I also think once in a while, we all sling mud at Red, but never the assistants. This is aweful to say but just thinking what if changes were made there. Not saying I'm a Red fan but....

What smaller rink are you talking about?? The Matthews Arena ice surface is 90’x200’. That’s 5’ WIDER than your rink. The extra width is there to force your “new built defense “ to skate a bit further when they feel that they want to hit someone.

Originally posted by amkirby10 View PostVMT is awful, but Maine only has 8 defensemen on their entire team (9 if you count Bruneski as a defenseman), and 7 play every game. If Perry Winfree is worse than VMT I'm nervous to see him play, but Red is prone to choosing favorites so maybe VMT has found himself in Red's good graces.

Come to Matthews this weekend. Bring a tape measure. I’ll show you how to use it.

Re: Maine Black Bears 2019-20: Seeing Red
Didnt NU do an upgrade to their rink many years ago? It may have been smaller 15 or 20 years but its bigger than Alfond now.
On the road against a better team should be a good test for Maine. Both games on tv I believe.

No 18 can't pass very well.
I thought Fossier wasn't up to his STDs Saturday.

Re: Maine Black Bears 2019-20: Seeing Red
Both teams have to adjust on any surface they play on, NU has home ice and knows the boards/ice etc. Maine will adjust as game goes on. Bottom line this is a Swayman series (again)...how he plays will dictate how Maine fares...Maine has to go in like they have so far, they know they are not the most talented team...they know it will be a all team effort in playing defense (blocking shots/clogging the center ice and winning the lose puck battles) and some how find some scoring...again another game that who scores 3 goals will have a legit chance at winning.

Re: Maine Black Bears 2019-20: Seeing Red
Maine has one more win than NU in the same number of games, and they have identical GF/GA numbers. However, Maine has played a much tougher schedule according to RPI. I'm interested to see how the weekend goes.

BlackI - Apology accepted, of course. Get in touch with me if you would like a tour of Matthews before the game on Friday. We should have an interesting conversation. Maine is my second favorite place, as I have a house in Lyman on a pond full of compliant bass and a few trout.Last edited by HHound; 11-19-2019, 02:30 PM.
