I'm pretty 50/50 on what to think about the game. On one hand the Dutchmen only earned one point at home against last season's worst ECAC team. Also, letting up two cheap shorthanded goals within a few minutes is pretty pathetic. But, it was nice to see the team come back to tie the game, and see the penalty kill shutdown the Bears power-play unit. This just makes tomorrow's game that much more important.
Other notes from the game:
- Presizniuk switched lines as he moved from playing with Walters and Valery-Trabucco to playing with the Simpson brothers. Leaman said that he is trying to find a right fit for Presizniuk and the Simpson line might be a good fit.
- Along with this Leaman is trying to find someone to play with Walters and Valery-Trabucco. Tonight it was Welsh, who brings size to the line. Leaman also said that Yanovitch, who was benched tonight, could fit in nicely into that line because he is a great shooter.
- Senior Jason Shaffer played tonight and played very well, and was praised by Leaman in the post-game press conference. Personally, I think Shaffer should play more. Everytime I see him he is always making nice plays and causing some havoc on the offensive side of the puck. Leaman said he was unsure if he could sit down Shaffer and Jon Lareau after their performance tonight.
- Leaman also said that each Yanovitch and Boileau will return to the lineup tomorrow against Yale
