This. Seeing it first hand was fun. They just kept at it. The 'Cats did play with a hint of sluggishness in the first and second, but they turned it back on pretty heavy in the third.

I figured with how both teams were very stingy in allowing goals that it would be a defensive battle, and that's what it turned into.
What I notice more from this team more than any other I watched from 2000 to now, is how much of a puck possession team they are. Passes off the boards to themselves, turning to protect the puck from defenders, not afraid to drop the puck back to a teammate to make a better zone entry. Also, lots of poke checks and stick work when the opponents have the puck to break up the play.
Biggest disappointment from this weekend? They didn't wear the gold jerseys tonight.
This is not good. He's racked up that many penalty minutes in just 12 games played. He took the five and a game in the middle of the second against BU. A roughing and 10 minute misconduct in the second period of the first Saint Cloud game, then turns around and rings up a double minor for boarding in the first period the next night against them. Then follows that up with the five and a game Saturday late in the first when the Cats were already down two goals.
