UNH (  :24):  Lind; I'm not sure what the penalty was for, I was

UNH (19:33):  Souz; goalie interference
UNH (19:33):  Bench minor; served by Walsh
UNH (19:49):  Krog; for roughing
ME  (19:49):  Walsh; roughing
 
 
Goalies:  Maine - Michaud
          UNH - Matile (pulled at 18:40 in the third period)
 
Attendance:  wasn't announced -- I'd guess between 2,500 and 3,000 people;
the place was less than half full.
 
Officials: Referee - Doiron; Linesmen - Zanetti and Simpson.
The officiating was pretty decent; they let them play for most of the game.
The calls definitely went Maine's way in the second period.  I think that
Maine got away with too many men on the ice a couple of times early on in
the game.  UNH got away with a hooking call late in the third period.  I'm
no expert, but Brendan Walsh had someone's stick wedged under his face mask
-- I'd certainly call that SOMETHING!!
 
Shots On Goal:  If you go by the scoreboard it was 0-0 for the game.  They
didn't announce this.  They barely even sounded the buzzer at the end of
the periods.
 
Dan and Lindsay's Three Stein awards (Maine players only!!)
 
#3:  Steve Kariya (his second goal was a work of art, and reminded me of
big brother Paul.
 
#2:  Alfie Michaud (he was really on his game, and picked up an assist on
Maine's first goal!!).
 
#1:  Shawn Walsh (UNH definitely had the momentum after the late goal in
the second period; wonder what he said to the boys during intermission!!)
 
Other Comments:
 
Maine should easily beat UVM or Lowell tomorrow night; let's hope after
tonights big win against UNH they don't take either team for granted.
 
The Tsongas is a great place to watch a game; not a bad seat in the house.
The acoustics definitely leave something to be desired; had a difficult
time hearing the announcers.
 
There was a small, but vocal contingent of Maine fans at the game.  I think
the team and Coach appreciated it (they high fived the crowd at the end of
the game).  Let's hope there's a bigger turnout of Black Bear fans at
tomorrow nights game.  Lowell isn't THAT far from Orono.
 
Dan and I will be at the brewery tomorrow afternoon before the start of the
Championship game.  It's only a few blocks from the arena.  Any Maine fans
coming down -- feel free to join us.
 
Until tomorrow evening......
 
M-A-I-N-E  --- GOOOOOOOOOOOO BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
