A bit different indeed..
Maine had played either the night before or the Friday before in a wild game
at Merrimack, in which several players were either suspended or injured, to
go along with some existing injuries. So, Maine was extremely short-handed.
The strategy was to play the trap and be overly conservative and try to at
least steal at least a point, which thanks to Alfie Michuad, is what took
place.
