Come on.  Implying the goalie lost the BC game is like worrying about
nosebleed when the patient has an artery gushing blood.  Yes, the 3rd
goal was a gift (Howard gets the puck out in the corner and does a
corner-to-corner pass, interrupted by the back of his goal; BC scoops up
the loose  puck and tucks it in the open net), but one goal was
deflected right in front of him, and the other goal was nice snap shot
between the faceoff dots.  Howard was going down in the butterfly, but
the puck was perfectly in the five hole and just quick enough to get
through.

Now, where is the offense going to come from?   It hasn't been there
against the better teams, IMHO.

Having your goalie & defense to hold the opposition to 0 or 1 goals may
be a "goal", but it's going to be tough to have a winning record that way.

I don't know how you add scoring to the mix, but Maine seems to have
some good new players, so maybe it will be possible?

cheers, wayne
