Re: Muskieman Hall of Fame Moment and Other Musings
Tonight was a case of bigger, faster, better, stronger. Union has a good team and we got beat by a better team. It wasn't for a lack of effort and like Tim said above we didn't pack it in when things were looking grim and the boys tried hard all the way through to the end.
I thought the officiating was pretty lousy and in particular in the first period they missed some calls on Union then called one immediately afterward on us one of which Union cashed in on. Also.......I've never seen a game where the linesman got in the way more than they did tonight. They literally stopped the puck in their skates several times, redirected it and generally should have been whistled themselves for "obstruction".
There were some low lights and Union really ground us into the ice in the second period. To our credit we came back hard in the third but we were out manned and Union is very good. Ironically they are good in a very different way than Ylae. Ylae is fast and flashy but Union is big, strong and just grinds you down into the ice. They are going to be a good team and a scary one to play for the next few years.
