I thought I saw him late in the third period. I must have been mistaken. One of the worst leads in hockey (2-0). Just over 7 minutes left in the game and Providence allows Maine to tie the game. Diamond was alone in front of Gillies on Shore's shot which tied the game. Defensive lapse. Lots of credit to Maine for playing tough and never quitting.

They said on the radio that Beattie was bleeding from the nose. Does not sound good with his history of concussions.
Well, Timmay manages to keep his slate perfect at home. Who will be the sorry team associated with Maine's first win at home, or will Whitehead be 0 for the entire Alfond season? I'm sure Walshy could really relate to that.

“I love the way played tonight, no qualms with the effort or execution,” Whitehead said. “I thought we were a little tentative in the first [period], a little nervous, but I thought as the game went on we played with more poise and the hard work was there from the beginning. But the first period, offensively we played a little tentative.”

I dont think Walshy could relate because Timmay to the best of my knowledge doesnt cheat. Doh!

Great comeback last night. Joey has picked up his game, the first short-handed goal was a momentum changer and overall he is focusing on hockey, not all the other negatives and the results speak for themselves. Martin saved our bacon several times, but in my opinion we were outworked most of the game and lost most of the battles. I think the main reason for our record is that we don't play with enough grit. Also, is it just me or do we lose almost every face off? I'd be curious what our stats are for face offs. UML is a hard-working team and we'll have to bring our hard hats if we expect to get two points on Sunday.

Adding to my complaint that there is no link to the audio/video feeds on the front page of the Maine website, I'm going to add a whine about the quality of the video highlights Maine provides to the Hockey East website. Compared to every other team in the league, including Merrimack, it is embarrassing. Even when WABI covers the games. It's 2013. I've heard the excuses that the Alfond can't handle HD cables, or whatever the issue is.
You know what? I don't care. ****ing fix it. I would buy that ridiculously overpriced season video pass if it had any quality at all to it. This isn't 1974. I don't want to watch colored dots moving on a screen. I would, honestly, be okay with another season of TW if they took the money they would spend on buying him out and use it to not be an audio/video embarrassment.

WABI has no way to get the amount of bandwidth needed for HD from Alfond to their studios in Bangor. Do you think they actually make money on a 7 win hockey team with no wins in Orono? I suppose UMaine could pay for the uplink to a satellite but I'm not holding my breath for that. UMaine could also pay for a fiber line to WABI but most of us think they can't afford to buy Timmay let alone pay for 15 miles of Fiber.
On the other hand I agree the picture quality is awful. Northeastern is awesome and its free. Even my limited speed ISP worked for NUs feed. I'm not sure why couldn't have better in house cameras or why their feed over the internet couldn't be HD, that's got nothing to do with WABI. Its not like HD cameras are mega bucks

This is because Whitehead doesn't care. He's just collecting a paycheck.

Re: Maine 2012-13 Part 3D: Still digging
That's what I'm saying. It is part and parcel with the horrible way the entire athletic department is run. The budget is a shoestring, I understand, but the off the field out put is sub-D3 level. The website is a joke, you can't find anything on there. The internet feeds are terrible, anyone who is buying them is a complete sucker. If WABI can't come up with an HD truck, don't let them broadcast the games. It kills attendance anyways, and when WPME in Portland picks up WABI's crap feed and makes it even crappier, it seriously looks 1982 quality.
Division I athletics takes a certain level of commitment, and the University of Maine isn't putting it forward in any way. I realize this is Maine, and I should temper my expectations, but god****. Take some pride in your work product.

More like his hockey career is over. 3rd in a year. At some point you don't recover. He's a young man with his whole life ahead of him. Stay off the ice. It's not worth it.
