Tech got burned twice tonight by the new rule that a goal does not cancel a delayed penalty. Does anyone know the ratonale for the NCAA changing this?
We came out slow and then seemed a little lazy for a large part of the third.
Jamie's teams/schemes have never worked well on the olympic size ice sheet.
Jamie's postgame thoughts:
Gophers score two quick goals after our goal, we've done that too much this year
Hockey is so emotional, need to control momentum, need to do little things to keep the momentum
Some of the penalties tonight Jamie did not agree with them
We were sloppy in the 1st with the backcheck
Great start to 2nd period
Kevin was terrific in 1st period, good saves, didn't like Gophs first 2 goals
Need good puck management, didn't have that with Gophs SHG
We have a 4th line player we're trying to get a few mins out of right now, just not getting those quality mins
Did some good things on PP, did not have many PP chances, or full 2 min PPs tonight
Johnstone made some good decisions on PP
PP was smart getting it set up, "stoney" great job getting the puck in and getting PP set up, special teams not the issue tonight
We were losing key faceoffs tonight, missed Brett Olson, McCadden was okay, Holmberg didn't have a good night on faceoffs
