University of Maine 2024–2025: Freel-ing good

[Sparkee]

A little surprised to see Lesakowski has a healthy scratch, but possible Barr doesn’t like the volatility that he comes with.

Where does it say healthy scratch? How do we know it isn’t because he has lingering injury from the nasty hit he took at Northeastern?

 

[Sparkee]

A poster on Maine hockey Facebook reports Barr confirmed Lesakowski is a healthy scratch. That is surprising, but the team is deep. Coach Barr knows what he is doing.

Pregame Larry says he would get lost in a phone booth. Too funny, like to see him actually try to squeeze into a phone booth.

Mitton taps one in short side off a bounce off the end boards on a shot by Holt. 17 seconds into the game.

Maine 1-0

Do kids these days even know what a phone booth is?

Nice to see an advertisement for Popeye's instead of some meaningless goal...I watch hockey for the ads, not the game!

Boija bailed out Arnott big time there.

And Arnott takes a needless penalty. Rough start for Maine.

 

[Sparkee]

Freel off a rebound from a Makar shot for another power play goal.

Maine 2-0

 

[Sparkee]

Maine 4-0

Freel centered it from behind the net and Scott buried it on the doorstep.

Then before I can finish typing Russell scores another 16 seconds later.

 

[AMC]

I have questions about Merrimack 0 - UNH 0.

 

[Sparkee]

Maine 5-0

Freel with his sixth power play goal of the year on a tip of a point shot by Russell.

Took 5 out of 6 from NU, Beat Q, so does that mean Maine is fast also? I doubt anyone on here thinks Maine is going to blow BU, BC, Denver off the ice but this is by far the fastest Maine team we have had in many moons.

maine is a fast skating team, but they are not gonna embarrass everyone like they did Merrimack and Army

Maine kept up with most Quinnipiac players…Marcellus , Pelosi and Wilmer got around the D quite a bit
maine was overall fast against Northeastern, but did not keep up with Lund or Williams at all and had trouble with Hryzkowian.

 

[AMC]

5 and a game for Merrimack. Yikes.

 

[Sparkee]

Maine goes on a 5 minute power play. Merrimack Greble off for facemasking.

 

[Sparkee]

Somehow Maine got a 7 minute power play.

 

[amkirby10]

Touchdown Black Bears.

 

[Sparkee]

Maine 6-0

Scott on a one timer from the top of the circle. Holt with the feed.

This one turned into is a laugher. Merrimack starting to turn back into the Merrihack we all know and love. Hopefully Maine doesn’t take the bait in the third and take care of business.

 

[AMC]

This is a comprehensive ass kicking

It would be great for the bottom line and bottom 3 defensemen to get the most ice time this period. Kind of give them practice. Even the back up goalie too. Opportunity to show mercy and get more development time for the youngsters.
