UMaine '26-'27: The Bridge On the River Stillwater

[eyak29]

I dunno. Alternatively they could just be bad at shooting.

Could be, but the last three years say otherwise. Maine shot 9.4%, 8.9% and 9.9% the last three seasons, and they're at 6.6% now (not counting empty-netters). Same coach, same system. And grooverider is right about Eskit, he stopped 88 of 91 that weekend. I still think the pucks start going in, hopefully starting in Burlington.

Interesting looking at returning forwards:

Max Scott was 7.4% last year, he's actually up to 8.3%
Owen Fowler went from 11.5% to 13.5% to 5.4%.
Gerrior 11.1% to 0% (27 shots last year, 21 this year)
Brock James 10% to 9.1%
Komarov 4.2% to 10.8% to 0% (only taken 6 shots)
Lipinski was 0-for-20 last year, at 6.3% this year
Pichette 11.1% to 10.2% to 0-for-10
Russell 10.6% to 8% to 0-for-15
Scholle 12.1% to 4.8% to 9% to 4.3%

Interesting looking at returning forwards: Gerrior 11.1% to 0% (27 shots last year, 21 this year) ... Pichette 11.1% to 10.2% to 0-for-10. Russell 10.6% to 8% to 0-for-15

Great breakdown. The part that jumps out is Gerrior, Pichette and Russell: they're a combined 0-for-46 this year, and all three have shot around 10% or better in past seasons. At their usual rates that's 4 or 5 goals that haven't shown up yet. Shooting slumps like that don't usually last all year, so I'd bet on those three more than on a guy like Komarov who's barely shooting.

Komorav isnt a goal scorer, terrible shot, he is a banger and chaser.

I thought he looked good in Saturdays game

He hustles great and is tough, had the puck in the slot off a weird play all alone staring at the net no one around, his shot went right into the pad without much heat. Just saying he is nota goal scorer.

On this day in 2017 Paul Kariya was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. Easily the greatest athlete I've ever known but off the ice he was an even better friend. Kind, generous and (despite his obvious talent) incredibly humble. Hopefully we'll see him at Alfond this season.

Big game tonight for WBB vs. Oregon at the Pit. This team is really fun to watch this season.
