Re: Maine v New Hampshire
Fossier and Pearson are in the top 10 for hockey east scoring. Fossier leads hockey east in assists. Pearson is third in hockey east for goals scored.
For sure more goal scorers help.
But Maine is 7th highest shots against in the country. Meaning 53 teams have fewer shots against. Maine's save percentage is 17th in the country. However, when combined with so many shots against Maine is 39th in goals against, which is below average.
Maine is also 39th in goals scored. So this implies there is a big drop off in production since our top line is actually decent. It implies the production from the rest of the forwards isn't on par with the production of bottom three lines of the bulk of other teams around the country.
So it seems the weaknesses are the defense allowing too many shots and not as good of depth on the lower three lines.
This weekend's opponent is 10th in the country in goals against, and 11th in the country in goals for. Not a lot of cause for optimism.
