Re: D1 2018-19 scores, discussion, etc
There was an interesting bit in the Wisconsin-Bemidji game today.
With Wisconsin leading 3-0 in the middle of the third period - 10:34 remaining - Bemidji was about to start 39 seconds on a 5-on-3 advantage. So Bemidji coach Jim Scanlon decided to roll the dice, and turn a 5-on-3 into a 6-on-3, by pulling his goalie (!).
The thinking had to be 'score during the two/three man advantage, then convert during the normal 5-on-4, and we're right back in the game'.
It didn't work. Within the first 20 seconds or so, Wisconsin got a zone clear that happened to be on net, and the game was 4-0.
Gutsy move, understandable decision. But still ...
