> Here's a look at another one of UMaine's Defensemen.  And his contributions this season.
>
> Maines record before he had his first * (no stats for games at alaska) "minus night" (meaning a night where he ended up -1 or worse): 15-1-2
>
> His personal +/- at that point = +21
>
> Maine's record since his first "minus game" = 9-8-2
> His +/- in those games = -9
>
> Maines record since the last time this player finished the night +1 or better: 4-7-1
> His +/- in those games = -15
>
> His +/- in games Maine has LOST THIS SEASON= -15
> His +/- in games Maine has WON THIS SEASON= +27
>
> He's taken a lot of abuse for his bad turnovers and the outcome its showed in those games.  I think these numbers back that up perfectly.  I know this is kind of like a chicken or the egg type deal but having seen most of these games people will
> agree that it was the turnovers that led to the losses not the losses that let to the "minuses"
>
> Congratulations Mr. Francis Nault!
>
> His last "plus" game was a +2 in the 4-4 tie with Lowell at home on January 25th.  His first "minus" game was the game at PC the game they lost after returning from Florida.
>
> I'll let you decide what you think of those numbers.  At this pace I'll have made a case for every Maine D-Man to be benched the rest of the way:)
