HE Quarterfinal: Maine vs. Merrimack Game 1 Go Big Or Go Home

Re: HE Quarterfinal: Maine vs. Merrimack Game 1 Go Big Or Go Home

Hope Whitehead isn't doing his Penrose thing...

The NBC sports broadcast of BC-Mass is really nice.

I'd weigh in on some of the more controversial plays, but the combination of herky-jerk camera action and SD makes it pointless. The blob that was Swavely appeared to have a chance to avoid hitting the head of the blob that was the MC skater. He may have ducked, but it didn't appear to be a last-second sort of thing. It looked like Swavely knew where he was going to hit him. Unless my sense of time is gone, too.

Anyway, whatever. Need to solve Cannata.

I gotta say... wtih head contact, I am pretty glad the officials do not see it your way "in a playoff game"

Id have to see it again, but the guy was tangled with Leidermark and off balance and that contributed. It didn't look like a Rome-Horton head hunting situation.

Dude lowered his head and changed the point of contact from his shoulder to his head.

KIA and I are in agreement. Have seen to many head shots and that was a head shot. Deserved a 5 minute major. However Maine aside from that one shot looked good in the 1st, but Cannata is a great tender, you have to get bodies in front and score ugly goals! Hopefully they do that in the 2nd, and Bigos played Joey perfect on that no penalty. No complaints about the officials, but MC is trying to get Maine to retaliate and we have to stay away from that.

Now a penalty to start the 2nd! Bad start.

Another penalty on Maine. Merrimack's inability to skate (or do anything but act like *****s after the whistle) really contributes to drawing penalties.

That's *Salem* State for Will's dad, Bob, not Boston State. Eesh.

Yes, after seeing 2 replays, it was clearly unintentional, and no elbow. 5 was too much, but no sympathy from Bunyon.
 
Re: HE Quarterfinal: Maine vs. Merrimack Game 1 Go Big Or Go Home

So Maine has scored 1 goal in its last 4 periods of hockey at Alfond........NICE!:rolleyes:
 
Re: HE Quarterfinal: Maine vs. Merrimack Game 1 Go Big Or Go Home

Ah, crap. I was just going to type something, and I missed the penalty on O'Neill.

Hopefully they call it tight the rest of the way. Maine's best bet might be to hope that their PP is stronger than their PK is weak.
 
Re: HE Quarterfinal: Maine vs. Merrimack Game 1 Go Big Or Go Home

Heyyyy a Merrimack penalty.
 
Re: HE Quarterfinal: Maine vs. Merrimack Game 1 Go Big Or Go Home

Feels like either Maine scores 3-4 in a hurry or gets shut out. :mad:
 
Re: HE Quarterfinal: Maine vs. Merrimack Game 1 Go Big Or Go Home

Can't fault Maine's effort on this PP. **** good chances...
 
Re: HE Quarterfinal: Maine vs. Merrimack Game 1 Go Big Or Go Home

Is the MC broadcast in HD on other stations?

I can't count how many times the cameraman has let the puck go off the side of the screen, and let it stay there for 5-10 seconds before adjusting.

Trying to give the benefit of the doubt . . .
 
Re: HE Quarterfinal: Maine vs. Merrimack Game 1 Go Big Or Go Home

More after the whistle crap. WABI has no clue who got called for what.
 
Re: HE Quarterfinal: Maine vs. Merrimack Game 1 Go Big Or Go Home

I'm all for matching minors to calm things down but again handing 4 to Mangene and the 'Mack guy seems excessive. 2 sends the message.
 
Re: HE Quarterfinal: Maine vs. Merrimack Game 1 Go Big Or Go Home

More after the whistle crap. WABI has no clue who got called for what.

Mangene: 2 roughing, 2 hitting after whistle
Kolomatis: 2 roughing, 2 hitting after whistle
Diamond: 2 hitting after whistle
Myers: 2 hitting after whistle

From Hockey East scoreboard...Shots now 19-12 Maine
 
Re: HE Quarterfinal: Maine vs. Merrimack Game 1 Go Big Or Go Home

It's also Pinkerton Academy, not Pinkerton High - I'm sure some people would take offense to that also.

That's *Salem* State for Will's dad, Bob, not Boston State. Eesh.
 
Re: HE Quarterfinal: Maine vs. Merrimack Game 1 Go Big Or Go Home

Diamond! 1-1 on a breakaway!
