I refuse to pay for floshitsports for 2 games.

Will someone be posting scores? It would be greatly appreciated.

Just go to the main part of the site. Or CHN. Or....

4-1 final score, Fowler gets an empty netter.

My 3 stars
1. Parekh
2. Klimpke
3. Peterson

Still 7:30 left in the game and Quinnipiac is barely holding on to a 10-2 lead against UHN
Providence and Stonehill 3-3 with 3 remaining in OT

Love that road win. Obviously not a super high quality opponent but Holy Cross has been respectable the past few years.

How many times did we see Maine grind out a road game like that last year? Not many so it feels good to see a more blue collar mentality.

Much better third period. In all, I think it was a solid win, despite a shaky second period. I think I would agree with blackbears9's three stars, also with a shoutout for Fowler.

Fowler and Scholle took shots that game. Holy Cross blocked a lot but Maine peppered the net. Couple bounces or saves their goalie made prevented a more lop sided affair. Fowler looked gassed/slow on that break away, but love everything about him. Good win

 

[BernieTheReffigy]

Well-fought road win. Still room to improve, as the second period made obvious. But overall, really liked the work rate out of the squad tonight. On to tomorrow night in the bigger venue. Looks like this 26-27 team is generally headed in the right direction.

Score probably should have been a bit more crooked but Holy Cross did a great job selling out to block shots.

Not letting that lead slip away after HC played better in the second and securing a road win is a good sign.

Like the way the lines looked, and chemistry should only get better the more they play together.

One more thought, I'm really tired of the wingers playing center experiment. Four real centers is the #1 thing on my wish list for next season.

I don't think that they will be gifted a 5 minute major to start the game tomorrow night so will be interesting to see how this team responds to 5 on 5 out of the gate. Holy Cross will get some wins this season.....their tender definitely kept them in the game.

Liked the intensity, skating and general team work....refreshing! Goals might be hard to come by....hopefully more chemistry as the season goes on will lead to better scoring chances. Boija was a bit up and down but mentally seemed like in a much better place compared to last season.

I would imagine Scholle goes to the wing when Scott comes back and when Komarov plays (which had me shocked he was scratched if that was the case).

There shouldn’t be a need to play him there, that said I thought the Fowler, Scholle, Alfano line was effective.

He settled right in after that goal too. Shades of last year a bit with the glove hand just not quick enough. Nice to see him stay composed and lock it down from there.

His 44th win tonight moved him into a tie with Matt Yeats for 8th on the career wins list. Howard/Swayman are both next in his sights with 47 wins each.

I wouldn't even have Albin in the same time-zone as Jimmy or Sway, but it's a decent '26-'27 start for sure.
