hoepfully this link works http://www.bangornews.com/maineblackbears/article.cfm//ID/420127 Strange how Larry Mahoney's fine article found the rival coaches stressing nearly ALL of the points I did in my earlier analysis here, with one critical flaw. Coach Pooley of Providence stressed how important faceoffs were and said Maine was good at faceoffs. He is half right. Faceoffs ARE important, but lately Maine has been faring badly at winning more draws than they lose. Remember, I said they needed improvement from their record on faceoffs against Wisconsin or it could be trouble in the BC contest. I'm excited, but cautious of course. What does everyone else think, or are you all making your way down here to Boston for the game ? Dan
