Re: UMaine Black Bears, 2017-2018, reds last stand part 2
I was at the Game last night, while I would have certainly stuck with Swayman too, the DMEN made some very bad pinches at the blue line which led to a lot of odd-man rushes. McGovern didn't play great, but a lot of the shots that Brown had were in the slot with limited traffic. The Fossier Line was really the only line that played well in my opinion, they had some very good cycles down low. A few very bad penalties as well, I think it was 5 PP to 1 in favor of Brown which made it hard to sustain a good flow. Maine was all over them in the OT, Fossier needs to get the puck on net in times when he looks to pass, but he is a smart player on the offensive side of the game. I was impressed by Brown's Defenseman Stillwell. Listed at 5'9" but if he is taller than 5'7" i'd be shocked. Very slick skater, reminds me of Ryan Spooner on how he used his edges and he was able to get the puck out of the D-Zone with relative ease. Certainly a game UMAINE should have won
