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.

Makes sense to me. Appears to me that's what he was pizzed about. Maine's complacency in the 2nd allowed VT to score the next three goals.

The Black Bears fell into complacency after taking the lead, according to Gendron. "We thought we had it won. That's how we played for the rest of the second period, and that's essentially how the game was lost.

The Black Bears had a few near misses, but couldn't complete the comeback. "In the third period we played our tails off, but it wasn't enough," said Gendron.

Gendron felt that his team could have won the game, but it took too long to put the afterburners on. "We needed to push back in the second period. If we had pushed back in the second we might have won this game, but we waited too late."

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.

"Remarkable accomplishment" for sure, and a really fun team to watch.

I looked-up your references, and it's hard to imagine that they won't get a great seed with a split of their remaining games.

(Not too worried about URI, but truly geeked about the prospect of showing UNH the door... Might even travel to see that one.)

Makes all the sense in the world to me. What is it you dont understand here? Maine let off the pedal after getting up a goal....way , way too early when facing a very hungry UVM opponent. If anything the Bears needed to punch it harder after that first goal. Letting up after the first one was Timmay hockey. That goal the kid scored by walking the puck out of the corner and tucking it under Ouellette should never, never, never happen. The first guy out of any corner has to be the D...cardinal rule of hockey.

Hey Mainers, just curious, how has Schurhammer looked so far this season?

After scoring his first goal as a Bear, a woman who was standing on the west side of the area went ballistic throwing her hands toward heaven while clutching a bag of Bear Necessities goodies and screaming loud enough to be heard back in Gopher land. She turned quickly around looking for someone to hug and grabbed “Firecracker” Damon, the husband of Cherrie Damon, FOMH president. I’m willing to bet it was his MOM! Eric’s play has been very solid and I would agree with all the below comments.

Maine lost an NCAA record over the weekend:

Not quite. The National Communist Athletic Association is continuing its agenda of eliminating gender distinction, this time by merging records for men's and women's ice hockey. The record set for women for most penalty minutes is higher than the record for total number of penalty minutes for men's ice hockey, which Maine and Boston University still own.

I would submit that UVM was the complacent team. At the 8:45 mark of the 3rd period, UVM had a 4-1 lead and allowed Maine to score two goals.

They did it against SLU too, they tied the game up 2-2 early in the third, SLU scored to take the lead back, and then scored again right away as the Black Bears just weren't prepared for the increased intensity that SLU brought to them.

Can't let off, gotta be ready to play hard for a full sixty minutes. That was one of the hallmarks of TIMMAY's team, they rarely, if ever, put a complete sixty minutes together, taking whole periods or even entire games off. Red's not gonna stand for that, and he's gonna let them know when he sees it.

And they may well have been. I'm sure their coach wasn't too happy about that either, and let them know it.

Obviously you do, but I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that Maine's coach could care less about Vermont's problems. Just sayin'.

Only one team can be complacent during a game? Who knew?

Sounds like your still butt hurt about timmay? I don't understand what is hard about understanding what he said.
 
Re: Maine Hockey '13-14: Are you Red-E?

Why would anyone other than the Whitehead family be sad to see TIMMAY go?

It's true. I keep waiting for them to have a hiccup and they haven't. I feel like if any CAA team not named Maine had 1 loss by 2 scores to Northwestern they'd be in the top 3 in the Sports Network poll but I guess that doesn't matter. It is criminal that Wash isn't on the Walter Payton list by now.
 
Re: Maine Hockey '13-14: Are you Red-E?

No kidding... If Villanova or UNH (for instance) had done what Maine has done this year, those teams would have been ranked no lower than #2 for most of this season.

Apparently there is a lot more objectivity in the actual NCAA selection process than exists in the silly polls, and I do expect Maine to get a great seed if they win-out, or even if they split... Seeded at home in balmy Orono, they're going to be a very tough out.

While I think that NDS is the class of the FCS by a discernible margin, Maine is certainly within shouting-distance, and I can't wait to see what this team can accomplish while opening the playbook in a one-and-done format.
