UMaine Hockey 23 - 24: The Barr Crawl to Glory!!!

[Drew S.]

Sucks that the two nicest goals Maine scored tonight the refs disallowed.

Need to get other lines going in the third and don’t let RPI have the puck all alone in front of the net.

 

[OronoKO]

Did they say why they overturned the goal on the TV or radio broadcast? Goalie get bumped?

Puck hit the net above the glass before the goal was scored

 

[NorthMike]

Ooohh this is going to be a fun year watching 82. Great touch and knows where to be.

Tyler, puck hit the net above the glass about a minute before Bradly one timed. Play was ruled dead at that point after review. Good call negated a great goal.

I am at the game and there was no explanation of no goal. What was the reason?

Thanks! Couldn’t it bounce up there from down on the other end.

Puck went out of play.

Thanks.

Josh to breen 3 1 oops 4 1 on next shift

This is like the olden days!

This first line is absolutely ridiculous. Any level of secondary scoring will make this team lethal.

And as I say that, Renwick pots one.

 

[NorthMike]

That goal, brad to josh then to breen was a beauty. What a great handle by josh.

 

[umhockey91]

I pity any slow footed teams that play Maine this season.

 

[Drew S.]

Ref just made the best defensive play of the night

 

[Wayuphere]

And just think, who’s the youngest player on the team?

 

[walrus]

I thought RPI looked good early . Maine found or made some open ice with their speed. Pretty much dominated the puck for 55 minutes. I don’t know how good RPI is supposed to be? Funny Barr didn’t play another goalie against uhn but did tonight. So far so good.

Maine is going to have an opportunity to make some serious waves in the college hockey world over the next month. First they have to take care of business tomorrow night.....then @ #5, @ #15, #4 and @#1 on 4 consecutive weekends....mercy.

My thoughts:

This was a good win. RPI might not be the greatest team in the world but you can only beat whoever you are playing that night. I’m not sure we’ll find out a lot about Maine until the Merrimack series.

The NB line is almost certainly the best line Maine has had since Flynn-Abbott-Diamond. It will be interesting if teams are able to slow them down at all once there is some tape of them out there. I do expect they’ll get roughed up a lot.

I’m very pleased with Josh Nadeau. He def can hang at the college level and should be a strong contributor for four years.

Anyone know about the new goalie? Typically teams dress three goalies at home. Hopefully it’s just a minor injury or something like that.

Maine is going to have to do a lot better in their own zone. Fortunately RPI didn’t have a ton of possession but they generated at least half a dozen great chances from what little possession they did have.

Hopefully Maine can complete the sweep tomorrow.

Ostman played the entire game tonight.

I actually kind of agree with Drew for once I think that set against MC is going to be a critical eatly measuring stick for Maine.

As I said before, I think my baseline for being satisfied with the next four series is a maximum of four losses. I think you need a minimum of three wins and a tie in order to be happy with how it went, at least in my opinion.
