#5 Maine vs #4Merrimack HEA quarterfinals

Re: #5 Maine vs #4Merrimack HEA quarterfinals

Should be a tough series...what Maine team shows up and whats up with Cannata the last 3 out of 4 games...Maine needs Sullivan to stay hot,power-play has to keep clicking and play simple team d for 60:00....Merrimack is at home and that should be a big positive,plus if Cannata is Cannata then this will go 3 games with a O.T. or two to spice it up. imo

Maine in three. Should be the best quarterfinal matchup in the country.
 
Re: #5 Maine vs #4Merrimack HEA quarterfinals

MC in a blow out game one 5-1, MC wins game two 4-2 with an empty netter. MC in 2 games.

I'll be at Fridays game and I agree about this being best QF games. I wish I could go Saturday too but my buddy got us tix to the UNH game.
This will be a very tough matchup for MC but I think they'll be moving on.
 
Re: #5 Maine vs #4Merrimack HEA quarterfinals

I think this boils down to Cannata. That article in the Eagle Tribune stating that he deserves the Hobey might have gotten into his head.
It was right after that article that he became a completely different player.

Blaine Lacher was a great goalie until he started doubting himself, then he sold cars.

Exactly. Thats the big question can this team play a full 60 minutes. Also, Maine needs to abstain from Merrimacks after the whistle antics.
 
Re: #5 Maine vs #4Merrimack HEA quarterfinals

This is probably the best matchup in the quarter-finals. The Commissioner was in the NESN booth today for the WHEA Championship and said, "this is one of the most fascinating matchups" in the quarter-finals", with DaCosta and Nyquist going head to head and each team defeating each other by 7 - 1 scores. He has assigned himself to this series.
 
Re: #5 Maine vs #4Merrimack HEA quarterfinals

MC wins it all in one. Dont needthe second game. Bigos eats Nyquist, blood everywhere.

You're getting soft.

Purcell and Sweetland return to Orono to screw Whitehead one last time. They bribe Cyr Bus Lines to drive to New Brunswick by mistake. Border officials find Falco hiding in in the cargo hold, with a duffel bag full of weed, and the entire team spends the weekend in a holding cell.


Merrimack in 0.

I disagree with that... the annoying crap is what gets Maine to slash sticks out of opponent's hands... Maine has to do the same annoying stuff as Merrimack and not let Merrimack get into their heads. the worst that will happen is matching minors. maine needs to keep getting matching minors between Shemansky and Cucci and then Barton and Cornell...

Dee and Banwell got called at UMass for retaliating for annoying crap... they just could not take any more, so they sent UMass sticks flying... Bunyon only sees the relatilation, not what caused it.... so only Maine goes to the box

Soft my azz.

Did I mention that Bigos rips Nyquists arms out their sockets one by one and is caught behind the net gnawing on each. Ross wastes no time in ripping Gus's head off and chitting down his neck, laughing all the while. Tim continues chewing bazooka in disbelief.

Marshall and Mushaluck, aka the m&m brothers, sent on the ice, though ineligible (so who cares?), to restore order. From the bench, Ryan chops their legs out from under them. Metcalf laughs.

What is up with Diamond and Beattie?

Diamond is already in the box, After getting an embelishment call when his head fell off from a Bigos cross check, Diamond told Lil Bunyon Mcbride was a better ref than his dad. Beattie is fine
 
Re: #5 Maine vs #4Merrimack HEA quarterfinals

For Maine fans who can't make it (gasoline prices $3.50+/gallon among other conflicts), Saturday night's game is on NESN at 7:30.

No no no. Bigos doesn't like Swedish food. Diamond (32-102) leaps up and head-butts Bigos (31-89) in the groin. Bigos gets a major for "Being too tall".

I see your point but those matching minors end up being 10 minute misconducts after awhile.

who would you trade matching misconducts for DaCosta?
and there is no way even Bunyon will do that in a playoff game... heck, he treated the saturday night game at Amherst like a playoff game, not calling anything

I disagree with that... The team who stays discipline will win the series, plain and simple. Cut the bs after the whistle in front of net and just play. I am all for getting into the opponents head but do that during play.
