UW's breakout was stymied in the first period, then they made some adjustments and those seemed to work, though it was worrisome at the time. UW was excellent in the D zone and played with a lot of poise. The Dahl line was awesome, Zengerlee's was decent, LaBates eh. He seems too slow to the puck on the forecheck. Meuer's line was good, though Pappe had a couple times where he tried to get too fancy with the puck and just should have shot the puck. Cavallini had a nice centering pass from the corner, showed good vision there. There was a few times where some guys didn't seem to be going 100%, the effort/intensity still needs ramping up.
Overall a unique game scoring-wise. I've never seen so many goals by a team in a single game that were not stick to net (3), it seems like all UW's puck luck got used up in this game. Will there be any left for the rest of the season? I also don't recall ever seeing a goal scored after the pulled goalie went back in after the eng. And 5 goals from all 1 line.
I muted the tv and listened to PB & Howie. What a treat. The radio was only a second ahead of the tv, so that was ok. Howie very astutely pointed out some things, PB was right on, Posick occasionally pointed some things out. They had periods where they were off point as far as play by play, but that was to be expected. I need to remember to email Posick and tell him thanks.
I've always meant to transfer to dvd but have been to lazy to do so
