He also was one of the guys directly responsible for the first goal. He had a number of passes picked off or misfired, and a couple bad decisions in pinching that led to dicey situations, although none of them resulted in a goal.
I've been a huge Parenteau supporter, but he did not look good last night and he has been making some mistakes the past month or so that I would not have expected from him.
It will be interesting to see how the line-up shakes out that first game of the NCAAs. Like others, I didn't really care for the line combos against CC. I'd like to blame the loss on it, but that's silliness. That train wreck of a 5-min PP was all the evidence needed to show that the "big guys" were not present the way they needed to be to give MN a chance to win.
I think my biggest complaint with the line-up, though, was Serratore being moved off of that 4th line. He plays hard, and he plays well, so I can understand the temptation to move him up. But that 4th line of Serratore-Michaelson-Holl has been such a spark plug for the Gophers. It wasn't the same against CC.
Those 3 have really struck a chord chewing up the opposition's bottom couple of lines. I'd like to see them stay together and continue that.
