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

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

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.

It was for intentionally spraying the goaltender. In reality, it was a makeup call for an egregious trip on Maine a minute or so before that both refs missed.

Thank God. If Fergs not right in 2 weeks we’re toast though.

Unbelievable game. No way that game is even close if Ferguson plays. Maine d was beyond anything one could imagine. I thought forward progress should have been the call on the int/fumble.

Offense wins games, defense wins championships.

What a nail-biter that game turned out to be. I was pacing like an expectant father, chugging Maalox right out of the bottle.

After Ferguson went down, the anxiety set in. As Wally said, Robinson is pretty awful, and has been all year. Furthermore, the coaching staff didn't help him out with its play-calling... If Ferguson isn't ready in 2 weeks, Belcher should get the start, because they are indeed toast if Robinson starts against anybody, as BoSox pointed out. And, I wasn't happy with how Coach H reined the D in with the 14 point lead. Happy he let that pack of junkyard dogs go do what they do at crunch-time.

At the end of the day, though, I'm friggin' DELIGHTED! Big, big props to football for heaping fame and glory on UMaine. Home game in 2 weeks seems likely, if not a mortal lock.

I tend to agree with the forward-progress thing, but the young man needed to go down immediately and thus secure the win. Another teaching point for Harasymiak. (I had to change my Depends after that play.)

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 a.

Perez is on the ice!

Wow, guess I shouldn't be surprised. I'm watching without paying attention so haven't noticed him.

Let's play a solid, hopefully penalty free third and grab a W.
