Rouillard was looking right at it

Looks like elbow to the head by Truman. Maine challenging, should be a major on Truman.

Knowing Rouillard 2 minutes or none taking a long time here

That was clear shoulder to chin from blindside. Not a hard call to make.

 

[Sparkee]

Maine 1-0

Scholle snipes one up high over the blocker, assisted by Djuresevic. Makar screened Welsh.

 

[Sparkee]

Maine 2-0

Djuresevic scores a snipe off the pipe and in right after penalty expired and before Lowell guy can make it back into play from the box.

Must be blind then

Good to see barr chewing the refs a new one on that 5 min challenge

 

[Sparkee]

Maine 3-0

Breen buries a centering pass from behind the net by Russell, lifts it up over the blocker.

 

[walrus]

Breen been possessed on the forecheck tonight, that goal might get him scoring again

 

[Sparkee]

Buttazoni just saved what looked like a sure goal, plucked it out of the crease where Fowler was waiting for the pass behind a down and out Welsh.

 

[Sparkee]

Crazy second period. Maine finding more ice now that Lowell is behind and has to open things up to try to catch up on the scoreboard. Maine has to stay aggressive and NOT go into some stupid trap. That never works with this team.

 

[Sparkee]

Maine 4-0

Breazeale with a beauty cross ice backhand pass on a 2-on-1 and Freel buries it.

 

[walrus]

I figured Maine forgot how to play with a lead, guess not

easy, pretend we are down by 1 goal from now until May

 

[Sparkee]

Boija fell down because Lowell’s Bentley used his stick to get at Boija’s skate.

Anderson of Lowell scores after Boija was tripped.

Maine 4-1

 

[Sparkee]

Maine 5-1

Scott keeps it and rips a laser of a wrister near side on Welch’s glove side on a 2-on-1 with Nadeau.

 

[walrus]

Lets hope that gets Scott scoring goals again

 

[Sparkee]

Maine 6-1

Nadeau scores off a rebound from tough angle after Nobes put a hard low shot off Welch’s pads.

 

[walrus]

Josh to make it 6-1

This win will wrap up a #1 seed, probably in Allentown. Right now Maine would open against host Pedo State with Boston University and Quinnipiac in the late game.

If BC defeats Northeastern tonight, Maine will play BU in the late game Thursday night; if the Huskies pull the upset Maine plays them in the early game.
