Well, doesn't 16-1 SOG advantage for Maine in the third period tell us a little about how they (finally) opened up their offense last night against the UMass Red Riot. Add to that tally a 1-4 success on the power play, and we can now see how Maine SHOULD be taking it to the rest of the league from this point forward. Coach said in pre-game on WZON he wanted 30 shots, that's what he got, but it was the margin that was most telling. Glad he also recognized that they needed to get more up the mid-slot (third circle) above the crease...they were NOT going to the front of the net much in recent games, either being forced to the boards by the defence or choosing on their own for set plays wheeling mostly from the board side of the faceoff dots. Leveille being back must certainly have helped last night (hard to tell about his playmaking ability from the radio feed, though). Let's face it, though, the two Mass. state schools are NOT that good this year, seems UML was vastly overrated (maybe next year, Blaise). Providence may be more a test than we think in Portland, given their tie last night against BC. Boy, are the Eagles in a rut. Hey, look who is atop HE standings right now !! Does Jackie Parker know how to sandbag, or what ? It looked like a clinic last night on TV seeing their manhandling of Lowell. Great night for TV viewing down here, with both the NESN game on and Ch. 11 showing the game from the Whit. I was juggling those PLUS the WZON Internet feed and listening to Sarandis broadcast of Maine v. Boston College hoops. However, I did miss the fight from Detroit, when an NBA game broke out. Dan
