I think that's definitely true, that it was not as entertaining as Maine
has looked in the past.  Not that I cannot appreciate good defense.  But
midway through the game I was thinking, "what a boring game for the viewers
for the first tv game," and then Shawn said what I was thinking before the
third period. :-)

Absolutely...I was very impressed with the way Maine played in a tough
situation.  These were two tough games they had and they got 3 of 4 points.
That has to give them some momentum as they return home.
