UMaine 25-26: Marques My Word: Back to the Big Time

[NorthMike]

Okay guys nobody wants to hear it but we may be losing the locker room. Barr has made some bad decisions this year. He is wearing down some players with his constant bitching. Who knows where we go from here but this may be a lost year and we likely will lose atleast Porier maybe more..can he bring on the right reinforcements? We need some veteran transfers.

I think he lost the locker room.
His style wasnt working with the new egos.
Barr has great potential but this season brings to light that he just needs to develop more as a head coach. He can do it, has a good hockey mind just a bit clumbsy being the boss.

Over the last 20 years Maine hockey is 14-31-2 against Providence! There was a stretch where Maine had 15 consecutive losses against Providence (2014 - 2019). Former Maine volunteer assistant and Old Town High School assistant coach knows how to coach and recruit.

In rewatching the tying goal from last night....I'm absolutely blaming Holt for this loss. When the puck was dumped back in....he had at least a couple of steps on the Providence player to get to the puck and whack it out.....he sauntered lazily to the puck while the Providence player went full steam and got the puck......then Holt falls in front of Rousseau and didn't even attempt to get up while screening Rousseau from having any chance at a save.....it was right up there with the most pathetic few seconds of Maine hockey I've ever seen.

I think he was gased.
I started to see the whole team looking/playing tired mid 3rd period and i said to my wife that i bet providence ties it up.
Bad decisions come with being gased.

I said it during the game also. They gave it all they had. Once again we have a team with little offense and no PP

This was at the end of the game. Holt was called offsides with about a minute or two left and it wasn't even close. He was onside by a foot and they said the puck went out of the zone. Not to mention the Scholle face off violation in the beginning of the game which was not anything of the sort and Barr was losing his mind

I'd have to watch it back, I don't recall such a controversial play. I remember the one on the too many, then the one near the end of the game that the poke check on the attempted break away that brought the play offside.

 

[Jacob0804]

I agree, and I am a friar fan.

You saying it twice doesn't make it feel any better haha.

 

[Jacob0804]

he can't afford to lose the maybe more part. Porier may leave no matter what happens but you can't keep bringing in 13 players and expect to have a cohesive unit

Have you seen the recruiting list... Maine has like 2x or more of most any other school.

I think that one they actually called a hand pass, not offsides. Was close but they probably got it right. It would have been an egregious offsides call.
