Dont look now (and not that it matters really at this point in the season), but we are up to 6 in the Pairwise

Right behind Lowell, of all things. (thanks, Riverhawks, for last night). Will Nieto play tonite?

In retrospect, it looks like the only really awful loss we've had this season was the HC game. With the way things have panned out for Lowell and Providence, they clearly have been better than originally anticipated...(granted 7-1 was still embarrassing).

Anyone here making the trek to South Bend? It's a dream of mine to sing Auld Lang Syne with Jack Parker on New Years Eve in South Bend Indiana. This might be the eyar.

I was going to but the combination of break and the proximity to hoidays made it impossible to find a group of students to make the trek. I dont know how I'll handle not being at a game.

Doesn't matter as it will change a million times, however I think there have been enough games played to talk about it. Number 6 in the Pairwise and yet the fourth team in HEA in the Pairwise! Need a W up in Maine to wrap up the early season.

Was thinking about it, but New Years Eve makes it tough for me.

I'll be visiting family not far from South Bend. But the New Years Eve deal makes it tough for me as well. Not to mention tickets are probably more or less gone by now.

Like that line Mook, and I agree with you. I usually say, "Don't get a bad case of happy ears now". Or "don't start drinking your own cool-aid just yet". If I remember all the talk here last March, all the Parkerites were saying this team "should be good". Still over 3 months to go.

Only 1 team in recent memory has played consistently throughout the season...so we have that going for us

Only caught third period but it was a heck of a 20 minutes.

I like Cisse, a frequent flyer in the penalty box but seems to see the ice as well as anybody

Some of the passing in the third made me think this team is improving in playing together and the speed of play will continue to be high if they can work as effectively going forward

Agreed with this, especially since I still get sick to my stomach when I think about the HC and UML losses. Hope they can keep things going in the 2nd half, soooo much hockey left to be played.

Easy, now. They only beat the eventual 8th or 9th place team. It's like beating Merrimack or Lowell 3 or 4 years ago. Maine will be in the basement until Whitehead's gone

To pick something that drove me nuts from last night's game....

Rodrigues (who I like very much) was busy celebrating his non-goal with his stick in the air. If he kept his stick on the ice then he taps that in easily.

It was a close game at that point and could have been a game changer.

I thought about this too, and I'm sure he'll hear it from Parker or a captain. The good news is that I thought he looked phenomenal out there. He had that one slick move where he was in the slot, received a pass from the point, tipped to himself while spinning around, he just missed the net. I though both he and Hohmann had one of their best games of the year. I don't want to see either of those guys sit in favor of Gaudet or Rosen anymore.

Also good to see Privitera get his first. Pretty slick backhander to boot.

Made the same comment to my son at the time, if he isn't celebrating he beats the Maine player to the puck and likely scores. I'd like to think a captain/upperclassmen says something to him before the coach does.

There won't be a question about who sits the next two games with Coyle at the WJCs. After that, I'd expect Gaudet might be the odd man out. Agreed on Hohmann, who is certainly displaying the vision and playmaking we'd heard about. His set up of Privitera's goal was a case in point. Occupied two men with his rush and then put the puck on Privitera's tape with just one guy to beat.

You think JP is lobbying for Clendening to make Team USA's final WJC roster?

“Clendening sees everybody all the time, so if you play with him, you better be alert because he’s like Bob Cousy out there,” Parker said. “You better be awake because if you aren’t, you’ll get hit by the ball. He can really find people. He’s having a terrific year.”
