After losses to UAH and the Friars, Jackson should have ND breathing fire on Tuesday night. But let's focus first on UMass and avoid looking ahead.

A few too many defensive breakdowns and laziness in BU's own end tonight. Shattenkirk, Cohen, and Gryba each lost a puck that led to a breakaway or odd-man rush. Millan came up big several times and so did Dainton. (Millan also got lazy on a dinky pass to a defenseman and should have been beat.) BU dominated play for random 3 or 4 minute spurts throughout the game only to inexplicably give UMass super grade A chances. UMass was more opportunistic than anything and probably would have won by two or three if they didn't wiff on a few yawning nets.

That being said, the powerplay was pretty sharp except for that last opportunity late in the third. I really, really liked the Megan-Trivino-Chiasson line... created a lot of chances for themselves- lots of skill there. Bonino was the best player of the ice, I thought. In the second period he went in alone between the right dot and the slot and got stoned but other than that he played great both ways. Nicastro and Escobedo were paired together toward the end of the game and played well.

that late PP disturbed me more than anything. in crunch-time there were inexplicable mental mistakes, passes to no one, guys running into one another which made for by far the worst PP of the night. the fact that it came in the final minutes while down 1 was something that lingered with me on the way home.

To be honest, I was expecting a slow start for this team, but because of the underclassmen and returning players that had to move up to bigger roles in the depth charts. Veteran mistakes are more inexcusable and unexpected, but hopefully simple to correct.
