Maine Black Bears 2020: The Hunt For Red October

Re: Maine Black Bears 2020: The Hunt For Red October

A few games went sideways so Maine will finish the night 18th in the pairwise. UMA scored two late to defeat Lowell so Maine will be 3rd in Hockey East. The only way Maine can finish behind Providence now is to lose both remaining games so both have 25 points.

He doesn't exist, just a bot. Chill.

Have they developed the technology to make drunken/unintelligible bots?

wow, Merrimack swept Providence. UConn beat BU.

Providence is officially reeling. Hopefully Maine can take advantage.

Re: Maine Black Bears 2020: The Hunt For Red October

The last 5 minute major committed by Butala put him out of the game. I thought I heard the announcer at Alfond say that it was a game disqualification. Was that reported on Nesn as well? If so he won't play the next game against Providence.

I just checked the box score and it was a game misconduct.

So, Maine has a shot.

I'd go to Albany or Worcester to see that, even if the AD gives Red a lifetime extension just for getting a sniff.

That's how bad things have gotten.

Thats too bad, he deserves a seat for a game. Anyone ever remember a player taking 2 majors in one game? Especially when a fight wasnt involved?

Re: Maine Black Bears 2020: The Hunt For Red October

I went to my second and final game of the season last night. Very good attendance at around 4900. Raucous fans and student section pregame. That was the most excitement the entire evening. Maine's passing was off the mark and when the puck was there it was mishandled. Vermont doesn't have any highly skilled players and neither does Maine in my opinion. Hard to believe Maine scored 6 goals the night before. Both teams play good defense in front of good goal tending. Swayman met his match last night in Lekkas.

I don't remember either Joey Diamond or Preston Ryan achieving that.

I agree, the passing stopped so many rushes its unreal, behind the player all night. Vermont clogged the neutral zone, all 5 guys, waiting for a mistake and got some odd man rushes out of it. Swayman made the saves though. Other than the goalies wasn't a whole lot of skill displayed

Had Maine swept UC and UVM they would be in first place and have clinched a playoff spot, with home ice virtually assured. Instead they gave away three points and are now squarely in the middle of the pack.

Maine can still get home ice but it'll be much more difficult.

I watched almost the entire game last night and came away unimpressed. Didnt see much talent on either team. Hard to imagine these guys will do much of anything in the post season. Just dont have that one guy that can take over a game if needed, other than possibly Swayman......but he is the one you want most to do that job if anyone, so who knows.

I mean there really is no good reason to sugar coat their chances.
