Re: Brown Hockey 2010-2011 - Onward and Upward
Colgate win was a good one. C was frustrated all night by Brown's play. As Kdiff stated it has been awhile since we have seen such control. True, 4 goals against and a PK that is still a work in progress, but the team as a whole must have realized that when they play to their potential - and Brendan has been great in getting that out -they can play well and beat anyone.
Some other comments about the game -
-Harry Z is worth the proverbial price of admission. His second goal was an incredible shot considering the angle he took the shot from. At one point he stood in front of the Colgate goalie as everyone was going to the Brown end after a stoppage in play and I was waiting for the Harry stuff to happen. The goalie pushed Harry away via his facemask but Harry just skated away. Finally, some control.
-I watched Jimmy Siers and Jeff Ryan closely while they were on the ice. Both gave Brown some quality minutes and Brendan seemed to have a lot of confidence in them.
-It was great that each of the 4 seniors got at least one point last night. A solid overall class. Roger saw their potential with his recruiting of them and Brendan got that potential out. While everyone will probably agree that Harry Z will be tough to replace, I think the loss of Fratkin and Brownscheidle is big because those two always did the little things that contribute to Ws. Russell was simply Mr. Steady through his four years and that presence will be missed as well.
