Good to see Black Bear fans excited about their team again.

Good weekend for Maine Hockey Teams @ BU.... Men's 3-0 win and the Women's team pulled off two wins over BU 4-1 and 3-2.

Maine is currently #18 in the PWR. How are they "a long ways off from an at-large bid"? Because you say so?

Because they need to move-up 6-7 spots or so, and there's a lot of moving parts involved.

But, yeah, Maine has a shot for the first time in years, and I'm so good with that.

Maine is very lucky to have some PWR worthy opponents left on the schedule with NU (2), Providence (1) & BC (3). 5 of those 6 are on the road so it won't be easy.

PWR won't settle down much until February, just win. Never thought playing Brown would be important. Don't be thinking about NU this weekend.

Maine handled Brown pretty easily last year (5-1 IIRC) and has an improved team this year so they cannot be thinking ahead to league play and not get these two road points. Gotta stay focused.

Just looked at the box score, McGovern played pretty well in that spot last season (28 saves, 1 GA), but I have a hard time thinking Gendron will go to him tonight.

Did Maine play at Brown once mid-week back in the glory days and struggle? I thought they went down there and tied or something like that. I could be misremembering.

Not sure. Maine is 11-2-0 lifetime against Brown.

What I found regarding "away games" vs Brown:

11/25/80 W 9-1

3/1/83 L 2-5

11/24/00 W 6-2

The only other loss to Brown was a 7-8 OT loss at the Alfond on 3/2/82

WT frick? Did you guys start cheating again?

From a pairwise perspective it isn't. Maine will remain 18 with a win and only drop to 21 with a loss. However, with a loss to UConn and a tie with Vermont already, a loss to Brown would be embarrassing and kill any momentum the team has. Win tonight then get ready for the weekend.

No, we just have Steve Cedorchuk coach the opposition.

Anyone know when the last time Maine had a ranked team? I'd dig but I'm trying to look reasonably productive at work today.
