Re: Yale Bulldogs Hockey - 2012-2013
Overall, I agree with your assessment of the game, but I would add a couple of items.
Witek is a liability on D. He let his man go around him a couple of times and neither touched him or the puck. He also looked lost when near his own goal both with the puck and without. I'm assuming freshman jitters, but he didn't look skating either.
4th line wasn't much of a factor.
Lags is awesome to watch.
Young had a nice deke and set up for Lags first goal.
Miller, yes a terrific passer and offensive weapon, but I noticed in a last home stand he would "lose" himself on the ice and make a poor defensive decisions from time to time. Case in point, 3 on 3 Brown Rush (2nd period ?) entering Yale's zone, Miller is in the middle, he decides to attempt a poke check. He missed the puck, stick, and the skater. 10 seconds later Brown scored. This isn't the 1st time this year I noticed an opposing team scored off of one of his miscues. So far, his offensive contributions have been offsetting his defensive mistakes.
Sorry for the nit picking.
