Re: Dartmouth BIG Green Hockey: 2017-18 Season
BG takes the lead in the series with 4-1 convincing win, by BG standards always up by two goals (save first goal) for the entire game. While BG certainly does not have the skill that Harvard, they do have the "fight"...winning board battles, creating turnovers, blocking shots, etc. You could tell that they frustrated the Harvard team, especially after their 5-3 PP advantage and nothing to show for it. Who woulda thunk it? The fourth line scores as Strong throws a harmless put to the net only to hit a Harvard D's skate and through Madsen's five hole. Then right after that, Kilistoff creates a Walsh turnover behind the net and feeds Warpecha for a beautiful goal. All this Harvard controlled possession but really nothing dangerous, the most was the the begiinning of the game where Z-G had a open net only to miss (do not know if he missed it by himself or it was deflected by a BG guy; I think the latter with ensuing FO in zone). The BG plays a great second period with a 2-0 lead only to extend it on a nice shot from Baker and a nice diving tip pass from Jasiek; Madsen was screened by Donato on this one. In the third, after many PP a 5-3 Harvard gets stymied mostly by blocked shots. Harvard finally scores on a EA late in the game and BG pots an EN to ice it. Nice start and let's close them out tomorrow! Way to go BG!
