So, getting back to Maine hockey, does anyone give them a chance tomorrow?

It'll be the first time I've seen them this year, but going on the numbers alone, looks like BU has about an 80% likelihood of winning.

I will watch until things get ugly, but I'll absolutely have a Plan B in place.

Are any of the listed channels carrying the game available on TW Cable in York County?

If they lose in front of the 1999 team I would be extremely disappointed as I'm sure a lot of other people would be. I think they get the win.

Is tonight's game on TV in Southern Maine/York County (Time Warner Cable)? If so, what station?

Thanks.

After last weekend I'm not sure it matters how they play in front of. Being home should help but who knows. Love to see Hates lay out the phenom :)

Hopefully they'll show the ceremony for the 99 team on the broadcast. Might be he only thing worth watching! :eek:

Hopefully he does it the right way and not with a Game DQ...pounds him enough that he knows when he's on the ice Hayes can't be far away. Maine needs there big time A game tonight as this isn't last years BU squad.

I'd try to match Higgins, Merchant, and Lacroix up against Eichel and have Musil take Higgins' spot on the third line. Who knows what Red up his sleeve though.

Another thing to watch will be how Red matches up against the 2nd coming, what D pair is he going to put out?

According to all the hype it won't matter. He'll score at will.

Red will probably have Shore, who may be our best defensive forward, on the ice every time Eichel is out there. Win or lose it should be a great night with the 99'ers back.

No matter what, it has to be a D pairing with speed. If not, they're toast.

I've seen them (BU) three times at Agannis this fall. The kid is almost as good as all the hype. And there's a ton or two of hype.

Ma#1ne Hky is absolutely right. This is a much improved BU team over last year's sheet show. 50% of it is Eichel, 50% everything else. O'Connor has been very good in goal. Not a fluke where they are ranked.

Does Plan B include lots of alcohol?

Fire RED. We are 3-7. Nothing has changed. We are not headed in any Right Direction. IT's M.O.T.S.

Sorry, but other than that horrible turnover by Swavely, and then his equally horrible play at the blue line to try to stop him, I thought this was probably the most solid effort Maine has put in all season. They continue to play like this, and they should win more than they lose.
