While I am not ready to annoit these goaltenders yet, I will say this,
Maine has had better defense corps than this and not done nearly as
well.

It it the total package from a commitment to play defense by the
forwards, to game plans that stress defense and not reckless offensive
play, and goaltending.

These goaltenders are very, very good.  Our defense has played well,
but there are no Chris Imes or Peter Metcalf type player on the blue
line that I see (yet).

-Deron (spelling his own name correctly this time.
