i agree whole heartedly with Jim....that game was the most amazing...i
mean you couldn't even hear the kid sitting next to you and after when
we won and they all skated out to the middle of the ice and threw their
sticks in the air to thank us..was great..it was especially cool that
coach walsh came out to thank us too...it is so important to have this
kind of enthusiasm for all of our games..this weekend ought to be
exciting too..BC..come on its our turn to gain revenge for tarnishing
our record...i can now say that i have truly experienced what a umaine
hockey game is supposed to be like....all of us fans should keep up the
hype for the rest of the season because this is crunch time and they
need fans like that for the long haul.....GO BLACK BEARS......
