Unless I'm misreading this which I don't think I am, it appears HE33 should have used some kind of emoticon to indicate sarcasm for a couple of you.
Say, did you ever get a visit in to the psyche ward? You seem kind of agitated...Course maybe that's just hangover effect from all the thinner you consumed.
I liked your phrase so I added it as my signature...
She gave up two in that game, but it was still one of the best goalie performances I've seen. The ice seemed tilted for long stretches.
Almost every year at least one poster states that one of the 2 semifinals was the "true" championship game, which immediately dismisses and belittles the other team that made the championship game. Comments like this are just another reason that there is some discord between posters here.
How times have changed in just 3 years. Then many here posted complaints that the championship game was only being streamed on NCAA.com and was not on TV (BTN even being mentioned).
Hi everyone, it's been a long time since I have been here, but I wanted to make a few observations. All of this, of course, is my own opinion.
ARD deserved the PK award. 'Nuff said.AMEN
Tiley was the better goalie in the championship game. And she is not getting enough credit for being positioned where she needed to be in that game. I don't think she was caught out of position once in the Championship game. She was square to the shooter, was at the top of the crease when needed to cut down the angles and she closed the 5 hole when the shot required it to be. She made the stops that she had to make (Nurse's breakaway, etc.). She gave up a number of rebounds but, whether by design or by luck, the rebounds were directed away from whichever Badger was coming towards the net. And Clarkson's dmen and forwards cleared a number of rebounds from the slot
It seemed that WI spent more time in their offensive zone than anywhere else. For whatever reason, WI wasn't able to capitalize on their chances.
For being the #2 scoring team this season, Clarkson came into the game with a methodical approach which obviously worked. Maybe that's how they normally play, but it's not like there is a ton of tv coverage where I could see that in action. Actually if you followed Clarkson, all their home games and a number of road games (Colgate/Quinnipiac) were free video on the internet. This is exactly their approach except during the Regular Season they were rarely out shot and spent much more time in the opponents offensive zone than what happened in the title game. Rushes by the defensemen (Harmon especially), Odd man rushes, cycle the puck in the corners until someone gets open in the slot or at the points is their methodical approach. You saw it in the semifinal and in the title game, just not as much as occurred in the regular season.
WI didn't lose, Clarkson won. Yes sir
Yes, and instead of calling it the "Championship Game," you could have posted what your wrote here. Your comment also bring up the point that many times the championship game in any sport is not as well played, exciting, thrill packed, etc., than an earlier tournament game.
