interesting to see if the shot totals reflected the control of the game.

Yes. If Scrivens plays the whole game, it's probably a 3-1 win.

Biggest surprise may have been Jillson's play. He made some moves in the first period that were beautiful. He had a couple of near misses in the third. It'll be interesting to see what the team does with him when P. Kennedy's back. The second line could be very interesting -- although Gallagher doesn't skate like Topher, he's got that point guard mentality.

Morin was the USA's best player -- how does a kid from Auburn not want to wear a Big Red jersey. :-/ Murray was probably a close second -- he kept the game close. The other quasi-local kid, D'Amigo was a pest around the net on the pp in the first, but otherwise he wasn't very noticeable. Valek was fun to watch -- a big kid who has a phyisical edge to his game.

For practice #2, it was a very nice effort.

I thought we played a great game considering only 1 practice with the coaches. All aspects of the game were working. It helps that we have a group of guys that can work together on the PP. Speaking of the PP, we hardly ever tried to work the big slap shot from the blue line. We really tried working the puck around. Penalty kill was very good.

Overall we really controlled the play. Considering how many games the 18's have played, I'm quite happy. They did beat Union and RPI, but RPI also lost to Bentley tonight. ::doh::I didn't see the 5 min major, did anyone?

I expect Davenport might share the duties with Scrivens next week. The frosh really seemed to mesh well with the team. My only downside is that Greening is still taking stupid penalties. That's got to stop, oh and Cornell needs to get up to speed and have room on their stat sheet for 4 officials.

Very good crowd on both sides of the rink.
