The Barr Has Been Raised at UMaine

Never seen anything quite like it. Shooting under 2% last two games, back to back 50+ shot performances. You have to believe the results are gonna come. Goaltending and team defense has been great and it’s really encouraging to see Thiessen and Ostman playing well. I have a feeling this team starts finding ways to win in the second half of this year. The last 5 games have been pretty solid, they’re playing much better.

It might be some sort of modern record to pepper the goal to the tune of 100+ shots in 2 games and come away winless.

But, I agree, if Maine keeps up this sort of offensive onslaught they can't help but to start racking up some W's.
 
Is this the first game they actually had a lead? Maybe its baby steps but its good to see them getting better

I have 2 neighbors who are long time Doctors at EMMC/Northern Lights, Covid cases are overwhelming Bangors Hospitals also.

You might be correct; the offense may be suffering a record setting bout of futility. I'll check the media guide to find out.

Oh right...

I have to say, based on the shot totals they allow, the defense has been playing pretty well. You don't allow only 11 shots thru 2 1/2 periods by playing bad defense. But holy smokes, they absolutely cannot score goals under any circumstances.

I too thought they played well last night. Good defense, goal tending and fore check was effective. They even came out of D zone with efficiency and speed. Heck neutral zone wasnt bad either. There were several just golden scoring chances.
Watching Breen impresses me more and more each game, an offensive work horse.
 
Since this team doesn’t have any finishers, it’s nice to have an incoming one to look forward to. Josh Nadeau was named BCHL 2nd Star of the Week and has 10 goals and 7 assists during his 10 game point streak.

Maine led 3-2 at Omaha before losing 5-3. Maine had a 2-0 lead midway through the game at Northeastern before losing 3-2. Maine led 1-0 after a period before losing 4-3 to Connecticut. Maine led 2-1 in the third period before tying at Boston College.

Reminder that today's game starts at 5:00.

Felix Trudeau is also having a great season in the BCHL and has signed his NLI. Looks to be a really nice recruiting class shaping up for next year. Nadeau and Trudeau should be players for Barr to build around.

Who recruited those guys ; )

The Russian kid has had a couple good games in the last week. I was looking the other day and it seems like he is either really good or really bad, which I think is a positive sign.

Hopefully out of the Pabich, Olsen, weis, Pichette, and Gaulin group Maine can find a couple decent players and one or two who can do a job on the fourth line.

Gotta give Red and co. credit for finding those guys. Also gotta give credit to Barr for rounding out this class and keeping the best pieces intact. Crucial to any rebuild. Barr picking up Bradley Nadeau was big as well.

Pabich and Olsen have put up good numbers in the USHL. Arnott, Pichette and Antonacci probably come in and play right away too. That’s 7 freshmen in the lineup already for next season and I anticipate there will be more.
 
Could this be the night the players learn how to win games? Wasn't able to watch, but losing a 3-1 lead early in the third then taking a major penalty late in the third would have meant an easy L in the past. Tonight was a tough win. Still a LONG way to go, but a journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step...
