BC @ Maine

[claver2010]

BC starts its time of exile from Conte with a trip up to gorgeous Orono for two. Maine is an interesting team this year:
1) Lost its first three games of the year: 2 against Union and one against MSU
2) Recently has won 3 out of 4, beating a good UVM team, BU and splitting against NU.

Overall they are tied for sixth in HE, 4-6-0 (3-3-0). Averaging 3.2 goals/game and giving up 3.8.

Some important players to watch are:
1) Gustav Nyquist a sophomore from Sweden leads their team in points and did as a freshman as well
2) Adam Shemansky, a freshman, leading their team in goals thus far.
3) Darling, is their #1 goalie who is an average HE goalie.

BC should want at least 3 from this weekend as they look to separate themselves from the middle of HE. Need the young D to clear the crap out from infront of Muse, which has been my main complaint this year. We'll see if Muse plays both this weekend.

I'm thinking 3 points should be expected. Then again I expected 3 points against UVM, and puck luck didn't break in our favor in the second game. You're right, Claver, separating ourselves from the middle of HE would be a good outcome of this weekend.

I like BC hockey.
