Maybe a good choice for Anderson as he appeared angry for an extended
period of time near the end of the game, though I have no clue to the
cause of *his* problem.
No shaking hands 2 nights in a row. Where is the class Maine & MC (and
maybe HEA)?

Yea, that was too bad unless he thinks Ponitz will really have a
significant contribution this year (does anyone?).
>Ben Guite ... Mike Garrow and Robert Ek ... were scratched ...
Any knowledgable hockey analysts out there that would care to speak up?
Here's some easy foddle to rebut..
1 Let's hope the defensive emphasis of Saturday night becomes the start
of a trend toward a much better defensive club. A little more stay at
home and a less linger in the opponent's end would be a start.
2 Defensive zone coverage might be an emphasis this week in practice?
3 I wonder if the coaching staff is having the same trouble adjusting to
a team unable to hit as the fans?
4 Maine appears to be giving up late period and late game goals. Anyone
have stats to show that not true or care to say why? I don't buy into
"exhaustion", as the team has been reported to start the season in
great shape .. and 4+ defense should not have a problem in that area.
Anyone keeping stats, including plus-minus? Where are the opponent
goals coming from? Is Maine trying to rely on speed for goals and
defense?
Let's chat, gang!
Maine fan
