Personally, I think what really needs to get into "game shape" for Maine are
the defensive coverage patterns in front of Jimmy Howard and the skills of
the Maine power play.

No excuses need be given, imho, for Howard's play between the pipes,
notwithstanding the ailments he may be recovering from.

If one needs to find a "medical" reason for Maine's spotty play of late,
look no further than Michel Leveille's shoulder.

Tonight is a very good test for the boys at Orono.

How long do you think I will be able to stand the WEEI feed of tonight's
game, from the BC perspective,  rather than going with the more cumbersome
Maine feed over the internet ?
