Nice to see Djuresevic turn things around down the stretch. He is now up to 5th in CHIP rating on the team. https://www.collegehockeynews.com/stats/team/Maine/25
With him when he has some hits and physical play he ends up having a better overall game. He had some big hits and lots of pinning guys and stamping them out of carrying the puck places. Nice to see this.

Probably 4th place and home ice for quarters would have been the floor, instead it is our ceiling.
It is what it is, Maine obviously wasn’t good enough if they get swept by UNH at home.
It is just UNH didn’t do anything with their momentum and now are going nowhere. They need a new coach. Souza isn’t developing players well. They seem to be solid at the start of the season when the players come off summer training. but worst in class by the end of the season after Souza’s coaching and development has settled in.
Blasphemy !! You obviously don't know what you're talking about. UNH has a fabulous young coach who is developing the program from the bottom up. Sousa is bringing in some nice young talent, coaching them up and will be making a late run at the tourney. Titletown Durham will soon see the fruits of his efforts !

Born a Mainer
It's nice to see Maine play pretty good the last two weekends and not take a lot of penalties for a change. The defense and puck movement also looks a lot better than it has most of the season. This see if they can maintain momentum and continue the win streak in Vermont and the HE playoffs.
Though not likely Maine still can get an at large bid into the NCAA tournament if results are favorable and they win a couple more games. Just this upcoming week/weekend alone Maine could go up to 13th in the NPI. (With a regulation win at Vermont, BC/UMASS/UCONN losing, and CCHA teams losing/cannibalizing each other in their BO3's)

Your Team Sucks
The standings are a literal cluster right now. Anyone watch the Uconn/Umass ending? I'm no Uconn fan but the lights going out on a 2 on 1 in OT for Uconn is BS and likely cost them that extra point..shady shit. With that said, if anything I'd rather play the extra game at home as the 6 seed. DO NOT WANT the 5 seed. Basically your best case scenario for this coming weekend is hoping that BU loses, and UMass or UConn get swept. Otherwise pray we end up in 6th.

Should be a penalty shot for pulling crap like that.
I dont really see the point in hoping to land in 6th instead of 5th. Sure, not getting one more game at the Alfond for the fans/seniors would be a shame, but even if you win the home game, you just end up in the same place you would have been automatically if you got 5th, a road game with a Garden trip on the line. All getting 6th does is give you an extra chance to lose a game and end your season even earlier. Obviously I would like 4th (technically they are still alive for 3rd too, but lol) but asking for 6th instead of 5th is just pointless.

Another really solid weekend, perhaps they’re heating up when it matters.
This logic to me makes no sense to me, you’d rather play a Wednesday night game vs Vermont so we can all feel good about ourselves and still have to play a road quarterfinal??? I’d much rather have a week to prepare for a do or die single elimination road game.
Either way, I like how the boys are playing and like their chances in the 4/5 spot to get to the garden.

4-1-1 without Poirier….4-0 without Scott. Just sayin’.
