I like Cav, always have. I never understood the hire of Mike perreira. Seemed like a nice guy but don’t think he added much to the team. Perruzi seems to be a great addition. The chemistry problem from last year is gone; would love to know what happened but we will never know. I think we all have a few guesses who it might have been. Doesn’t matter now. This team is fun to watch and they are fully capable of winning the tournament. Cheers!

Well said.

Teamwork, sharing the puck vs hogging the puck, all out hustle all the time and a minimum on the stupid 5 minute majors…the antitheses of last years team. There is some real chemistry with these boys!!!
Lace ‘em up again tomorrow night and go all out for 3 more points!

I can’t like this post enough! You nailed it.

There were times in recent years i wondered if the assistants could get into a bar legally.
Bringing in the new coach has assuredly helped immensely. Give credit to Cav for realizing he had to make changes. Wonder if his hands were tied budget wise previously or not. Regardless, the outcome is outstanding.

Whatever formula he has for recruiting in terms of how he got the past couple classes in- well keep on doing it.

Two years ago I trekked to Alfond, where we took five of six points. Deja vu, all over again?

Do I remember correctly you reported on your odyssey then? 6 points at Alford against a top ten team in the middle of January would be beyond awesome!!!

Great start! Very disciplined performance last night.
 
Disciplined, gritty this is a hockey team to get behind. Team is greater than sum of parts and man do they scrap and stay in the moment. So refreshing after last couple years where team never lived up to billed potential.

I found this…it’s from the USCHO fan forum…they have a thread for Maine Hockey. I don’t think they have a Boneyard equivalent.

University of Maine 2024–2025: Freel-ing good - USCHO.com Fan Forum | fanforum.uscho.com

Come on, boys. The first game of the season is already in the books. Let’s get a season thread going. Sick deflection by Freel to close out the rout tonight.

I just read all the comments. Kudos to Maine’s fans for balanced, insightful perspective.

Maine will come out fast tonight. Coach was unhappy with their performance and how they were out worked last night
