RPI @ Maine (10/7/16 & 10/8/16)

Re: RPI @ Maine (10/7/16 & 10/8/16)

I don't know a whole lot about RPI but it I'm going to predict a split, which I think would suit both teams decently enough. I will go with Maine winning 4-2 Friday and RPI winning 3-1 Saturday. It's exciting that Maine will be playing some home games before the middle of November this year.

I would agree with you, but it this point in the season I am more optimistic for RPI and hope for a sweep for RPI especially with the only comparison that I can use is that RPI did better than FF participant QU in their exhibition games against the same Canadian team, McGill.

Don't trust Exhibition hockey. With that said Maine can't play like they did versus SFX with too many penalty's. Toss up this weekend with a split a good call.

Most games over the weekend against Canadian schools had too many penalties including RPI's.

I'd also predict a split, although winners the other way around. 1-0-1 is achievable, a sweep would be surprisingly good. Certainly more optimistic than last year, where I thought we had a solid chance of starting out 0-5 (ended up 1-4).

Considering making this trip. Looks like there's plenty of stuff to do in Bangor, and maybe a couple options in Orono for post-game fun? Any tips from the locals? I'm into Brewpubs, beer bars, non-dive sports bars, hipster cocktail places, etc.

Try Woodmans in Orono. They have good food and make their own beer across the street from the restuarant.

New to the board, but I have been Lurking for too many years! RHamilton you should try the Orono Beer Company! They have a location in Orono and Bangor, just for brewski's though. They don't offer much for food. The beer is top notch, especially if you like I.P.A.!
As for hockey, it can't be worse than last year!

Don't come to Orono without going to Pats Pizza, its been there since the 30s and so has grease thats all over the place. Best place for a beer and a pizza around. Its the place every alum goes to when they come back to orono

And yet there were 57 penalty minutes called in a non-exhibition game between Army and Colgate last Saturday!
