thought there were a couple long stretches were we really dominated.. NK has some quick kids and that caused some issues at times.

NMU is fearless and reckless with their speed. Just using their bodies as projectiles, if that's what's needed. It makes me a little scared of injuries tonight, to be honest. We dodged a couple bad injuries last night, and our getting caught up in flying bodies led to the two majors, if you ask me.

I follow Adam on twitter, and he's getting apoplectic about the trend of officials reviewing for majors when nothing is initially called, and I have to say, I'm coming around to that point of view. It's getting ridiculous.

As last night's game crept towards three hours, I laughed thinking of the "speed up the game" effort around the 2002 Olympics. 15 seconds from whistle to draw and games at 2:00-2:05. Media timeouts help lengthen the game but the reviews are total momentum killers.

really felt like both the hits that went uncalled on them for knee shots were worse than both majors we got..  one of ours i get it was along the boards and we knocked the kid in the other not really sure it was something that doesnt go uncalled 10x a game.

there are multiple refs for a reason and if they both dont see even a penalty live on plays around the puck then what are they  there for..  if they want to confirm a major from a minor at least they saw something.

different if its on calls away from the puck

And where has Joe Leahy been? He played that one game and scored that pretty goal, but the seventh defenseman has been Cairns ever since.

Cairns seems to have settled down as a dependable 19.  I'm not complaining, though Leahy has shown that nice offensive touch in his few games, which could have been useful.

I think Leahy may simply be exploitable by good teams and we've played a string of them.  We may see him again with SLU, Brown, Yale, and Princeton.

That's kind of my sense. He's a step—only one—behind, but he has a bigger offensive upside than Cairns. Big shot, if I'm remembering correctly. I just wondered if he was injured.

And like that: Leahy in tonight.
