Re: RPI Hockey 2012-2013 Part II: You Better Starting Posting the Engineer Way
Yes to Bailen-Leonard...although at one point Curtis carried the puck all the way to the far end boards and I remember thinking "So much for stay-at-home!" Bailen didn't cross the offensive blue line for the first several minutes of the game and I caught him actually back-checking! I'm kidding, he's a great defenseman, but I've gotten so used to seeing him in a more offensive role it was a bit surprising. All of our players seemed to stick to positioning and take our game back to basics especially for the first period, and holy cow it worked. Since the term "puck hog" was being tossed around on here the past few days I paid more attention to that-and it's not just Bailen. I noticed several times yesterday our players held onto the puck too long. I don't care if you pass or shoot, but do something with it-waiting around just leads to turnovers. Mercyhurst's first goal was a good one, Bryce didn't have much of a chance on that. I really thought he had the shooter on their SHG, but he didn't quite get his glove high enough.
Good win for the boys yesterday! Congrats to Luke on his first college point! I hope CJ's okay-glad to see him walking at least in the video, though that certainly doesn't mean anything. Looking forward to tonight!
Oh-and McGowan's goal was sick. Watching live, I thought the puck just banked in off of him. But looking at the replay he clearly read it all the way and got a stick on it-really nice.
