The Barr Has Been Raised at UMaine

Merrimack beat BC last night. HE will be tight this year. We need some points this weekend and that will be tough.

Has the sound system ever been good in Alfond? Maybe they could setup a blue tooth signal so you just wear headphones to hear the announcements : )

Would be better to have a better sound system. Most PA announcements are almost inaudible.

The Saturday game they had the PA cranked. There were times where the volume was so loud it was jarring. But certainly agree that cleaner audio would make a huge difference as well.
 
What would we consider a successful weekend? For me taking one of the games to overtime and a close loss would keep me optimistic. If they can take one of the games I’d be thrilled. Uconn is heavy and fast which is something I don’t think Maine has really seen yet.

It’ll be good test, hope our goaltending can be solid.

Found a free video stream for the game so I'll be watching tonight.

I know better than to expect much on the road from this Maine team yet, but if they can pull off a split I'll be very happy. Just don't want to see this team get bullied around this weekend.
 
"The Huskies would be wise to get as many shots on net as they can."

So...they should try to win the game? That's just crazy enough to work.
 
Nice 5x3 penalty kill just before the end of the second period. Maine hanging right around despite getting outshot through two (22-15).
 
Tie game entering the third on the road against a team ranked in the Top 10. Big gut check for them, let's see how they respond.
 
Terrible turnover at center ice leads to the UConn winner.

As disappointing as that is, if what we've seen from UConn and Quinnipiac is indicative of top 10 hockey this year, there is no reason Maine can't be competitive all season.
 
Wish they would have won but they hung with them the whole way. I liked that they didn’t shy away from the physical play. I said I’d like to see them take one to overtime and they’ve done that. I’m planning on going to the game tomorrow so hoping to see a win but really just want to see a good game.
 
Maine battled and their defense kept them in the game. At this point UConn has more skilled players and are quicker. I thought the game would be over when Sirota iced the puck in the last minute of regulation, but Maine survived temporarily. Maine played a good game and could have stolen a win. Hope they play a good game tomorrow as well.
