BC's got a lot of jerkoff fanz...fivehole and coupla others excluded.

I feel slighted.

Re: NoDak @ Maine Oct 22 / 23

Are there any Maine fans for whom the Sioux aren't a second-favorite? They won a lot of fans in Orono with their gesture in 2000 and the tribute to Walsh in 2001. I don't think Maine could've asked for a classier opponent those nights.

I have lived in Grand Forks for the last 10 years. I was born and Raised in Maine. I would definalty say I want UND to win every game they play except when they play Maine or if them winning hurts Maines chances at a NCAA bid

They're less of a favorite after last night.

Less of a favorite because you wished they'd put up a better fight last night?

Because they didn't hug and kiss after the game like Hockey East teams customarily do after a game.

I agree...the Sioux are by far my second favorite college hockey team. Didn't they auction off those Walsh Jerseys after the game. Definitely should have gotten one. Might need one of their away jerseys before the logo goes extinct. However for tonight...Go Maine!!

Is it a requirement for HE refs to be blind?

Re: NoDak @ Maine Oct 22 / 23

It was bad enough the refs being incompetent last night when it didn't even matter. But Jesus, why do they have to make horrible call after horrible call in this game? Is it really that difficult to be a ref?

Good series from a talented Maine squad. Nice couple of wins, congrats.
Maybe these two squads will meet again later in the season with more on the line.

As for UND, time to head home for a series. Finally.

Well, that was not what I was expecting. We played a much better game tonight than last night, but ultimately it's the same result.

Congratulations Maine, you completely deserved the sweep. You played better than North Dakota, plain and simple. I could go on a rant about the officiating, but I won't. Maine deserved both wins.

For the Sioux, we need to regroup. We played better defensively tonight, but still need to work on our PK and PP situations. Ultimately that is where we lost this series. Up next is back to WCHA action and the Denver Pioneers. I'm personally excited because it will be my first time back at the Ralph since 2006.

Re: NoDak @ Maine Oct 22 / 23

A few things I took away from watching this game on TV:
- None of the goals were soft in my opinion. Both goalies were excellent tonight.
- It was the first time in a LONG time I saw Maine crash the net at both ends. Looking for garbage goals in the offensive end and blocking the shooting lanes in the defensive.
- It wasn't 100% of the time, but I liked how Maine played between the blue lines.
- Last, but certainly not least, I was really happy to see Maine didn't give up on the second night of a two night weekend especially after winning so handedly the night before.

When the season first started and Maine was picked to finish high in Hockey East I was pretty skeptical, but after watching tonight and hearing how they played last night and in the first game against MSU I now have a good feeling. We just need to stay healthy...

Really?? No Dak just got swept by a superior team. Don't sound like a cry baby.

Congrats on the great weekend Maine.

A couple of badly needed W's against the WCHA that will help out multiple HEA teams come PWR time.

Thanks dad. The refs sucked this whole weekend and UND was on the short end of the stick of most of those calls. Maine fully deserved to win both games, but that doesn't mean I have to be happy with the way UND got hosed by the refs.

Meh, don't pop too big of a chubby, UND played down a level this weekend. That said, the Sioux didn't deserve a win. I hope we meet again later in the year.
