Re: Maine

Guess I should have finished watching the game instead of switching to the Celtics after the 1st :) Good win for them, BC looked pretty good in the 1st.
 
Re: Maine

As I've said before, Swayman can carry at team...as last night showed it...especially in the 1st period where he made a half dozen key saves that Maine could have been in the hole 4-0 instead of 2-0...a lot people know he's the key while some think he's just ok...finally he got some help from the offence...4 goals and Maine has a excellent chance of winning games...3 goals and there right in it. They can upset a team in the 1st round with Swayman, getting 3/4 goals and say playing BC again...Maine is in there heads and they could be ripe for a upset if it came down to a #1 vs #8 or if BC slips to #2 and Maine makes it up to #7...would be a interesting series...with imo Maine needing to win game one and really putting the pressure on Yorks Eagles. The key to this series would be Swayman/Offence by Maine/and some discipline big time.
 
Anybody know what Northeastern’s plans are in Portland?

Maybe they’re going to acquire USM? It wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world.

I don't think Maine is in their heads. To me they just thought the game was over after the first. If Maine wins again tonight I might change my tune. But overall I agree that no matter who Maine plays in the playoffs Swayman should give you a good chance to win.

I heard down in Mass they ran into some controversy over their marine research, maybe they're trying to do it in Maine instead now.
 
Re: Maine

Looks like they wanted to build a new marine research center and locals opposed it in Nahant.

UMaine already has a marine research facility in Walpole, damariscotta river, Ira C Darling Marine center. Been there since I was a kid. NU going to compete with UMaine?

Evidently they want a research center. Not sure it is a competition thing.

Wished I knew when on vacay in Boothbay. Could’ve checked it out. That area is gorgeous and anyone gets to live there should be thankful.

I spent a lot of time there(darling center) as a kid, It was just starting at that point. Much different now.

Also, while on the subject the maritime museum in Brunswick is awesome in case anyone is interested.

Umaine has one on Portland's commercial st downtown too. I think its the gulf of Maine research center or something like that.
They are looking to expand the building potentially for lease.

Brunswick or Bath? I did some work at the Bath museum this spring. Got to look around, meant to go back but never got the time. Doing a river cruise/tour from there looked interesting

Yeah sorry, probably Bath. Right near the iron works. We didn’t do the river tour... kind of expensive. But we enjoyed the museum.

My boat tour dollars were spent on a schooner trips of rockland harbor and a commercial lobster cruise out of booth bay. Both in cash, so I knew locals got my money. ;) Fabulous times.
 
So... let’s talk strategy. I wouldn’t mind a trap game for first period. I hope Gendron can align a trap and counter game for first half of the game. Give Swayman some help. Keep it a low score game.
