It's really great when we get to see BC at Yost, and this year we both enter the season with this big game.
The teams come off of opposite exhibition starts, BC won, Michigan lost.
On Michigan's game- lots of effort, decent speed, no slow downs, but bad puck handling (which is pretty common at this point) and some bad shooting lead to one fluky goal, and was not enough to make up for waterloo's 2 oppotune goals. Both of them were good- a defensive breakdown and a great rebound led to #1, and a defensive breakdown lead to a 4-1 chance and #2. No flukes at all.
The power play moved the puck well, but didn't get too many good shots off. Peanlty kill was ok, but wasn't as decisive as one would hope at times.
We still had issues just getting a basic clear, so if BC can jump on that they will get some good chances.
Michigan has a lot of freshman coming in- and may even start one between the pipes (again). The lines started to show some gelling later in the game last night- so it's not as if we are totally distraught.
Hope it's a fun game- BC really brings a lot out in the crowd, which is fun!
