I checked box scores, Maine had 5( 6 including last night )too many men calls this season. opponents had 2. I remember Walshy blaming himself after every game he had one and I doubt there were 5 in a season but I'm too lazy to look.

I didn't see Maine quit until the too many call and then I do believe that call got into their heads. Too bad, they weren't awful as far as playing with PC was concerned. Stupid penalties did them in.

I see Swayman getting pulled tonight, Maine gets crushed.

Whats worse getting them all the time or getting them in the most crucial of situations? Teams that can’t cash in when they get opportunities like last night’s late power play are bad teams so this is still a bad team.

Bad teams find a way to lose, simple. PC is good, they aren't unbeatable yet Maine hasn't beaten them since 2011. It's the same thing we have seen for years.

In all fairness Maine improved this year but we still see the same mistakes. Never going to get back on top taking a too many men call at the end of a tie game .

Like to think they would put it behind them and play hard tonight.

Was Umass picked behind Maine? Wasn't Maine picked dead last. They didn't finish there. I wouldn't give him COY but he is in the running

Interesting Kevin Swallow who used to play for Maine is already head coach of UNE and has his team in the D3 NCAAs.

Yeah Maines improved. Theyve gone from really bad to just bad. I hooe people dont confuse that with good.

Bottom line you guys are still playing (unlike some teams I know...:rolleyes:) Good luck tonight!!!

With how strange of a year it was in HEA I think there might be as many as five coaches who have at least a snowball’s chance at the award (York, Carvel, Cavanaugh, Madigan, Gendron).

I think they will play hard and I look for a bounce back game by Swayman in that he has risen the team outlook and has gained confidence each and every game he's played, Not much has fazed this kid...he's a gamer with moxie and lets hope his team and players follow suit are ready for PC. Need to start like they did last night, pressure all over the ice and shoot from every where's on Hawkey...and the dreaded penalty box need's not to be occupied by this team tonight. No frustration penalty's.

There is a reason for stupid or as they say ill advised penalty's....look right behind the Bench....this is something that has happened over and over for 5 years....no sugar coating it. But this was Maine's game to win, I don't really think this team quit last night....they fell into there own hole and PC cashed in...plus credit the play of Hayden Hawkey....he kept them in time and again.

Here are some quotes from Bangor Daily article...

“It was a good hockey game,” said UMaine coach Red Gendron. “There were ebbs and flows to it."

“For us, it’s about coming back (Saturday) night. You don’t get anything for winning one game, you’ve got to win two. That’s how we look at it,” he said.

Gendron said after jumping out to the 2-0 lead, Providence “pushed back and tied it” and the Black Bears didn’t play as well as they needed to in that first period, being outshot 17-7.

“But I thought we played pretty well after that. In the second period, we spent a lot of time in the box and they tied it on the power play. The bottom line is we were still in decent shape,” Gendron added.

I don't read into anything he says now...pretty much know he flows in a different direction then most Coaches...he will always go in the opposite direction no matter what...I saw last night on THE PC site that they called him "CLUELESS"

It will be difficult to win two at The Coffin without Holway and Lacroix out.

Luckily just got back in time, had wedding for wifey friends today. She drank two glasses and I drove home. Sorry wifey to drug you but Maine hockey means more, lol!
 
Re: UMaine Black Bears 2017/18, Red dawn

And no more cheap penalties! Please! Behind the play... keeper and hammy. You know. Play bodies and clear net front. Muehlbauer you got clear netfront.
 
Re: UMaine Black Bears 2017/18, Red dawn

Oh hell same set of announcers. :( I understand it is away announcers, but kind of sad that providence has these two. Again. I think they are trying to drive good hockey fans outofhockey east. What gives?
