SHU 1/10-11

Quick 5x3 coming up.

Bancroft put a nice shot off the pipe stick-side but it's very frustrating to watch them refuse to take the ice the defense gives them as they trace an umbrella. Watching a new power play on a really odd interference call. Looked like Mack blew a tire and it was called by the official farthest from the action.

As for the stats in the first period, the Cornell shot total obscures how awful the first 16 minutes were. The best play of the period was a bit of hero ball from Castagna that didn't get a shot but did force a trip that set up a power play.

Can we decline power plays?

They need to wear rose garters.

Taking control of draws now.  We've taken 8 of the last 10 or so.

much better period. a lot of possession, a lot of crashing the net. mack is the one guy who is willing to shoot when he's got a B- look and i'd like to see him preach to his teammates. need a little more touch around the net and a bit more passing (and positioning to receive passes) instead of trying to skate through traffic. uncomfortable to go to the third tied but we're clearly establishing ourselves as controlling the run of play but until another one gets behind their goalie...

CT Ice is such a bad name for the UConn/QU/SHU/Yale tournament. Play for the Nutmeg Grater. Call the MVP the Nutmeg Grinder.

That looked awfully close to an overt dive.

Sacred Heart has a Tyler, a Reid, a Cole, a Hunter, and an Aiden.  Somebody got conceived in 2003.

dive looked really bad on the replay but it also looked like bancroft got his hands up a little high - coincidental minors would probably have been justified.

[Trotsky]

To be fair, they also have an Ajeet.

[ugarte]

end of the shu power play looked really bad for us; shane really earned his scholarship.

you have no idea how trendy ajeet was in 2003 on desibaby.net.

AND Mack got away with a swinging elbow! Come on Red. Don't waste a full 5x3.
