This is my first posting of the season... I'm starting to get out from under the preseason grading... some observations... 1. 41 players on the roster, I think the biggest Maine has ever had... most of them "rawww" recruits... they looked a bit tense, especially the 4 goalies, but hey, what do you expect when this is the first time they've taken the ice this year and in front of 3500 fans at 12 midnight! 2. A couple of freshman to watch -> I was impressed with the Cardenal kid and the Shemmerhorn kid (the spelling's probably wrong)... Cardenal is really fluid out on the ice... I predict a 20 goal season from him... the other kid seems more of a Salfi type... lot's of energy... 3. It's interesting that Gwinn's wearing 93 and Cardenal's wearing 85. I think this is the first time Maine's going to the football numbers. I guess that's because they've got a football team size roster. Anyone out there know whether other teams give out "big" numbers like this?
