Even when the Massachusetts season started its downward turn and more recently when the team dropped games to Boston University and Boston College by the scores of 7-2 and 8-0, I still felt confident that the team would at least be able to get one conference win when Maine visited this weekend. After all, Maine is one of the worst teams in the country. In addition having one of the most ineffective offenses in college hockey this Black bear team had won exactly zero games away from Alfond Arena. So it seemed logical that at worst UMass would manage a split. But for the second night in a row Maine dominated in terms of possession and grabbed the narrow 5-4 win. The sweep at the hands of the Black Bears means the Minutemen are now in sole possession of last place in Hockey East.

Fear The Triangle will always be free. But there is some investment associated with providing first-hand coverage of UMass hockey. Specifically, domain hosting, travel, game streams, and ticket costs all add up. Not to mention the hours spent every day reading and writing about UMass hockey. I'll continue to do this for the foreseeable future even if it runs me into financial ruin (it won't, I think) and my wife divorces me (hopefully just as unlikely). But if you enjoy what you read here and want to show your support, here is a link to contribute to FTT via PayPal.
As always, thanks for reading!
