St. Lawrence 11/16

[Dafatone]

Wonder if the lineup changes we saw Saturday will be repeated?  Craig was involved in several altercations.  He and de Swardt seem like a push.  Schafer implied in the pregame that Hilbrich was benched for "not showing up" Friday.  I didn't notice much of Buckles (as opposed to other games).  I'm not sure I heard Schafer correctly but if so then the Lowry center experiment has been deemed a failure.

It may go without saying given the scoresheet that Lowry, Mowrey and John McCarron were outstanding, but I'll say it anyway.  And what about Ferlin finding the net?  Cool beans, Brian.  But for a cymbal crash of a crossbar he'd have had our first hat trick in 34 months.

I was surprised to see Hilbrich benched, but the only game I've seen so far besides Saturday night was the 2nd UNO game.  I thought he looked impressive, but maybe he's just so noticeable since he's huge.  Either way, sending a message apparently worked.

Not commenting on if his benching was deserved or not but I've alwyas thought the Hilbrich was one of those players who played to about half his size. A big guy who never seems to use his size to the full advantage.

From the bits of him I've seen, he's good at taking up space and letting opponents bounce off him, but he uses his size more passively than actively.  He's better than I expected with the puck.  Not a bad guy to have and see how much further he can develop, but he doesn't play like he's huge.

That a very good way of summing it up.
