Congrats to the Lumberjacks. They always bring it against East. I wasn't there. Anyone there that can fill us in on the highlights?

1. The rivalry lives. Never doubt Cloquet in a game against East. They're 2-1-1 in the last 4 vs the Hounds now.
2. East's PK at the moment is god-awful. Of the 10 goals they've allowed this year, 7 have been on the power play.
3. East will tumble from the top 5, at the very least. I'm fine with that. Better to take these lumps now. Should be a fun bag skate tomorrow morning...
4. People fixate on the goaltending, but East's D is on the young side and isn't quite controlling games the way it should be yet. (No Spencer again tonight.) They had a couple of freshmen and a sophomore out there tonight, and while there's a boatload of talent there, they were in a very new situation. Growing pains will happen.
4. The Jacks are all over the place. They killed Marshall, got killed by Rapids, and now they pull one out against East. They're erratic, but that's part of what makes them dangerous, at least for one upset in sections.
As for the gameplay, the Hounds doubled up shots on goal, and it was incredibly lopsided in the 2nd and 3rd, but the bad 1st was enough to do them in. It was a penalty-filled game, and CEC's special teams were better.

Karl-hounds still having issues staying out of box?

Tonight it wasn't the number of penalties, really--CEC was just 3-for-3 on the PP. (One was a major.) They just need to figure out how to kill the damn things.
