University of Maine 2024–2025: Freel-ing good
- Thread starter UMO Better Blues
- Start date
Agreed. I was liking what I was seeing from him; I even shouted him out at one point. He really fell into the doghouse after taking that major in Providence, I don't think he took a single shift the rest of the year after that game.

Real quick, I tend to disagree with most on here that Maine was steamrolled last night. (I got home too late to watch it live, but looked at it very carefully today.) It was a de-facto road game against a good team, and Maine shot themselves in the foot in the 1st via utterly unnecessary boarding penalties. That set the tone for the whole game.
I didn't see that PSU was appreciably faster, or more skilled... And Lions got the better bounces all night long.
Oh well, great year just the same. Boija comes back, Ben brings in some talent, and we good.
Goooooo BLUE!

There was a play specifically that stands out speed wise, I forget if it was Renwick or Freel chasing a puck back into their own end and the PSU guy caught them and gapped them as if they were standing still.
UMass was looking pretty good until then. Kind of a soft call IMO.

Your Team Sucks
Would be nice to have Lesakowski's size on D next year. We have a bunch of smallish defensemen but when you go up against some of these big boy schools you gotta be able to clear net fronts. Yeah, yeah I know Lesakow had a knack for turning the puck over and occasionally take bad penalties, but maybe with a year under his belt he comes out of it and becomes a solid guy on the back end. Most all of these games against perennial powerhouse teams I wish Maine had the horses to be able to push back.

Adam Eisele is a player in the portal I wouldn’t be surprised if Maine goes after. Played with our Penticton crew a couple years back. 13 goals 13 assists this year with Minnesota State.

I wouldn’t be shocked if the Gophers landed him especially with the big losses they have had.

M-A-I-N-E, GooOOO, Blue!
I'll mostly cheer for the league, but I've been around long enough that BU would have to be playing Al Queda to get me to pause long enough to consider rooting for them. And I still might not.

Wont be surprised to see Lesok go in the portal. He never played again after his stint on offense.

BU and BC, nope

Both probably. Penn State was getting through neutral zone with ease against Maine, not so much with UConn. I think UConn is more aggressive with anticipating and intercepting… stepping up into passes. Maine just kept backing off and played timid.
