>What is interesting beyond the news is Coach's comment >that "next year's team should be better". Where ? How ? >What needed improvement ? Maine will be *significantly* better next year, IMHO. With only 3 or 4 completing eligibility, the team will be older, more experienced. 2, maybe 3, of the new players next year may be better goal scorers than anyone that is now playing. Maine dominated for periods tonight, yet allowed many "Grade-A" opportunities for for MC, mostly coverage chances, IMHO. A more experienced Maine won't make those same mistakes next year ... and maybe not later this year. cheers, wayne Wayne T.
