Re: Maine Black Bears, 2010-2011, Redemption or FORE, I say......
just plain... "none of that matters, if Tim cannot allow someone to coach defense
the ONLY defender who hit anyone last night got called for interference... (his first hip check of his career and he does it to a guy who never had the puck).
Merrimack hit harder, cross checked anyone near the crease or near the puck in the corners, TOOK MORE PENALTIES for it, and allowed fewer goals than they scored.
very often penalties that put fear into the opponent or prevent goals are GOOD penalties... and besides, the dam officials are gonna call almost exactly as many on one team as the other, so Maine might as well interfere, hit and hook.
A wise white-haired Orono hockey mind told me about 5 years ago that it was an end of an era and that the ship was sinking and I held out hope.... the era ended back then, not this weekend.
