Shots on Goal
BU 19-19-16=54
PC 10-12-17=39
-- shots/saves are not announced at Schneider arena.
These #s were reported in the Providence Journal but
seem high to me.  The number of saves reported were so
obviously incorrect I have not included them here.

Notes:
This one was obviously put to bed early by BU's
overwhelming advantage in talent, speed and size,
combined with Herlofsky being sharp on those few
occasions when he was tested. PC continued to suffer
from defensive breakdowns but at other times was just
overmatched.
 
By the time BU was up 3-0, my count of shots on goal
was BU 4, PC 3.  PC's were quality shots, not just dump
ins that happened to go through the crease, but BU made
their goals look easy.
 
The second period was really wide open and evenly
played for the first 10 minutes.  Jackie Parker is
quoted in the morning paper as saying that he was
especially gratified by his team's play in the second
because it is so easy to get selfish with the big lead
but they play continued to play smart.
 
Trying to find something positive for PC to take away
from this, I think Pooley can be pleased that the
Friars would not let themselves be intimidated.  I
thought BU was trying to tatoo this one in the Friars'
memory by their physical play, especially late in the
game.  But PC showed pride while they took their
whipping.  Several players who are not usually at all
physical did not back down and actually stepped up
their willingness to use their body despite BU's
superior size.
