Recognize Ben Murphy sitting on the bench. Larry mentioned several in his column today, but would have been nice to have the rosters posted by somebody even Hockey East. Two games and have to say our alumni looked much better in the photos, had uni's and in none of the photos were they looking down at the puck. Morrison played net for both games. Was wondering if it was Grillo in the last picture on D, but Roger played a long time ago and that player looks younger even from behind based on posture. Have done the Fenway thing so will have the best seat tomorrow, my couch. Good luck to those attending you'll be lucky to see anything!

I think the UNH player in the first top pick on the right is Mark Mowers. The first Maine game I saw on the road at the Whit in possibly 97 or so in the Scott Permentier/Shawn Wansborough era was a game where UNH clobbered Maine 7-0, and Mowers who I think was captain of UNH at the time was taken off the ice on a stretcher. Memories...

Negative, Mowers was, I imagine, working with NESN last night. And the first 5 pix are from the older dudes, the bottom four are newer dudes. Got some decent shots at practice today at the ballpark. Eventually I'll have them all posted....

Really need a win tonight, hopefully they play well. Goaltending,once again, will be the key.

\Ben was probably wise to sit and stay on the bench... last time he skated in Boston, the blue line attacked him... jumped right up and wrapped itself around his foot, while he was on a break away.

he'd been on the ice about minute before that happened, he was gassed.

Not to mention why TIMMAY can claim to have won at least one piece of hardware.

very boring game after 1 period

Not sure how that was boring? Game much better than the UVM-UMASS game on what I am sure is worse ice. Bad rebound by Sully on the 1st goal.

Second period much better but thought the first was a real snoozer.

Is Maine 7-1-1 in their last 9 games? Extension coming for Timmay!

Shut. Up. (barf)

Only fitting Flynn notches the winner with help from Abbott and Diamond. Without them, this season is totally lost. (shudders: thinking of next year)

Why not? He's only got 2 more years and we can't have Mr. Whitehead feeling any pressure or discomfort!

those teams that Maine has beaten... not one of them is in the top 25, right?

to maine tied and beat number 31 in the country
beat number 41
beat number 55 three times
lost to number 6
beat 41 AGAIN
beat number 34ish

well heres' hoping Maine does not have to face anyone in the top 6, or even above number 31 again

unfortunately Maine's next 6 are:
2 against number 3
2 against number 5 and
2 against number 6

then:
one against 27
2 against 56... and I hate looking at Tim's record against Huntsville
1 against number 9
2 against number 31
2 against 17 and
one more against UNH, at 34

If timmy can win 2 of the next 6, I will say he did something way better than I had expected.... I see about 4 more wins this season... ya don't often get 8 games in a 9 game stretch against teams ranked 31 out of 58 total teams in the country when you play in hockey east

Very cool experience...wishful thinking, perhaps, but that's a game they cough up last year. They found a way to stay in it and win it, and create a bounce of their own. Maybe that's a sign the tide's turning a little bit. Optimism I know.

A 3x5 goal? Had to happen sometime the way the shorties are piling up. But JFC a 3x5? Ugh.

Honestly the Maine fans/contingent...outnumbered everybody. Out-louded everybody. Having the pep band in the house made the atmosphere more festive and just generally enjoyable. Through everything Maine fans continues to travel and continue to bring it in situations like this...you can tell the boys on the team notice it and it means a lot to them. So that turnout was awesome to see.

Knock on wood maybe they can keep this thing rolling.

You are right Maine FANS...Home or Away they are one of the Best in the country...That is why they are so important to Hockey East and Regionals...they have Fans willing to go the extra mile...you can bet that when Maine & UNH are not in the Hockey Finals at Boston the Building does not fill up or have the atmosphere....the ending was GREAT....just some parts of the game,well Maine kept them in....but I'll take this WIN....bet there was alot of HAPPY Mainers in Bean-Town yesterday....and good for them....
