2020. How are you and everyone else feeling about next year?

Crosby probably wouldn't even be on BC's top two lines next year
Poll question when Red’s finally let go or retires will he still be 0-for in the quarterfinals or will he have stolen a game someplace?
The state of this program is f-in embarrassing and I really dont want to hear word one othetwise. Win ONE quarterfinal game then tell me about the progress and the positivity. FFs.
Maine Hockey: I want to believe
43-21-4 (.662) in games I attended over 4 years as a student
104-47-14 (.669) in that time 3x FROZEN FOUR
11-20-2 in games I've attended since. (2-2-1 under Red)
