Re: Maine Hockey '13-14: Are you Red-E?
Maine was miserable on the power play (1-10), due in large part to UVM's tenacious penalty kill. They attacked like it was 5 on 5. Santaguida made some great saves and Ouellette seemed to struggle a bit. Vermont didn't use the neutral zone trap like last night. Maine's passes at times appear to be in slow motion as the puck travels between players and in some cases way too much passing (like in the last couple of minutes of the game). Maine did play hard and they should improve steadily as the season progresses.

Gendron was none too pleased with the team's complacency and lack of urgency.

Classy move by Coz: he could have easily called a QB sneak or two at that point which would likely have yielded a 40-27 final, and made the win look lopsided for the sake of the poll. (Good for him that he didn't; I sometimes think that some of you young fellas on here don't appreciate what a great a job he's done in Orono over the years.)
Certainly wasn't any "easy" game. Maine is quick and athletic on D, but not particularly physical, and they've had some issues dealing with smash-mouth North-to-South running offenses like Albany's this season.
Still, I predict that the Bears steam-roll URI, and have a great shot at UNH... They could finish 11-0 in FCS play and garner home-field throughout the pre-NC PS.
(Anybody see that coming?)

He typically says that after a game. I saw a game last night where Maine played very hard. One of the goals that Vermont scored came off a puck hitting a Maine stick on the ice. Another UVM score was from a bouncing puck in front of the net with both teams fighting for possession (mad scramble). That's part of hockey. Maine didn't execute at times when they needed to, in my opinion it wasn't due to complacency.

TIMMAY-time. You've got the lead, so now play cautious and don't expend too much energy.
Granted there's a lot of new players on this years roster, but it's hard to eliminate some of those tendencies that have been so ingrained into the players over the years. But Red's working hard on changing that mindset, and it'll happen.

They were commenting on the radio that Coz is very respected around the conference because he won't run up the score. He did the same thing against UMass in a 24-14 win when he very easily could have made in 31-14. He is teaching his players that there are things in life more important than style points and opinion polls.
As for a seed and home field...the GPI (BCS for Div. I-AA) has them #3 behind NDSU and Eastern Ill. The Dolphin computer formula has them #1 overall. After the top 2 the computers are all over the place, but Maine is the third-best team by average. Truly a remarkable accomplishment. Gotta beat Rhody and UHN to finish out the season.

I have been impressed with Schurhamer so far. Blocks shots, works hard without the puck, learns quickly from mistakes. He seems to have Red's confidence so I would expect not only to see him stay in the lineup, but perhaps move up to the second defensive pairing. I really think there is a shake up coming for the BU game.

He's doing fine. He scored his first collegiate goal last night.

The two games this past weekend were league games. The next two are out of conference.

He looks real good, especially for a frosh defenseman. Smooth with the puck, makes good decisions. Between him, Hutton, Renouf and this stud shutdown D coming in, Maine's D will be very solid for some years to come.

Don't mean to be critical, as I realize that Gendron is our coach and he can do no wrong. His analysis of last night's game makes no sense to me. He accuses the team of being complacent while having a lead in the second period and that the team thought they had the game won. He also says that's essentially why Maine lost the game. Maine scored first and had a lead for less than 1 minute before Vermont tied the game. Maine never had a lead again as the Cats scored the next three goals.
