Watching a game and rooting for Maine is like renting a Rolls Royce for a day; what a luxury! I never felt that they were out of it, even when they were behind 4-2. The second intermission couldn't come soon enough, though. I definitely underestimated LSSU's ability to control the pace of a game with their style, even against a team as good and explosive as Maine. The Lakers and their coach deserve a ton of credit for nearly pulling it off; they're an excellent team. In the end Maine seemed to have the heart and the guns to be able to come back, not to mention outstanding coaching. Hopefully, there was a decent-sized TV audience for the game (if anyone comes across any ratings numbers, I'd be interested) and folks got to see how spectacular and emotional college hockey can be. Perhaps this may lead to more ESPN coverage in future years; we can only hope. It is unfortunate that the game had to compete against the basketball semis. Congratulations to both teams for a superb game! -Glenn
