StarMost Valuable Predictor??? You may just hit it again!!!

It was 4-1 at the conclusion of the 2nd period. I left and went home because of sore neck from CPR class today! Boy did I miss a good 3rd period I guess.

It would be a tough loss for the Ponies if they can't hang on. To give up couple goals in the final 4 minutes, and within the last minute hurts. They must have played tight and conservative.

From what I saw in the first 2 periods, I would have bet $100 that the 3rd period was going to be a SW blowout. They got to Woodbury's back up goaltender and even he gave up a weak 5 hole goal with less than 20 secs left in the 2nd.

SW defensively must have fallen apart.

That's kinda what I am thinking.... you get up 4-1, and instead of being aggressive with the forecheck, SW probably sat back at neutral ice, let Woodbury rush the puck, and played too conservative...... then start grabbing their sticks too hard, and get stuck in mud.

Stillwater dominated first and part of the second. Woodbury just took them to the woodshed in the the third though. First time I've seen Stillwater let up like that, very disspointing. Two very weak goals in the third by Woodbury though, one bounced off the backboards and hit goalies bad and other was shot off the goalies back behind the net. Keefe gets the hat-trick

4-4 tie

dissapointing tie for the Ponies

oh and so much for that thread claiming Ness was the top SEC goalie, didn't look so hot tonight.

I guess that 10 min boarding from behind penalty he took in the 1st period must have left him feeling rested and refreshed

In my opinion the kid should have been tossed. That was brutal.

What the heck, I looked here earlier and thought it was going to be a blow out. Still not a bad game I guess for Stilly. Woodbury has to be wondering a bit I would guess. Nice comeback!

God... A win over Woodbury would have gave Stillwater so much momentum after their win against Cretin a week ago. Even with the tie, The ponies are showing they could possibly make another run for a State Tourney bid if they keep this play of late going.

What the just happened, Stillwater??? Here's my take: Apparently everything has come too easy for the Ponies of late. Looked like they had no clue on how to stick the knife all the way in. Got a sweet 4th goal from Dochniak and they, collectively, must have figured a (second) 3-goal lead, was good enough to take down a dangerously flailing Woodbury team. The Royals came out full-tilt in the 3rd, and I can't even begin to say how a couple of those goals went in. Poor goalie positioning & puck awareness led to two, if not three, of the four goals. It may have ended in a kiss-your-sister tie on paper, but make no mistake... this was a tail-between-the-legs loss for the Ponies.
