From my vantage point on the second goal (granted, not the best seeing as it was from section 33), it looked like York got run over / tripped / interfered with in a significant manner, leading to a wide open net.

But, with the lack of effort that the Engineers showed until they were down 2-1, it is very difficult to imagine this game turning out in any other fashion. Let's hope they show up tomorrow energized and ready to win.

I just saw the replay of the goals on Ch. 13...Peter Merth is going to have a sleepless night after seeing his lack of effort/intensity/motivation on the 1st goal....nothing he did tonight resembled defense. If that's all Peter's got to offer us, then park his butt and give me Zarbo...at least I know a) he'll be hungry on the ice...and b) he is capable of releasing a shot sometime before the cows come home.

I can't stomach much more of Jerry getting hammered and our guys not getting a pound of flesh. I FAR prefer killng off 2 minutes after delivering a message, then killing 2 for Pirri running his mouth.

One of the guys in my section mentioned how odd it is that Seth came out of Denver /WCHA where if your team takes a cheap run at a goalie or a top forward, you can bet your fannie your guy is next. There is no question. For some reason, our team doesn't have this mentality...pretty lame, IMO.

OK I promise I'm done beeayatching...can't change game 1.
Hopefully we'll have short memories and come out skating downhill tomorrow.

My thoughts exactly. Upperclassmen have to take a leadership position. I may have mentioned that somewhere else. Pirri running his mouth because an expendable upperclassmen isn't taken care of business. Right RC? Or am I being to critical.

Thanks for the report, LF. I'll be watching these two games (and the Sabres' Friday night game) tomorrow.
