BU >> Hot for Maine

Re: BU >> Hot for Maine

Hate to miss this weekends game, but the wife and I are getting away to Miami for 5 days, sans children.

I am going to have to rely on my son to text me updates when he listens to the game on the radio. Should be a good early season test between two good teams. I expect Sullivan to start in goal and this will provide another early season test in a hostile environment, which he seemed to handle pretty good on Sat night. Go BLUE!!

BU 16, Maine -2

Re: BU >> Hot for Maine

A thing to consider is that Maine only had one game this past weekend and from what I heard...looked a little flat. You come off a HUGE North Dakota sweep....have to wait until Saturday to play your hangover game, come out flat, then have to wait until next Saturday to play again....I mean, it's hard to take that momentum and turn it into rhythm with such little game time.

I love that the excuses and sandbagging is cranked up to 11 the Monday before the game. You guys are the antithesis of the Pinheads.

BU isn't going undefeated. BU isn't playing well at home. Maine is good. I smell a two goal loss.

In some places, leaving the kids alone for 5 days while you go to Miami is considered a bad idea. Stoke up the woodstove, bring some venison in from the larder, leave $10 for the plow guy and leave the shotgun loaded on the kitchen table....they'll be fine.

Re: BU >> Hot for Maine

BU has got a great team, and Maine is getting way ahead of themselves. BU 4 and Maine 2. But never fear, Maine/s season is not over.

What the heck does this even mean? They are getting ahead of themselves by winning games?

This thread is well on it's way to an epic win.

TIMMAY!

I think it means that TIMMAY shook up the lines in hopes it would create a loss, yet we won anyway and therefore have gotten ahead of ourselves.

If Benedetto gets the game, and BU shows up in their alternate alternate, North Dakota style unis, then Maine might have a chance. Might.

Re: BU >> Hot for Maine

I'd have to really check out the roster to see if there was anyone to be hot for.

Any of you chuckleheads making the trip to the big city for this match up??

I was looking at it, but no way am I paying the extortion that Ticketmaster charges.

Well done. My father is staying with the kids.

From the BDN: "Maine had a 42-25 edge in shots on goal despite receiving three fewer power-play chances. Maine attempted 80 shots to UVM's 47 but the Catamounts blocked 27 shots. Maine had 34 Grade-A (high-percentage) scoring chances to UVM's 17."

I watched the web feed, and they didn't look flat to me. There wasn't nearly as much open ice up in Burlington as there was against NoDak, but I think that can be attributed to Vermont's style of play. Also, Madore was great.

That's ridiculous. We get shot charts every game and I don't think I've seen 30+ grade-A's once in the 50-something games I've covered.
