University of Maine 2024–2025: Freel-ing good

It was a great weekend. Outscored the opponent by a score of 12-2, and one of the two was the shot that missed the net, went off the glass, and rolled down Boija's back and into the goal. Yes, they were the better team than the opponent, but let's not lose sight of that there were some genuine musings on if they might drop one (or even both games) with their road struggles, but instead they dominated. And they did so with two top of the lineup players not available today. This team is very good and should be trusted, and I dont understand the negativity and pessimism that appears in this thread from time to time.

This is the kind of weekend that Maine would have struggled with in past years. They took care of business in the face of adversity. This team is really deep and seeing them wear a team down and finish third periods on the road is a great sign.

Hoping Breen is okay but have to admit as someone who was at the game, his reaction tells me it was really bad. The idea of that being his last game at Maine really makes me sad. He is the embodiment of everything this new era of Maine hockey has been about.

This is the kind of weekend you expect from a #5 team and it was great to see Maine bury their opponent in the 3rd period each night. Depth wise I like our 4 lines. Having said that with Breen out should we suffer any additional challenges up front we have not played a single player at forward past Pichette. My prediction would be that we bring in a forward for the 2nd half of the year to add depth, if Breen's injury is, in fact season ending.

RPI fan saying broken leg?

It looked like a fracture to me. Just the way he moved and reacted. He was able to flex and extend both his knee and ankle.

But, often, a non-displaced fracture will heal in 6-8 weeks, whereas a blown-out soft tissue thing with a knee might end a career.

Wishing him the best, what a gamer.
