That shot glanced off the top of the side pipe, and rebounded in my direction.
I have a very difficult time describing Morrison's performance last night as "hot", as some have. He saved a very uninspired penalty shot easily, and a slew of ordinary shots. He was penalized for taking off his helmet to stop play. He was constantly out of the crease leaving the goal untended, and setting picks. And, ultimately he gave up four goals. Well, OK, one wasn't exactly his fault, but that's how the puck bounces. There was constant action in front of his crease because of the kind of rebounds he was offering. Hot? Not. I do have to admit Conacher's goal was the play of the night. He earned it.
Watching the film I realized it was Tory Carissimo (linesmen) who actually made the call on the penatly shot or at least brought it to the attention of refree Jim Visconte. It really was a great catch and he was right on. I hope Tory becomes a refree one day, I have notice his effort a lot and commented on it. I think he could be a good AHA ref...
Morrison was the ONLY reason Canisius had a chance on Friday night. So give him some respect. All though I agree not all the save were eye popping ones. That is what I found most frustrating was that Morrison was playing well and RIT was not beating him adn I did not feel either that he was "standing on his head" as they say. But (and I say this to many people) get off goaltenders leaving the crease. I really am amazed at the many people who have a panic attack because a goaltender has left the crease. You see one or two of those goals on plays like that a year out of the hundreds of times goaltenders play the puck. Its part of the game and they should do it. And to the NHL, that trapzoid rule sucks!!!!
I think Canisius needs to put Scarsella and Conacher on the same line like they did in the third period, yeah it makes them a one line team, but when they don't have those two together they really look like a no line team. Conacher did a great job of taking what Madolora gave him on his goal. It was a good shot, but I think Shane could have played it better he got caught deep in his crease and gave Conacher the top corner of the net, which is all he had to shot at as he was at top speed and really could not make any other move. Shane did learn later as Cory had the same type of break away in the third, but this time Madolora got out and shut down the angle as Conacher tried to go high again.
Did anyone else notice how high the Canisius Forwards were getting and stretching out their box on the PK? It cost them on the game winner as I think it was Chris Haltigin who made a nice move around the high forward and started the play that lead to Janda's goal.
Final thought of the nght, I know its been mention but I don't think we really can apperciate how good the freshmen forwards are especially Colavecchia, Lynch , and Mitchell. I can't think of a better freshman trio of forwards RIT has had since I had been around since 98. Burt and Brenner would be in there if they had a third member of there skill and there were other good freshmen in that group, but I don't think they match this years trio I just mentioned...
