University of Maine 2024–2025: Freel-ing good

Maine's position in the pairwise will very much hinge on Saturday night. A win puts Maine in third and should secure a top seed in the national tournament regardless of what happens in Boston. A loss could drop Maine all the way to seventh. The benefit of that may be that the committee could decide to stick both #1 Boston College and #2 Maine in Manchester.... All four #2 seeds could be from Hockey East.

That degree of a precipitous drop on the basis of one loss v. UML is actually possible?

Seems crazy, but I'll take your word for it.

Still, I can't root against my boys, no matter what the PW implications might be.

Call me overly sanguine, but I don't think that this team is a prohibitive underdog vs. any team out there. Not even close.

Thats going to piss people off. Pay for gold parking and have to take a shuttle.

On second line it says “There will be no change to VIP, Gold or ADA parking.”

Just the general fans are the ones that will get pissed off having to take shuttle. But hopefully they get there early enough so that it doesn’t delay them past opening face off.

Forward are pretty stacked but it’s surprising not to see Makar or Scott get a nod on the third team, same with Djurasevic over the UHN kid.

Lund, Richard, and Greene all have more points in conference play than Scott and Makar. So can’t be surprised by that.

Djuresevic though had better statistics in conference than Holt and Gagne. His CHIP rating is much higher than Gagne’s. His CHIP, +/-, ppg, blocked shots are all higher than Holts.

To me Djuresevic should be on the 3rd, then Holt also on 3rd, then Gagne left out. Based purely on meaningful statistics.

Other than that I don’t see any glaring omissions.
 
I happen to think Boija should have been first team. This isn't a slight at all to Fowler, who is an excellent goalie, and if I took my blue glasses off I could be convinced of Fowler being worthy of first team over Boija. But for it to be unanimous I found very eyebrow raising. I'm a huge fan of Holt, so I might have put him second team, and I agree Djurasevic was also probably worthy to be at least third team. I'm not too upset about Maine's lack of forwards, as mentioned previously, because Hockey East is loaded at forward and Maine did have some issues with scoring this season, especially in conference.

Actually, looking at Fowler and Boija's stats, I might have to take it back.

Pretty amazing Maine finished 2nd in Hockey East and got a 1 seed in the NCAAs with only two league all-stars and no first teamers 🙄

I'm assuming Barr will be a unanimous pick for Coach of the Year since he managed such a fantastic season with such a horrible team...
