Attended the game as well and couldn't agree more with your assessment. SSP had a couple of odd man rushes where the MHT goalie made a couple great saves.Lowstickside wrote:SSP had some great chances early and both goalies played well in keeping the score 0-0 for the better part of the game. Shots favored Mh who shot often, and from everywhere, where SSP had fewer shots but played well. This was a very close game until the end IMO.
I thought the difference was # 14 from MH - Marshall. Clearly the best player, he moved the puck out of his zone all night, either himself, or with a good pass. SSP did not have this type of player on their team.
#14 was by far the best player on the ice, reminds me of #10 currently playing for the Gophers as far as size, speed and stickhandling.
Mahtomedi matches up well STA, should have a good match up Friday night.
