Hope you guys have a hell of a 2nd half as that would be a big plus for UVM...

Didn't have the time to watch the game today, but 1-0-1 in Florida looks like progress to me... Let's hope that the guys build on this weekend. (I think that they will.)

On video anyway, Princeton looked huge. And they weren't afraid to hit. EZAC has come a long way in the last 5 years.

No such thing as the EZAC anymore; that conference is at least as good as HE right now, and the same goes (more or less) for every conference across the country.

Every team needs to show up for every game right now; there are no easy-pickings to be had these days.

I learned a little Maine history today. In 1854, the townspeople of Ellsworth, ME tarred and feathered the man who became the 1st President of Boston College.

Awesome. It would appear as though that's the same gentleman that John Bapst High School is named for, as their website states they were "named for a nineteenth-century Swiss Jesuit priest and missionary".

As a local boy (Brewer graduate) I always knew there was another reason I didn't like Bapst...

Well I don't know if 1-0-1 is progress since they were 2-0 the last 2 tourneys.. But yes a win and a tie "on the road" so to speak is a good showing. Albeit a win against the 2nd worst team in the country....but a win is a win. I'd like to see them string a little unbeaten streak together to start the 2nd 1/2.

It's kind of amusing that Kimball Union incorrectly has John Bapst High School as "John Baptist" High School on Whitehead's bio.

"Prior to his position at Maine, Whitehead was the Head Coach at the University of Massachusetts Lowell, and also served as an Assistant Coach at UMass Lowell, Maine, and Middlebury College. *Prior to that, he taught history and social studies at St Gregory The Great School in Hamilton, NJ and at John Baptist High School in Bangor, ME. Whitehead played professional hockey in Europe before starting his teaching & coaching career. *He earned his undergraduate degree at Hamilton College and his Master's degree in Education at the University of Maine, graduating*summa cum laude.*"

Progress? Maine has won the Florida Classic tournament the previous two consecutive years.

According to the PPH write up, Byron played vs. Cornell. Mentions an opportunity he had in the third period to score.

They probably had him and Morgan mixed up. The line looked a lot less potent with Norman instead of Byron.

From article:

"Gendron said he is unsure of the availability of freshman right wing Blaine Byron and senior defenseman and captain Brice O’Connor.

Byron got hurt in a game against Princeton and didn’t play against Cornell, and O’Connor suffered an injury early in the Cornell game and didn’t return.

Gendron would not disclose the nature of the injuries."

Re: Maine Hockey 2013-2014 - Red Light District

Hey, got to agree with Red....that was a huge and skilled Cornell team with great goaltending. Maine went to war with those monsters and didn't give an inch. Really like the way they did not quit...another giant step forward.

Re: Maine Hockey 2013-2014 - Red Light District

Jumping ahead a little, the USCHO site shows Maine-Quinnipiac on 1/3/14 on NESN at 7 PM. The Hockey East composite TV schedule lists nothing on NESN that night. Anyone know which is correct?

The Maine/Quinnipiac game on January 3rd is indeed on NESN at 7:00 PM. Quinnipiac also offers a free Internet You Tube feed of all of their home games. It is taken off their video scoreboard and is not the same as can be seen on NESN, however it is not a bad production for free.
The audio is provided by the radio broadcast.

Would be a heck of a time to grab that first road win

"Progress", as in garnering a few points away from the Alfond this season...

(I wasn't thinking that the gist of my comment was going to be so hard to grasp for a couple of you; my bad on that one.)
