first of all...congratulations go out to Doug and Barrett for getting
invitied, and lets hope they have some fun and make Maine fans proud.
Yes their absence creates a hole, but only in their physical presence
out on the ice.  Don't get me wrong, Doug and Barrett are awesome
players, but the offensive chances really just haven't been there for
them.  With Doug and Barrett out of the line-up for a few weeks, now
could be the time that a few other players step up and take command,
like the players on the #3 and 4 lines, or maybe even some of our more
"unknown" players will get their chance on the ice (Magnus,
Shaneberger, Boudreau, Dimitrakos).  Defense will do fine.  Robert Ek
will be back soon, so it's not like we are going to miss anybody.  Eddy
Wood showed this past weekend that he can play well, and Anders and AJ
Begg are starting to pick it up a little bit.
So don't worry about our team....we will do just fine!!!
