Re: Maine Black Bears 2020: The Hunt For Red October

The last 5 minute major committed by Butala put him out of the game. I thought I heard the announcer at Alfond say that it was a game disqualification. Was that reported on Nesn as well? If so he won't play the next game against Providence.

I just checked the box score and it was a game misconduct.

So, Maine has a shot.

I'd go to Albany or Worcester to see that, even if the AD gives Red a lifetime extension just for getting a sniff.

That's how bad things have gotten.

Thats too bad, he deserves a seat for a game. Anyone ever remember a player taking 2 majors in one game? Especially when a fight wasnt involved?

Re: Maine Black Bears 2020: The Hunt For Red October

I went to my second and final game of the season last night. Very good attendance at around 4900. Raucous fans and student section pregame. That was the most excitement the entire evening. Maine's passing was off the mark and when the puck was there it was mishandled. Vermont doesn't have any highly skilled players and neither does Maine in my opinion. Hard to believe Maine scored 6 goals the night before.:confused: Both teams play good defense in front of good goal tending. Swayman met his match last night in Lekkas.

I don't remember either Joey Diamond or Preston Ryan achieving that.

I agree, the passing stopped so many rushes its unreal, behind the player all night. Vermont clogged the neutral zone, all 5 guys, waiting for a mistake and got some odd man rushes out of it. Swayman made the saves though. Other than the goalies wasn't a whole lot of skill displayed

Had Maine swept UC and UVM they would be in first place and have clinched a playoff spot, with home ice virtually assured. Instead they gave away three points and are now squarely in the middle of the pack.

Maine can still get home ice but it'll be much more difficult.

I watched almost the entire game last night and came away unimpressed. Didnt see much talent on either team. Hard to imagine these guys will do much of anything in the post season. Just dont have that one guy that can take over a game if needed, other than possibly Swayman......but he is the one you want most to do that job if anyone, so who knows.

I mean there really is no good reason to sugar coat their chances.

It was contact to the head. HEA will review it but most likely he will be ok for next game. Unless it was really aggressive, I don’t think they will suspend anyone heading to playoffs.

Five? They lost to UConn and tied Vermont.

Oh, you're including the Game @UConn. Yes, that was very winnable. I was just referring to the last two weekends at home.

As nice as this season has been the multitude of wasted wins will haunt this team.

Providence is "reeling" . :eek: One would think Maine is playing two games against them at the right time. However, Maine's record against Providence is not good. Hard for me to go against a Leaman team.;)

1-16 under Red. I believe the losing streak reached a record 17 games before last year's win. I don't have the records handy, but I think Whitehead was competitive with Providence. It has been since 2012 that PC has dominated the series.
 
Re: Maine Black Bears 2020: The Hunt For Red October

If Maine loses at Alfond Arena against Providence it will be Maine's first loss of the year at home. Obviously, a very good home record but with the losses on the road it just doesn't seem like Maine is as good as their standing indicates. Actually, I guess you could say that about most HE teams this year.
