Hi everyone. Lovely Prodigy bounced my FreezeOut reports when I sent them in.
Here is my second attempt to get them posted on the list (through AOL this
time). Sorry, it took so long, hope they make it to the list,

Subject:  FreezeOut Report
 
  In case no one has posted anything on the FreezeOut in LA,
here are some notes.
 
Maine beat Notre Dame 4-1 in the first game. Scoring (from
official score sheet) was First; 19:27 Maine, Shermerhorn
from Mansoff. Second: None. Third: 8:37 ND, Andrusiak, Ling
9:37 Maine, Wansborough, Purdie, Mansoff 16:04 Parmentier,
Lovell. 19:52 Maine Cardinal, Purdie. All goals were even
strength, No attd. was announced.
I thought ND played fairly well against Maine in the first
two periods. If they had production on the PP, they may have
been ahead going into the third. They missed a lot of
opportunities on the advantage. I also thought Maine looked
like they were tired or were saving their energy for the
possible game against BU Sunday. There were plenty of Maine
and ND fans in the stands.
 
In the second game BU beat Princeton 6-2. I didn't wait
around for the official scoring sheet (It is a two hour
drive home), but here is the scoring summary and I imgine it
is accurate. First period 1:48 BU Kelleher, Thorton, Kealty.
Kelleher put the first shot of the game in, to get the
 Terriers rolling. at 2:43 Princeton's OBrien drilled Shane
Johnson from behind, head first into the boards. OBrien got
a 5min checking from behind and a game misconduct. Johnson
left the game injured (shoulder) and didn't return. I saw
him on the TV monitor later so maybe someone that saw the
interview can fill us in on his injury.BU scored once on the
5m PP, at 3:24 Joubert, Brennan, Kelleher. It was a textbook
1-2-3 passing set up, and Joubert put it in.There were some
penalties that made it 4 on 4, then BU was up 4 on 3 for
awhile too. It seemed like Princeton came out with their
sticks up and at one time had 3 players in the box. 14:58 BU
 Prendergast, Coleman, Rausch. Coleman carried the puck
around behind the net and passed it across the crease to
Prendergast, who shot it in as he was knocked to the ice.
With only :31 left on the clock, Princeton's Colohoun
knocked Greir down, trying to draw him into a scuffle, Grier
skated away and Colohoun got 2m for rough and a 10m miscon.
I thought Grier showed real maturity in skating away. End
of 1st, BU had 3 on 12 shots and Princeton scored 0 on 6.
Second period: Tigers scored at 1:48 Pelle, Bois, Brown.
5:37 BU Joubert, Linna, Coleman. Linna blasted a slap shot
from the point and Joubert walked in behind Princeton's
  goalie, easily putting it in the net. Kind of  typical
Joubert-capitalizing on the other team's error. Very nice.
There was a lot of 5 on 5 as Princeton finally tried to play
hockey. The rest of the period was mostly even strength as
both team were drawing penalties together, but at times it
seemed BU was on the PP as they out played the Tigers. The
second ended with BU 4 goals on 24 shots and Princeton 1 on
13. Prendergast had three breakaways showing great hustle.
Third Period started with a Tiger's goal.
4:48 Princeton Kelly, Colohoun, Granaldi. The Tigers skated
it in nicely, set up the screen on Noble and Kelly put it
 in five hole. 7:55 BU Pierce unasstd. He picked off a
clearing pass, faked a slap shot, skated in, went to the
backhand, deked about three times, then went to the forehand
to top shelf it. I think he used every move he knew, but it
worked. =)  9:31 OSullivan, Coleman, Linna. This was another
textbook set up, two one timer passes to OSullivan who five
holed it, on a one timer also. That made it 6-3 which was
the final with BU outshooting the Tigers 26-21.

Subject:  More FreezeOut Report
 
 Here are the rest of my notes/comments from the FreezeOut
 
Noble looked ok in net, but let me tell you, this guy has
luck. There were numerous times that Princeton could have
capatalized on his mistakes, but they didn't or hit the post
or shot wide. I think BU would be in trouble if he played
like that against NU or Minn. or teams that can make better
use of mistakes. Konte played well considering Princeton's
overall lack of D. He faced many odd man rushes and screens,
and Princeton hardly cleared any rebounds out for him.
 
I was disappointed by the way Princeton came out with their
sticks up. It was almost as if they were admitting they knew
they couldn't beat BU, and figured they may as well leave
their mark (literally) on the Terriers. That hit on Johnson
was pretty bad. In the second, they settled down and it was
a better game. Grier showed great restraint in not letting
the Tigers draw him into shoving matches three or four
times. He was even knocked to the ground, after skating away
from a shove...but didn't retaliate and BU got the PP.
OSullivan seemed a bit testy though, and was in a few good
shoving matches.
 There have been a lot of comments about BU's power play
lately. I think only one goal on a 5m PP isn't very
productive. My opinion on BU's power play is that they spend
way too much time passing and looking for the perfect shot.
They need to shoot more. You can't score if you don't shoot.
BU did have some very nice set ups, and the passing was
effective..but they kept passing too long which allowed
Princeton enough time to pick it off and clear. Princeton
used the dump and chase style of PP, which was probably
their best bet against BU. The Terriers D looked fairly
solid, and a few players looked especially good.
 Prendergast had a ton of breakaways (too bad he couldn't
score on them) He definately had the most hustle and gets
the "pick off" award. Coleman was very good at creating
opportunities around and from behind the net. I think his
set ups were responsible for several of the Terriers goals.
Noble faced a few two on ones and was able to make some big
saves.
Now two guys Kealty and Pierce caught my eye. Parker played
them both, esp. Kealty, quite a bit. I am not familiar with
these two and would appreciate some info/opinion on them for
tommorrow's game.
 After Bates' great game last week, I expected more out of
him than what I saw. Kelleher looked good, and seemed to be
the one Dman willing to throw his body down to block shots
or take the extra step to keep the puck in on the PP. For
Princeton, I think Pelle must have skated every shift, poor
guy was constantly on the ice.
There wasn't too much checking, I thought the ND/Maine game
was a lot rougher, especially in the third. I thought ND
played well, and with a little work on their PP they'd be a
lot stronger. They also had a lot of big, and tall players
that hit hard. That makes them fun to watch. There were
 plenty of Maine and ND fans on hand. The ND fans were the
loudest, most vocal and the funniest. Princeton had a few
fans and BU had a ton =). One BU student even had brought
his cow bell, he gave up on getting the crowd going after
about his third attempt (he looked disappointed). I think he
is the one that gets everyone going at the BU arena. It was
pretty quiet, and for some reason the music guy didn't play
any songs during the stoppage in play during the BU game. It
just ain't college hockey without the noise =(
