NoDak @ Maine Oct 22 / 23

Re: NoDak @ Maine Oct 22 / 23

This is the dumbest argument ever. Fine Maine wins, I'm done talking about beauty pageants and crap.
 
Re: NoDak @ Maine Oct 22 / 23

Even if it is meaningless and arbitrary, you need to win at something so you won't be on suicide watch after the whoopings that will occur at the Alfond at the hands of MMFF.

Will they rival the whoopings that Maine put on NoDak at the Ralph?

I don't know about MN, but it seems to me that Nodak was making the FF and the championship game more frequently when they had those elite type players.

How do you classify "elite" players? The Sioux have draft picks from all rounds including a couple first round picks. The Sioux have a couple other players that were preseason All-Americans. The Sioux have the conference rookie of the year, along with a couple guys who could very well be this year's rookie of the year in conference. There are several other players that were All-conference last season.

Oh, and none of those are named Jason Gregoire or Matt Frattin who could very well put up 25-30 goals this season.

But yeah...nobody to worry about ;)

NoDak is obviously a very solid team, but I just don't see the same top end talent that teams of the past had with guys like Lundbohm, Bayda, Goren, Parise, Toews, Panzer, Blake, Stafford, Bochenski, Oshie, etc, who worried the hell out of you every time they touched the puck!

Dirty, I think you need to post your picture of MMFF again!

That was beautiful. Right over the boards, and I think Denis-Papin had about 2 feet on Oshie...

It's also available bar/restaurants that have Directv Ch. 613. Call and ask, if they say yes, tell them you are bringing 10 people to watch the game with you and they will make sure to have it on. Then just hope there are 10 people there watching it with you. Saturday night's game is on WABI-TV.

I was in Wisconsin last year for the HE Finals and called about 40 bars asking if they had NESN. None of them knew what that was so I had to ask them what provider they had and then tell them what channel to look for.

Needless to say, it took only about 5 minutes before people stopped watching UWSP win D-III bouncy ball and started to join me watching my little TV in the corner.

Prediction:
After a tongue lashing from Timmay (is he physically capable of yelling?) da Bears play disciplined, but sissy, hockey for almost two periods. During this time they play alright, but dig a hole. Things get chippy near the end of the second and the emotions carry into the third. Maine starts playing fast and rough and penalties fly. Maine comes back, but not enough.
Fri: 3-4 Sue
The team does well playing to win while keeping out of the box but both goalies stand on their heads. Maine takes it in OT.
Sat: 3-2 Bears
 
Re: NoDak @ Maine Oct 22 / 23

Just had our tickets confirmed through the UND box office, so I'm looking forward to a great weekend of hockey.

Anyone from Maine have any advice on kid friendly places to go and/or eat at in Bangor and Orono? My wife and I are bringing our 3 year old and 4 month old and are looking for something to do on Saturday during the day, as well as good places to eat on Friday night and both meals on Saturday. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks.

Any of the steakhouses around the mall in Bangor are good. Bugaboo Creek, Smokey Bones, Texas Roadhouse. In Orono I suggest Margarita's. It's Texmex but it does have some gringo food. Plus it's so loud i don't think anyone would notice if the 3 month old started screaming. Get the Spider Margarita.

For the toddler's amusement I recommend at least a stop by the Paul Bunyan Statue in Bangor. Great photo-op and besides, it's just cool (44.787942,-68.778319 on Google maps). What you need to do with your Saturday is drive down to Bar Harbor. It's off-season for this little fishing town, but a short drive away is the peak of Cadillac Mountain, the first place in the continental US to see the morning sun. From there you will have a superb view of the colored landscape. There will be lots of rocks for the little brat to climb on and run around so that's good too.

But Simon was a string bean, and the boards only came up to his thigh so how hard is it to pivot him over? The Sioux were really stacked that year as I recall. (But not enough to avoid being SWEPT.)

We also got swept by the likes of Alaska-Anchorage and Michigan Tech that season...so Maine's accomplishment was not all that great.

As far as being "stacked" we're actually ranked higher heading into this series than the last series in 2006 at the Ralph. Maine was also significantly higher ranked going into the 2006 series.

Most people either love or hate eating at Governor's but it's definitely kid friendly. There are even a couple model trains that run along the ceiling. Located near the intersection of Stillwater and College Ave
