Maine coach (Tim Whitehead’s) keys to the game: “We’ve got to stay out of the penalty box. We have to play well on the special teams and we need to score the first goal.”
You’ll have to score first alright and about 4 other goals vs UML,their record is not good at this time(UML)…but they are a top Team for sure in Hockey East,they have the Goaltending(Carr)and this team is ready to rebound after a tough start…all in all another LONG weekend for Maine….
When you have 2 teams that cannot score or play defense, the goaltending will usually be the difference. Advantage Carr.
