    St. Lawrence should be easy, but those are also their first games back in their arena and I’m sure they’ll be fired up. Where they are ranked so low any slip up will kill Maine. Northeastern is ranked pretty low, in the thirties last I checked, but they’re not horrible and Maine always struggles at Matthews. I’d be happy with a split there but that probably hurts Maine in the pairwise. I’d snap someone’s hand off if they offered me even a point in Amherst. All in all I think there is much more to be lost than gained and even if Maine goes say 4-2-1 they’re behind where they are now.
    SLU pushed back their arena opening date, the games against Maine will still be at SUNY Canton and not Appleton.

      2-13-1 and 0-6 since winning on Senior Night in 2017.

      Maine should have 12 wins when UNO comes to town to start the New Year.

        Wow whoahhh woowww. Pump those brakes.

        We need a win at Matthews first.

        Then we can see what we have. But to overlook this opponent is dumb.

        No matter how good you think we are... we need dig down and get at least one win in Matthews.

            I think in my heart the second line of jss/poisson/dawe will end up or top line. The skill, while young, is amazing.

              Sweep St Lawrence, defeat Yale and AIC and win just one of four at Matthews or Mullins? That should be doable.

                • just clear net front. Then when we have power play give 18 shorter stick and park him three feet out of net front. Then play on power play but make all shots one inch off ice to the goalies blocker. Then forwards crash. 18 will block goalies eyes.

                    No you don't. Of the two games at Matthews AND two games at Mullins the Bears just need to win one. They beat UMA last year when they were ranked #2 in the country.

                      Hmm.. you are advocating we lose? 🤠

                      I know. I got you. But f, we haven’t won there in a very long time. Can’t you look outside stats for a moment? If we get one win it is good enough for me.

                      No?

                        I'm saying to get to 12 wins they don't HAVE to win at Matthews, which they haven't done since 2012. As opposed to Mullins, where they swept in 2018 and 2016.

                        As for looking outside the stats, I have to maintain a modicum of impartiality in my position.

                            Next 8 games: split with NU, sweep SLU, lose 2 with UMass, beat Yale, and finally home game win versus AIC...5-3-0.

                              No. Win.

                              No politics. Just win.

                                Not all of us live in a fantasyland where Maine wins every game it plays. Even downing Allen's 24/7 won't make you that delusional. You must have moved on to harder stuff.
