Fun time in Alfond, pretty vocal crowd. Maine had the edge for most of the game. Haven't seen them play this physically in years. I hope the kid that Swavely hit is ok, I couldn't see the actual hit but someone told me it was brutal and very cheap? If so doubt Swavely plays tomorrow. Not sure when Joey figures out he is needed on the ice and not in the box, that was one sweet goal as was Kyles. I think Canata must have started to move for the pass when Kyle let it go. That line of Mangene, Beattie and Shamansky had a great shift with about 5 minutes left in the game, folks were out of gas but that was one great shift. Sully made the saves he should have and a few that changed the game for Maine. Cornell had a heck of a game

Brutal? Yes. Cheap, as in intentional, no. I got to see 2 replays of it, so I base what I think on this. I think a major is unwarranted here, but would have expected 2 minutes just for the contact of the shoulder to the head for the sake of principle. It's a pity they cannot just review the replays in order to call it right.
