Rutt's penalty was a pointless Joey-moment, and could easily have been a 5-minute major; the game could've been lost right there. I was so happy to see him benched after that one. (As SW once said to a player within my earshot: "Either you'll learn, or you won't play.")
Jake's brain-spasm aside, what an effort by Maine. As Wally said, the ice was definitely tilted for a span, but Marty bailed them out then, and the Bears got their game back in time to take it home.
I don't attend/watch a Maine game anymore while expecting them to eventually screw the pooch... What a big-time improvement over last year in that regard. This team plays as though they expect to win, and that's very refreshing to see.
