University of Maine 2024–2025: Freel-ing good

[NorthMike]

Look at the # of penalties by BU. Their out of control no discipline.
I think they had 4 goals called off due to goalie interference.
​​​Watched last 5 minutes, down 3-0 mass had a 2 min 5 on 3. Bu had 2 -5 min majors in the game.

Its awful if you live here IMHO. I love Spotify but listen to WKIT every time I'm in a vehicle. I've listened to most of the DJs on WKIT for many years. You feel like you know them after so many years. They had Jim Witt and Mike Geary doing weather for free. Best forecasts around without all the hype of the TV guys looking for hits on a website. Radio is way more personal than Spotify. Its a changing world and I doubt its for the better.

When Dan Hannigan was at WZON doing afternoon primetime and play by play for Maine hockey, you couldn't ask for better local sports radio. He composed silly lyrics to old tunes for every team in Hockey East, they were clever as all get out. I doubt any team anywhere had a better play by play guy.

Hannigan was off the hook at that time. He was worth 5 times whatever they paid him.

Berzins in goal!

4th line is Califiore/Pichette/Niemo

Komarov sits this one. Was hoping to see Pichette/Komarov/Niemo. Oh well.

Komarov earned the day off. He has all the tools. He will become a force before his Alfond days are over.

Yes, very good. I’m most impressed with his skating. Great wheels and anchors, he’s hard to knock off the puck. At times I see Trattnig in his skating.

Cant wait to see Berzins play and I'm glad Neimo is out there again

 

[Sparkee]

Coach wasn’t happy with the lack of backchecking by Russell on that first goal. His comment was “we had a player take a retaliation penalty late in the period and he felt like he didn’t have to back check when he came out of the box”. Let’s hope Russell responds with a big effort today.

Maine 1-0

Pichette redirects a Dalton low shot from the point. Perfect chip up redirect!

Berzins gives up a softie from a slapper from the left point.

Not good rookie, do better.

Was hard for me to tell, did it get tipped or redirected, or did he just miss it?

Just plain missed ii IMO. Never appeared to see it.

Missed it, his angle was off gave up too much short side. Now he gets to face power play.

Boija was awful in his first game and he’s turned out okay.

 

[amkirby10]

Great pass by Freel but Androlewicz stones him.

 

[Sparkee]

Niemo with good shift, skating faster this year.

 

[Sparkee]

Boija was awful in his first game and he’s turned out okay.

And I’m sure I told him do better too. He must have listened, look at Boija now!

 

[walrus]

Beauty of a shot by Freel

 

[Sparkee]

Maine 2-1 Freel picks up loose puck barrels down the slot and backhands it past glove of Androlewicz.

 

[Sparkee]

Boija was awful in his first game and he’s turned out okay.

Also, Boija wasn’t awful his first start, which was 5-2 win vs. UNH

 

[Sparkee]

3-1 Maine

Nadeau with a bomb one timer from high slot on the power play
