The game had very little flow BG was just out of sync. BG comes out hot with ST L barely touching the puck and when they do, ST L executes and perfect 3 on 2 goal goal that beats Clark on the short side. Then BG comes back to tie it up right afterwards with Tree Line extended O zone time with Yau going D to D to Matthews who puts a nice bank pass behind the net to Forman who then centers and hard to a waiting O’ Connor for a nice bag bang goal. The. BG gets on a PP and score right away has Yau moves it to Graber who skates it in between high circle and shoots. The puck somehow gets to an open Forman who bangs home to end the first. Then ST L comes out with a vengeance in the second and gets very extended O zone time but to no avail. Then Rutherford comes down on a 2 on 1 with the ST L D playing it right only to have Rutherford bury his shot going 7 hole to take a 3-1 lead. ST L continues to press and scores a goal with traffic in front of Clark that somehow trickles past him, he probably wants that one back. Then ST L storms out in the third and is stymied with BG doing the prevent defense of getting pucks deep, forechecking and hemming them in their own zone with cycling but only a couple of solid scoring chances. Here’s where it gets interesting with an EA for ST L as they get a couple of great looks where the D and Clark comes up big with block shots and timely saves.
BG will have to play better to finish ST L out tonight. I feel the intensity was not all there tonight. Let’s gooooo BIG GREEN!
