Couple things:
Burgdoerfer's penalty in the first was obvious (to me) as he grabbed the Brown player up around the shoulders/neck and rode him into the boards. I chalked that up to obvious. He also seemed to get away with a hit from behind later on - I was convinced he was going to get busted and sent off for it but hey, whatever.
The advantages to Brown being a boring dump and chase trap team is that while there wasn't any sustained attack time in the third for RPI... Brown didn't really have any either save for one flurry late in the third. Just two teams dumping in, chasing after. Rinse, repeat.
RPIs timeout in the first was another "light a fire under the team" timeout as the power plays were spent dicking around, being cute and losing puck battles. These are the things you have to do with a young and very talented group, you have to tell them that sometimes the talent alone isn't going to let them coast.
Solid win though - time to get things done up north.
