UMass clearly faster than Maine. Maine taking penalties left and right but somehow Maine has a 2-0 lead in 2nd
oops, 2-1 now, Maine standing around on D
Pretty ugly but happy to have the lead. I'm happy with Hoglund so far.
Did we ever hear anything definitive on Doherty? I'm assuming we won't see him this season but am wondering if it is official.
The difference was goaltending. Thought Umass was faster than Maine at times. Umass controlled play at times especially early. Maine put some pressure on though and played hard throughout. Vesey and Rob stood out to me. Far too many penalties and thats the thing that continues to **** me off. Why they can't make any progress on that is baffling. At this point its all on the staf. Both teams get smoked in HE playoffs from the looks of things right nowPretty much what you would expect from 11th & 12th place teams...they played to there degree of talent. Both teams no threat to anyone in the upcoming Hockey East Playoffs. Thought Vesey/Smith/Hoglund/McGovern played well.
Dumb Penalty's as you said...which seems is never going to go away.The difference was goaltending. Thought Umass was faster than Maine at times. Umass controlled play at times especially early.

Maybe the officiating is partly to blame......just putting that out there....it seems all the tick-tack calls go against Maine, yet one of Maine's guys was sent nearly headfirst into the boards and that wasn't called, in Maine's building no less

Wow, that's a tough finishing schedule! I see you guys maybe tying ND at Alfond, but the 3 other teams are all super hot right now. Thus, don't see you beating NU, even at home. Any points at all are gonna be a bonus.They have at PC for 2, Notre dame at portland and I guess Alfond. 2 at MC and then 2 at home with Northeastern. Realistically no chance at PC, none nada. Might get a win against Notre Dame maybe even 3 points? MC just beat BU twice so nothing at MC. Split with NU is possible. so maybe 5 points?
