Did anyone notice that this had to be one of UNH's worst teams to play @ Alfond in the last 20 years? AND Maine couldn't even muster a win @ home. One player for Maine this weekend {Hamilton} was more into chirping after the plays and pushing and shoving and spending time in the BOX then playing his position.

Tirone has never lost a game to maine

Yes he was the difference, he was the glue for UNH and he has always had Maine's number.

Was I blind or were all the goals last night scored at the net front either a redirect or off a rebound?

I think people are complaining about not enough set up in the high slot. I think tactically it made sense dedicating bodies down low in order to force Unh to go 180 feet to score. I saw far fewer odd man rushes of the dangerous variety from Unh last night. I think that is the problem, if you have all three forwards low for puck possession, not as many times will you connect on one touches to the high slot.

Pretty hard to score behind the net

Not true. It only seems like it. In January 2015 Maine defeated UNH at Alfond Arena 6-4 with Tirone in goal.

His first collegiate game? Probably not, but among the first couple. Three years later he’s still quite average, but you guys are snake bit when he’s out there. Must be voodoo.

Binner was mentioned favorably..? Wow.

Anyway, just got back from away to study the Saturday game. Two ties looked right to me. Neither team is any better than OK, but both played hard, and the games were pretty fun to watch, if completely meaningless.

How the mighty have fallen! Two completely mediocre teams, going nowhere for years now.

If Hockey East wasn't so miserable this season, neither program could possibly hope for a sniff of the NCAA's, but Hockey East is definitely miserable, and any team that makes the HEA playoffs has a shot at a cheap AQ.

I find that kinda sad, but that's the world we live in. Everybody gets to play, no matter whether they deserve to or not.

I noticed Thiessen was on that list, I hadn’t really known much about him, but after checking out his stats and now seeing this, he is definitely on my radar.
