Alaska @ MSU, Sat 10/23/2010

[mmf]

These two cluster-mates skated to a 1-1 tie last night with the Nooks picking up the extra CCHA point in the shootout. An evenly and well played game. Both goalies played well.

Who steps it up or executes their systems better this afternoon?
No video for me today...just listening to Bruce Cech on the radio.

Greenham in goal for Alaska.
Palmisano for MSU.

Puck drop at 1:05 AST – Afternoon delights...

That was sounding bad. Seemed like MSU was maintaining puck control and the Nooks were back on their heels a bit

 

[mmf]

Re: Alaska @ MSU, Sat 10/23/2010

Nooks sounding diss-shuffled.

Finucci with first Nook SOG in 2nd with about 4:00 left

Nooks need to get out of the second and re-group. MSU is sounding good and the Nooks pretty bad right now.

Offseting penalties - Sather & J. Chelios
4x4
Not what we needed right now.

MSU almost cashes in

Re: Alaska @ MSU, Sat 10/23/2010

Leveille spilts Nook D and has a breakaway - save Greenham
Nooks head back up ice
Penalty MSU

Finally - end of the 2nd
Nooks outshot 18-1 in the 2nd

Sounds like the Nooks were totally dominated & manhandled in the second
Still 2-1 MSU
Greenham has already earned player of the game, unfortunately!

Re: Alaska @ MSU, Sat 10/23/2010

MSU totally controlled the 2nd
MSU could easily have 4 or 5 goals.

But it's only 2-1 MSU...right where we want them...over confident and sore arms from shooting the puck.

Nooks start the 3rd on the PP
Here we go...
