M-A-I-N-E... Gooooooooooooooooooo Blue!

OK, so now you know. I didn't get outside much this past beautiful weekend.

But I did find time to plunk my butt down in front of the tube to watch the University of Maine Black Bear men's hockey team...

Friday night, after giving up an early and easy goal, the Bears played tight and fast and pummeled the St. Cloud State Huskies 4-1.

On Saturday night our boys took care of business again with a convincing 3-1 victory over the UMass Minutemen to win the NCAA East Regional and advance to the Frozen Four in two weeks in St. Louis.

Congrats to our Black Bears for their grit. You got a second chance with a berth in the NCAAs. You played like you wanted it. With the usual calm and class. Coach Whitehead should be proud.

This UMO alum ('84 and '86G) sure is!

Now go on to St. Louis and do it again. You've got the fire in you. Bring us home another national championship!

GO BLUE!!!

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming, er, blogging...
