Re: SLU 2010-2011 - Until Moko Comes Along This Will Have To Do
Great game tonight.
SLU looked pretty darn good. The PK saved the day (they called it VERY tight in the third, and there were one or two calls that had us scratching our heads), and Weninger was the #1 penalty killer. Brian is right: everybody backchecked. Bogosian broke up two plays right in front of the net that both might have been goals if he hadn't busted his *** to get back and take away the pass. He struggled a bit early in the offensive end, and but he skated hard and played defense all night. It was great to see him get the GW.
J. Keller almost scored a couple of times, and having him back will make a difference. Baker was excellent again, as was Hughes. Really, just about everybody made a play at one time or another.
UNH was great in transition, and they moved the puck really well. For the most part SLU did a good job getting in passing lanes. There were a couple of stretches in the second and third where UNH turned things up a notch and gave us a real scare. I thought Weninger was the best player today. He overshadowed what was a very good game by the UNH goalie, in fact.
Exciting stuff - glad I made the trip. It's cool to see what this group is capable of.
