Re: Maine Hockey 2014-2015
Indeed! Tough competition the last two series, and they fared reasonably well. It doesn't get any easier the next two series.
Quite a stretch for UMaine Women's Hockey in the #1 spot in Hockey East!

Any coverage on video or radio streaming for the Maine vs BU games, not able to get to the games.

Yes, they should be streaming. Check the team's web site. I hope you were able to catch this weekend's series. Maine played some good hockey.

Congratulations on a big win. But Maine is NOT the first to vanquish BU this season.
Further note, Poulin was present for the October 4 game.
Maine seizes the Championship Belt.
Saturday, October 4: Minnesota 5, Boston U 2.

Whoops. Meant to say first HE lost. Didn't mean to take away any of Minnesota's glory.

Re: Maine Hockey 2014-2015
You bet it was. I was impressed with the play both games vs BU. Friday's score didn't reflect the effort on Maine's part, but Saturday's definitely did. Much improvement compared to last year, and even compared to last week at QU. Let's hope this trend continues. Good to see some Maine-iaks in the student section really getting in to the game.

You have to be impressed with the start of this program. Are results coming from coaching, players buying into a system and general Team Play or what is the difference? Congratulations on a great start!

Re: Maine Hockey 2014-2015
Let's not make this into more than it is...
Yes it was a fantastic win over BU, even if Poulin didn't play. But they were also shut out in 5 of the 6 previous games and to this point in the season have been shut out in more than half of their games.
They are giving up a lot (too many) shots, but they are also getting phenomenal goaltending right now. However, they are not scoring goals, and that is something they need to figure out because if the goaltending takes a step or two back, they are going to have a tough time getting points when they are producing 0, 1, even 2 goals per game.

Can we make more of it now that the Black Bears knocked off Northeastern 1-0 on the road?

It's a great win, but remember that NU are without Coyne and Savage because of the Four Nations. Nevertheless, good victory.

Agree that UMaine still has deficiencies in the scoring department. And effort is inconsistent. Maine played poorly in Friday's game vs UConn was--it seemed like they made more direct passes to the Huskies than to their own team mates. They need some serious improvement in that area.
If we're talking about who's missing from NU, I'd also note that Maine was without the services of Jen More both for the late 3rd period rally vs BU last weekend (she got concussed earlier in the 3rd), and both of this weekend's games vs UConn & NU. So NU was missing a couple studs, and UMaine was missing a leading scorer and team leader / capitan.
Not making too much of their record now, but both the record and the level of play (mostly) is a vast improvement over last year's start.
Hurry, Coach Ricky! Sign some Olympians while we're still #1 in Hockey East standings!

Re: Maine Hockey 2014-2015
Maine has commitments from two Canadian National team players. Interesting connection to NHL for defenseman Alyson Matteau. Her father played huge roll in Stanley Cup title for New York Rangers in their win over New Jersey Devils. The other player signing national letter of intent to play at Maine is goal tender Carly Jackson.
