Brown vs. Cornell 2/16

[BearLover]

Play our game, stay outta the box.

Back. At. The GRIND.

There continues to be a complete dedication to earning the puck in every zone from the bottom of the lineup to the top.  There might have been one legitimate hit last night (Bancroft leveling that guy behind the net) but they use their strength and size to take advantage of every situation.  In the offensive zone this workman like mentality created a dozen or so Grade A scoring chances.  In the D zone they snuffed out just about everything that Brown could muster before they could even attempt shots.  Most of the Brown chances against came from poor puck management on the part of Cornell.  Would have been nice to cash in on one of those earlier chances but they never changed their approach.  I thought the Walsh goal could serve as a nice reminder to their future power plays that sometimes no shot is a bad shot.  There did seem to be less of looking for the slam dunk and more straight forward on the one power play they had.  What a beautiful sequence on the Stanley goal.  I thought Walsh was in a scoring position but that little pass opened things up and the stay at home D man walked right in and picked his post, I mean corner.  What a shot!  One of my favorite parts of the game was to see how much Schafer trusts his entire lineup to generate offense.  Twice in the third period the fourth line (with the converted D man Mosko playing wing) was out there for offensive zone face offs.  Pretty important depth for a team with growing postseason aspirations.

Huh, why was Mosko playing wing? Did someone get injured during the game?

Pretty sure he was the extra skater.  He did take a turn or two on defense earlier

Yes, Devlin went out with an injury.

Watch it in real time, then at half speed.  Some really great passing.

There's  this now,  too.

I'm guessing we don't want to watch this one at half speed.

You both have poopy pants.  I love Tim and Grady.

I'll own up to that. I hate being a hater and spreading hate. Couldn't help it. *edit* Can't stand repetitive phrases.

Why is Grady talking about crowd size with 2 minutes to go and Brown's goalie pulled? He has been a lot better lately with the tangents but this one was inexcusable.

At least Grady's tangents are short and hardly detract. I'll take anything he cares to mention about any day of the week over Tim "No Doubt About It" Vanini's drawn-out, repetitive ramblings that almost never add any useful information and is borderline homer. I mute the feed anytime he starts talking.

They're both fine. Grady just needs to eliminate the tangents. It was truly bizarre that, with the game hanging in the balance, Grady launched into a minute-long discussion about last weekend's attendance.

I either didn't notice just because he's easy to listen to or, also likely, had skipped well into it after Tim started talking during stoppage? ::whistle::
