Although I hate to see it, I too think the Bears might drop out of the
top 10 after this weekend.  I don't agree with it but it could happen.
The voters seem to still have some lingering hatred for Maine and its
program due to their prior troubles - it's like they want them to fail.
This is just my $.02 but it's the way I see things right now.  I think
we can solidify a spot in the top 10 if we start to play solid hockey.
This weekend in the Governor's Cup should be a good chance to showcase
their talents - my prediction : Maine over Vermont easily, UNH over UML
in a romp, and then Maine over UNH in a fierce battle that is decided by
a goal.  UMaine and UNH have both been a little soft on the defensive
side of things this year but both are explosive at times (note UNH's
11-4 win over MC and Maine's 12-5 win over BC), whichever team plays the
better D should win any game between these two.
 
Looking to make it 2/3 Governor's Cups....
