BU beats UNH at UNH which leads me to think Maine will have a hard time getting more than 2 points this weekend. Which really isn't helping them as far as PWR is concerned. Maine has to take it to them friday night if they want to get BU back on there heels

So Northeastern's ****ty attendance is Tim's fault too? Is there anything else you'd like to blame on him? The weather? The Pats' loss? Middle East peace?

I watched the video feed and 2200 is a very generous count. It wasn't pick your own seat it was pick your own section by the looks of things on video.

Hows the Greg Cronin for President campaign going these days?

hockey content?

knee-jerk "nuu uhh, I know you are but what am I?"

hmmmm. Maine used to have a lot of fans following in the team and going to AWAY games.

once again, I will ask... how many Timmy Apologitst WERE AT THIS GAME? (yes singular, you are alone)
or any game in the past month? when was the last time YOU supported the team with any kind of attendance?

Tim Jung-Il really has your mind controlled, doesn't he?

There were actually a pretty solid number of Maine fans at the game, the left side of the arena was pretty filled with fans. Definitely the most fans of any team that's been in Matthews thus far this year.

Next two series are big at home vs BU and away @ UNH...they need wins...badly.
 
Re: Maine Black Bears 2010-2011 - Part Deux

Once again it will be interesting to see who is in goal on Friday night against BU. Maine has three solid goal tenders but no one has established themselves as the "stopper" on a consistent basis. Sullivan may or may not be available. Sirman is undefeated at 3-0-3 and has the highest save percentage at .912. We just might see him in the first game.

I would think Sirman on Friday and Saturday could be Wild-card depending on the showing of the team and Sirman on Friday...as far as solid that is a ye/no...more iffy at this time...I would have expected one of the 3 to have some game stealing forte,but that has been there some but nothing you'd bet the House on....either way this is a big series for both Maine & BU in the fight for Home Ice.
 
Re: Maine Black Bears 2010-2011 - Part Deux

Solid wouldn't be the word to describe Maine goaltending situation IMHO, average at best, would be the words I used. I think Sirman goes Friday. Like to think Maine could get more than 4 points over the next 2 weeks but I doubt it

The goaltending stinks. We need to score atleast 4 to win.

(Maybe global warming?)

Look,I read all your posts;you are my go-to guy especially when it comes to the PW implications of various games down the stretch over the past few years.

Having said that,don't you think that this year's Maine team should have a considerably better record?

I think that this crew is the best Maine has had for years,despite the 'tending being a little loose...And I can't think of any place else to place the blame on their mediocre results than the game-planning,especially when it seems to unravel,late,in close contests.

(Just a comment;not a challenge.)

Looking over their schedule, which games that they lost should they have won? The UNH game was a disappointment, but those things happen (we were ahead of BU 6-2 in the 2nd before the unthinkable happened). They went to Michigan State on their homecoming weekend and earned a tie. They beat North Dakota twice. They've beaten BC, won @PC and @Vermont and tied @BU and @Northeastern. They lost @Merrimack. So did BC and BU (the Warriors went 2-1 vs BC and 1-0-2 against BU, winning both season series). Merrimack's for real, folks, it wasn't a fluke. Their only conference losses are @MC, UNH and the sweep at BC. It isn't like they've lost to the Sisters of the Poor here.

The schedule so far:
UML
UConn
@MSU, @MSU
ND, ND
@UVM
@BU
NE,NE
@BC, @BC
@PC, @PC
NH
UMA
vs Miami
vs Cornell
@MC
PC
BC
@NE

They have 11 wins and five ties. Look over that schedule and tell me where the extra wins are. When the season started, you predicted they would win @MSU or @BC? Really? You thought they'd do better than their usual 1-1 in Florida? Who predicted they'd go to the Gutt and win? Who thought they'd go to Agannis and get a tie? And of course all you optimists predicted they'd sweep the Sioux. :rolleyes:

Read this thread and you'd never guess that they are winning over 60% of their games and recently knocked off the #2 team in the country. But then again, people were complaining when this team was making annual trips to the Frozen Four, so it's not a surprise that people are complaining now.

You should worry more about your team and less about us, TIMMAY!

My guess at the start of the season was that Maine would go: OVERALL REG. Season: 19-12-3.........................In HOCKEY EAST Play: 15-9-3....
