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

[Sparkee]

On subject of face offs:
********************
Lipinski 17-5 for FO% of 77.3%
Scott 25-16 for FO% of 61%
Komarov 7-9 17-5 for FO% of 43.8%
Scholle 8-14 for FO% of 36.4%
Freel 3-1 for FO% of 75%
Fowler 2-3 for FO% of 40%
Nadeau 1-3 for FO% of 25%

Scholle is new to this, so let’s see if his face off abilities improve. He played center for the first time this weekend, I believe. Last year he only took 4 face offs and lost all of them. So this is new territory for him.

Komarov won 45.4% of face offs last year. So no change in that so far this year. Was hoping he would improve over time at winning face offs.

Every team in the meaningless poll ahead of us either lost or tied a game this weekend. So while I think there is a chance we are polled #1 come Monday I don't think we will be.

Also the person who pick Michigan as #1 in the poll at the beginning of the year is starting to look like a genius as of now.

My top 10 after this weekend:

1. Michigan
2. BU
3. Maine
4. Penn State
5. Michigan State
6. BC
7. Denver
8. UMass
9. Providence
10. Quinnipiac

Western Michigan & North Dakota just outside of Top 10
