2010 Maine offseason: a lazy summer on the Stillwater

Re: 2010 Maine offseason: a lazy summer on the Stillwater

Can someone please tell me what the point of playing some of these Canadian teams really is? All they want to do is fight. Where is the upside for Maine? We take too great a chance of an injury happening in one of these games.

The only plus that I can see is for the pockets of the university. The Alfond was probably 85% full last night which is at least 50% more than they would get for a Blue-White game.

The ref's lost control of the game last night and then started handing out game misconduct penalties for everything.

On the plus side, it's hockey season and I for one am very happy to see Maine on the ice again.

Go Blue!

I actually thought there were several items on the plus side.

We saw how they stacked up against a bigger, more physical team. They got excellent work on the power play and penalty kill, got both goalies some live ice time, etc, etc

More than likely you're right. With what I pay for my 4 season tickets as well as the other 5400 or so people there on Friday and Saturday we should be able to host a game that we don't run the serious risk of injury in due to the "style of play" that was referenced in an earlier post. Leidermark (if memory serves) was wrecked late in the game on a blatant contact to the head call.

No need of it.
