Beautiful snipe Richie Boyd!!!! Go 'Cats!!

UNH fights off two back to back penalties by MacAdams but leaves a man uncovered for Maines equalizer. Any thoughts on the first?

MacAdams picks up two more minors on one play in the second, matching Vela's 2017-18 record of four in one game...

Edit - they changed the call. One minor to Salvaggio. Still 20 mins for MacAdams to chase history...

Well, since I thought UNH would get swept upta Maine, they exceeded my expectations with two points. UNH takes the third meeting this year at home to win the season series.

I feel the same way...2 points works. I thought we battled and hung tough. Looking forward to the next one. Go 'Cats!

I watched the third period last night and off and on tonight since I was focused on the Bruins game. Simple observation is that Maine is no great shakes, they skate in spurts and really don’t have anyone who makes you scream out “watch him.” Sounds like UNH, which never got their PP set up correctly and got “what was that” goals tonight from Boyd and Kelleher (his went off a defenseman’s stick). Good that UNH hung in there on a weekend which was a big deal up in Orono. They got two points but part of me wishes that the had won and lost to get it. They still haven’t won a game since the beginning of December, UConn and UVM the next two of the next three weekends. Now or never I’m afraid.

Two points from two ties on the road, good. Coming back from 3rd period deficits on both nights, good.

But no W's for almost two months now. Now or never time for the NRN is definitely approaching, no doubt.

Odds for a successful ending to The Quest are going to take another hit, I'm afraid ...

Before we begin rejoicing about four upcoming games with yummy HE cupcakes Yukon and UVM on the shelf, need to acknowledge that even cupcakes can have their days (nights), with those two in particular showing us that they may not be so yummy after all.

Well considering the fact that we haven't beat Yukon in the past two seasons and UVM pretty much the same, I am not looking at them as cupcakes. Time for a W 'Cats...sooner than later at this point!!! The UVM weekend is Alumni weekend, and, the Coach U bobblehead giveaway. (I think) Yep now or never to gain any possible ground in HE.

If UNH plays like they did upta Maine they will get some much needed W's over the next two weekends!

Would totally agree. We've got UConn this weekend, then NU/UMass the next before we hit Vermont. There's points there in this mix for the taking; but which team will show up to earn them? NU is going to be the toughest but at this point, anyone is winning it seems!! I say we get 4 out of this; IF we can sustain some offense. I think UNH did a decent job this weekend; beats losing. Of course the quest/march opps are dwindling. From the Bangor Daily News:

Lookin' back, it appears that the Big Green is not the cupcake that we thought they were.

Three weekends, e.cat, three weekends. :-)

The additional feature of whether UNH will get a 10 goal scorer? Looks like UNH's leading scorer will have lowest goal totals since 1964-65. Latest close title was 2012-13, with three 15 goal scorers, and 17 in 1987-77.
