game goal nice offensive score
It would be nice to get a shutout, but I'll take one goal every game. We've got the offensive firepower to score more than one goal a game. Hopefully, I'll keep it rolling.

It was a huge factor. Maine is always in the NCAA Tournament. I remember going to Florida for Easter weekend when I was a kid and didn't know what college hockey was all about. I watched Maine play in a Frozen Four. Now I'm playing for Maine in that tournament and some kid will be watching me. That's pretty exciting.
