defkit's Terrier Takeaway
A much better showing for most of the game last night for BU. The first period was their best of the weekend. When it was still scoreless after 2, I thought - that's unfortunate, they are playing better, and yet they may not win.
- I thought BU's breakout and play through the neutral zone was the big difference. Much better flow getting the puck down to the Alaska end of the ice.
- Norringer was a late replacement for Ritchie who was apparently sick and he looked good out there. He plays a physical game and showed some speed too. I could see him pressuring for a spot in the lineup.
- Congrats to Yegorov on a great weekend. One goal in two games.
- Team defense was also very good. There were several times where a shot would come in and the rebound would end up to Yegorov's right, and it seemed like it could result in an easy tap in goal, but BU was tying up their guys effectively. This is why having four centers that play an effective two-way game will help this team.
- Great to see Wang get rewarded for an impressive first two games. It seems the toe-drag move is one of his favorites - he did it at least three times over the two games.
- I hope Roukinakis is ok after that knee-on-knee hit. They never showed a replay. He did come back for a couple shifts, so that should be a good sign; fingers crossed that he is completely fine.
