I don't think it was wrong.  With a couple of "soft" goals and team
defense not what it usually has been this year, you might have predicted
it.  In fact, I mentioned to an NU dad that an NU Coach Walsh might well
have pulled their goalie Friday night after the 1st period and don't be
surprised to see Morrison pulled.  *I* wouldn't have pulled Morrison,
but then I'm not behind the bench and ...  I thought SteveK's non-goal
went in!  Perhaps

Why not switch back to Morrison?   :-)

Morrison did pretty well in his first start, didn't he? :-)
 
And I'll kneel down to anyone that could have predicted that
out-of-character (for both teams) 7-7 game!
 
Enough of those Sunday afternoon games, please.  Maybe it will help in
the playoffs, but with relatively few fans and so much scoring out of
two defensive clubs ...
 
I liked SteveK's quote in the BDN today.  Something like "We should have
won that game ...  we were lucky to tie that game".
 
How true
