i guess bob was watching a different game than me - i saw a very even
defensive battle that could have
gone either way - the fact that maine had a five on three for a minute and

game  - he must have logged
30 minutes - the fact that he is an all hockey east and all american
defenseman tells what little bob know
about ryan's game
