(Larry wrote about passing to your goalie).
 
We've probably talked about this before, but it's my take that a goalie
is usually pretty good at keeping the puck out of the net.  Also, with
the puck at center ice, the team on the power play tends to stay out of
the offensive zone.  A good swift pass back to the goalie is relatively
safe ...  and it is usually done while facing the goalie (a blind pass
is rarely safe anywhere IMHO).
 
I must have missed the goal that Larry Spoke about (Dexter Classic fans,
and ushers :-), don't get "into" the games as they do in the regular
season), so I can't talk about what went wrong on that specific play.
Nicely, the Maine team had no such concentration problem!

P.S.  If any hockey fans from the greater U Maine wish to support
      another rink in the area, let me know (off-line, please).  There
      is a proposal, now just in the preliminary stages, for a new rink
      in nearby Bangor, probably on the campus of Husson College and
      probably integrated a/the swimming pool.  (And just to connect
      this, now you know why I missed that goal!) :-)
