Comments:
Over the past several weeks PC has shown noticeable
improvement and coming home after a shootout win the
night before at UNH I expected more of the same.  Boy,
was I disappointed.  I wish I could say the Friars were
tired or flat, but that would not be telling the truth.
This game they just outright stunk.
 
UNH went up early and often and the game was over
before the first period ended.  The Cats beat PC to
every puck and made the Friars look like they were
skating on snowshows.  Other than a 2 minute flurry
late in the second, and other brief signs of life early
in the third, PC showed nothing.  They neither
forechecked nor backchecked. Dennis had no chance on
several early goals and let in several soft ones after
his defensemen abandoned him. Kramer and Quenneville,
the heart and soul of the team were nearly invisible.
This was by far the teams worst home outing of the
season.
 
Missing from the Friar lineup was Scott Balboni who
anchors the blueline and who certainly could have been
used.  No word on what his injury might be.
 
 
Note to Ron C: You had me wishing I was at the Civic
Center.
