Since when didn't Morrison have a chance?! :-)

I wasn't behind Yeats as Jon was, but I thought the Blue team outplayed
the White for much of the game ...  and Yeats was as much a victim of
that as a participant.

Morrison was named first star, but I thought that a stretch.  Morrison
had many saves (maybe 19?) and allowed no goals, but his defense played
well in front of him and he was more than a little lucky on a couple of
instances.  What I *really* liked about Morrison was his new-found
aggressiveness.  IMHO, that's what disappeared during last season.  He
still needs work playing the puck, but I, too, think he's back!  Then,
I'm ignorant ...  I'd love to know what the coaches think :-)

On another note, many of us fans may have a new favorite player.  I do!
We've got a smurph and his name is Don Richardson ...  and he can play!
Well, he can play once the Fall semester ends ...  only then will the
Vermont transfer be eligible.

I'm biased, but I thought the "other" Morrison played pretty well.
Doug, from Stearns High School, may be a long-shot for the team but I
thought he played promisingly well.

All-in-all, it was a good show, with many of the new-comers showing
flashes.  But with the exception of a couple of returning defensemen
that looked stronger, more than once I wondered who among the returning
veterans would step it up this season?

And finally, I don't recall Walsh ever carrying 4 goalies.  Who will be
cut?  If everyone practices hard, it will be a tough choice.
