It has been nothing but oversized slow players. But this year there is more of a blend. Starting to get back to playing faster with speed. But not there yet. Next year might be a good speed year. But I like this Fossier and Doherty. Good speedy and crafty kids.

Maine has size and a good goalie huh? Don’t know how far that can take you. Love quick and crafty forwards myself

Averaging <2.5 GPG would seem to put them in No-wheres-ville, but they're certainly in the conversation right now, which is kinda amazing.
If this team is going anywhere, it'll be because of the excellent goal-tending and the very decent D.
They get a bid, they have a shot at the FF. I actually believe that. But the getting-in will the hard part. Maine is only a couple of mis-steps from dropping completely out of the PW picture.Last edited by Fishman'81; 02-10-2020, 08:28 PM.

Originally posted by amkirby10 View PostI don't disagree, but couldn't the same be said of most teams in Maine's neighborhood in the Pairwise? It's very close this year, and an unexpected stumble by any of them can sink their hopes, not just Maine.
This team has benefited greatly from a perfect storm at BC. Maine went from 31 to 15 overnight as a result.
That was 3-card-Monte circumstance, but it could hold up if Maine runs the table, or nearly does.
Peeps, this Maine team isn't any better up-front than the other recent ones. We all know that. It's been about the soft schedule, the general parity, but mostly about Swayman.
Still, if the cards fall, Maine might get a bid, and I'll be in Albany to see them if that happens.Last edited by Fishman'81; 02-10-2020, 10:31 PM.

If Maine does what it should the next four games the Bears could be atop Hockey East on Miracle Day. That doesn't mean they'll win the title - other teams will have multiple games in hand - but home ice is almost guaranteed. But Maine has to beat UConn twice to get there. Two wins in six years...
