Yeah, the B's waited to send the postponement email until 3:45. Of course, we left at 2:00 and didn't get the email until we parked. Oh we'll, at least we had a great meal in the North End.

Sounds like an adventure to say the least, but it's too bad they waited so long to cancel the game.

On another note, it's nice this Maine game is on the web for free.

Par for the course for all things Massachusetts, though. The roads were fine. From here to there. Slow down a little bit, but they were clear. You could tell that it hadn't been snowing for hours in Boston by how much work had been done clearing roads and parking lots. No reason from a driving point of view to postpone the game. And if they were going to do it, they had all the available info to do it by noon.

A game like this one just goes to show you what a fluke the BC weekend was. Fire Timmay
 
Re: Maine 2012-13 Part 3D: Still digging

Just when you thought they might go on a run......... What a disappointing game. :(

The NSN feed wasn't too bad. Not HD but certainly viewable. Unfortunately, from my perspective the game didn't match the quality of the broadcast.:(:( No PP presence against a good Vermont defense. Not sure what Ouellette was thinking when he literally gave the puck to McCarthy (I think), for the 3rd goal. Maine had opportunities to score in the first period and couldn't.

they certainly did have all info to do it.

The Governor used some sort of civil emergency power and declared that it would be illegal for most people to be on state roads until 4pm yesterday. (I am not sure what that means... i.e. is interstate 93 one of them, or only state routes?) Anyone driving on state roads would face jail or a $500 fine.... so I would guess that most people decided not to risk the ticket.

"most people" does not include police or fire, or oil delivery guys... and also did not include people who worked at food shops or for the media.
very strange when the law that was intended to protect us from foreign invasion is used for snow

Typical TIMMAY-coached team though. Suck balls for most of the season, get a convincing win or two against superior opponents when you had no business doing so, and then straight back to sucking balls against teams you should beat.

...But anybody who remembers the Blizzard of '78 will well remember the photos of cars snowed in for great stretches along highways ("Rte. 128 is a parking lot") impeding snow removal and creating public safety concerns. Except for those folks who had to be out and about during this most recent storm, any drivers who were out on the roads were irresponsible in most cases. That said, I agree -- and would say further that the game should have been originally postponed to another date, rather than later in the day.

...and then surprise everyone in the HE 1/4s and semis, make it to the HE championship game, and lose to the eventual NCAA champs.

The fact that BC had to move its leading goal scorer to defense that weekend just to be able to skate 5 guys back there definitely didn't help their cause. The team was clearly out of sync that weekend but still surprised Maine beat them handily.

Uh uh! This is the Maine thread. Excuses about injuries aren't allowed!
 
Re: Maine 2012-13 Part 3D: Still digging

TIMMAY continuing to set all-time records at UMaine, seventh time this season they've been shut out. Not even Semler could claim that.
