Re: PC - A new start and a new venue
I've got to say it was nice watching all 60 minutes of a game without the distraction of FOF last night...on that note heres a few random thoughts.
-First NU goal was the softest you will ever see gillies let in.
-Aside from being down 2-0 in the first I thought it was a pretty good first period of hockey. Then the refs decided they weren't a part of the game, starting with the boarding call on Acciari. I thought it looked like a pretty good hit but between the ref getting tangled up in the play and the NU player on the ice for a few seconds I think the refs thought they needed to call something. When the play initially happened i didn't think I saw a hand go up, but I might of missed it. From then on the calls became questionable on both sides and the refs started throwing people out of faceoffs and slowed the whole game down. In the long run I think the crap calls slowed down pc's game in the second but luckily help to start the comeback in the third with essentially 5x3 goal.
-Speaking of faceoffs, I'd love to see the percentage won by PC because it sure looked like our offense won everything.
-I'd say 80% of the shots Witt saved were square in the chest. There was a point where he lost his stick with PC putting serious pressure on and he made some great saves, but I'm not overwhelmed by that 52 save game.
-I love Jankowki's game, but last night i thought he held onto the puck too long and tried to get too fancy.
-Our D had alot of turnovers, one I believe led to the second or third goal.
-Mauermann's hustle is amazing. I think thats the second assist I've seen him get this year where he is laid out on the ice and still manages to push it to a teammate for the goal.
-Last thought is extremely random...I love Matthews and I know its the oldest rink in the country, but 1 bathroom? Not to mention some jerk unhinged the doors on 2 of the three stalls last night. What's that all about?
