Maine, 3-2 in OT I had said earlier "Can you say 6-5?" Well, except for two outstanding goaltending efforts, 6-5 or 9-8 would have been a more likely score for this one. Absolutely standing-on-your-head play by both Conklin and Michaud. That includes two pipe ringers by Maine in regulation play. Outstanding game with up and back action, great scoring opportunities, better goaltending, and despite all that, not all that bad defense. Its one of those games where you hate to see the other team lose no matter who you are rooting for. And my pet peeve during all this: The meaningless statistics they keep giving us like "Maine is 10-2-1 when leading after 2 periods." Well, Duh! When you win most of your games, you aren't going to be down going into the 3rd period all that often. Yet these kind of things are thrown around like they are some kind of deep analysis of the game of hockey. But I digress. Congratulation University of Maine Black Bears.
