Swayman had a nice game, anyway. Red's recruiting ensures that he gets plenty of work.

God, it's been very frustrating to watch this team. Tonight was honestly a joke.

The entire Red era has been a lukewarm joke, let's face it.

I thought Maine carried the play for much of the game. The shot totals were surprisingly high on both sides. Swayman of course looked great. The game could have gone either way, as could tomorrow's.

Sadly you live by the penalty you go down in defeat a high % of the time...

Really glad I didnt drop $30 to go watch that game. The garbage with not being abe to stay out of the box stopped being funny like 2 years ago. Get it the F together.

Does there have to be one period a game where they get outshot by 10?!? That is NOT normal and speaks to god awful preparation.

Its scary at times to watch...frustrating to NO end...might sound negative but when you watch the game and root for the team and get this over and over it just stops being fun.

Re: UMaine '18-'19: Back to the Nationals!

You guys are harsh, they only had 7 penalties, thats well below their average per game. Baby steps
I watched the Celtics instead, far more entertaining

Re: UMaine '18-'19: Back to the Nationals!

Maine did play well at times but struggled against BU's defense and Oettinger. Could possibly win tonight if BU is not ready. Maine still looking for first road win (0-4-1). BU's three PP goals did them in.

Glad I missed it. Mountains have snow. It's better I go ski now... because as you say, watching Maine hockey has stopped being fun.

Much more interested in other UM sports today. Football @12 noon vs. Elon (Fox College Sports Ch.373 Spectrum/CW Ch.12 Spectrum) and even Men's Basketball @ 2:00pm vs. NC State on ESPN+ (http://www.espn.com/watch/_/id/34531...ne-vs-nc-state)

I’m not sure you were at the game but it was anything but a joke. Maine had one penalty up until about 11:00 of the 2nd period. Then sadly boom boom boom, three in a row. The unsportsmanlike was not clear at all. Even BU fans around us were scratching their heads. Maine played much of the 2nd with no purpose but played a very good 3rd. They coughed up the puck multiple times in their O end in the 2nd- inexcusable. Doherty’s goal to tie it at 2-2 was a beauty. The Perez elbowing penalty right after that was totally needless and stupid. I’ll be disappointed and surprised if he dresses tonight. Again with a Perez bad penalty. ***? Does this kid not get it? Swayman was very “on” last night BTW.
Bottom line- these are two .500 teams that played a good hockey game last night. But I’m sick and tired of losing. We shall see what tonight brings.

To be clear, the penalty calling last night was chippy and cheap both ways Sh***y little calls for the most part except for Perez in the 3rd.

Re: UMaine '18-'19: Back to the Nationals!

Perez keeps getting starts even though he is good for a PK every game and generally a PP goal for other team. He won't play tonight and it won't matter as he will play next game and do it all over again.

Football up 14 10 after 1st half. Ferguson out and whoever the 2nd string qb is in. He looks not so good. If he starts second half I see Elon winning.

I watched the entire game but I didn't mean it was a joke in terms of how they played. I actually do think they played well, outplaying BU 5 on 5 most of the game. It was a joke because of them being sunk once again by penalties in a game they could have or should have won.
