Saw someone on Yahoo saying Maine will be below .500 by the end of December. Maine will be above .500 at the end of December. If you remember last year against UND Maine was horribly outplayed, the shots were in the 40’s for UND and in the teens for Maine, and Rob had a hot game which is why they tied. This year Rob has had a hot 4 games, and although he was a big part of it, he was far from the sole reason they won those first three. Maine outplayed RPI Friday no question about it the game was over halfway through. Saturday their age showed when they were losing going into the third, but a rally led them to victory as they dominated the third period because essentially they had to. Also both of RPI goals were shorthanded, and even with the crazy amount of power plays they had they didn’t score one power play goal which special teams wise is appalling but 5 on 5 wise is impressive against a Decent RPI team. Friday against Quinnipiac the ref’s were awful there were 20 penalties called, which for a Maine team that has struggled to find its special teams identity should not have boded well. Maine outplayed Quinnipiac 5 on 5. McGovern was huge, but Maine outplayed them and deserved that win, the comeback was great, but Maine deserved to win that game. Saturday again they did not play as well in the beginning but they did what they had to do to come back and force OT for the second night straight against a great Quinnipiac squad, they had all the momentum outplayed them in the third and could have easily won that game as well.
Main Points
1. Maine did not outplay one good team last year, or come even close to playing even with them. They already have this year.
2. McGovern couldn’t put 2 good games together last year. He has already put four together this year.
3. From the beginning of last year Maine had 0 confidence it was very noticeable. They have a certain swagger this year that can carry them a long way.
4. Underclassman were irrelevant last year. We all know how relevant they are already.
5. Maine had two sellouts against Quinnipiac, the people in Orono are excited and will continue to go to games. With a packed Alfond, any team in the country should take a split against Maine, even today.
Prediction: Maine will split with BC at home, losing in Portland, but winning in Orono, they will split with Lowell winning at home losing on the road, they will split with Ohio winning Friday losing Saturday, and they will sweep a mediocre Colgate team that would have trouble splitting with RPI. At the end of these four series Maine will be 8-4 and in the top 20 in both the Pairwise and the Polls.
