Hmmm... remind anyone of Bertrand?

I thought Dick's foible was just that his entire team hated him.

Greg,

I would not call it a "circus".  Only looks that way because others dont do it much in the ECACs.  It worked pretty well in that wild '99 title game with Princeton.

Have you ever played goal?  I have and though I wasn't happy to get pulled, my play usually warranted it when I was yanked.  Goalies have to be thick skinned...more so  than any other position.

Lots of coaches pull their top goalie when he's getting shelled when its the skaters' fault and not their's...as if to say..."If you guys are gonna play like crap, I'm not letting Roy/Richter/Bodeur, etc...stay in there and suffer.

Its an attempt to "shake em up" as you said...does it work?  Probably not usually...

I like the fact that Morris is unconventional at times...playing "by the book"' is overrated!

That said...I hope Walsh plays 60:00 on Saturday!

Actually, that wild 1999 Clarkson-Princeton game was the semifinal.  (I still have the chat transcript of the Princeton equalizer and Wille Mitchell's improbable gamewinner.)  Tech beat SLU in the final.  Princeton beat Clarkson in double OT in the 1998 ECAC title game.  I've actually got a recap by Greg at http://slack.net/~whelan/tbrw/tbrw.cgi?ecac.980325

Of course you are right John...I must have had a brain cramp as I was packing for the trip.  And of course I still feel the pain of the '98 loss! :-D

The '98 and '99 playoff games added a lot of juice to the Tech-PU "rivalry"...and the games are still intense.

I was trying to refer to Grant's great game against SLU in the '99 final.

Thanks again...about to make the 45 min drive to Ithaca now from Bingo.

Hmm....I hear Walsh played well at 'Gate last night...could we have a tight one tonite?  That seems to be Morris's game plan from last night's comments...

LETS GO TECH!!!:-D
