COMMENTS
1st pd: SLU controlled the 1st period as Clarkson's offense
really struggled, particularly in the neutral zone. Clarkson
goalie Dan Murphy looked shaky. Clarkson caught a break when,
on a delayed penalty on the golden Knights, a SLU shot from the
point was mishandled by Murphy and went across the goal line but
the referee blew the whistle prematurely (assuming Murphy was
going to control it). The first SLU goal was on a bad giveaway.
Murphy went behind the net to stop a bouncing puck but the SLU
forward Burke Murphy got there first and centered it to Ladouceur
who put it ni the open net. SLU's 2nd goal came on a pure
slap shot from the right wing, but at a tough angle.
 
2nd pd: SLU totally fell apart. Whatever Clarkson coach Mark Morris
said in the dressing room musta worked. CLarkson got an early PP
but only got :24 of it when a penalty on them was called. It turned
out to be a blessing since Clarkson scored a pair of quick goals;
the Knights have done obscenely well on 4-on-4's this year. The
score stayed 3-2 for about 7 minutes after that when Marko Tuomainen
made it 4-2. Then Clarkson scored 4 goals in exactly 3 minutes to
blow the game open. SLU could not for the life of them clear the
zone. Clarkson missed on several good chances and SLU goalie Clint
Owen (and later Jon Bracco) made a few nice saves preventing double
digits.
 
3rd pd: Also owned by Clarkson, although with less dramatic results.
SLU's best defensive plays in the last period and a half seemed to be
to ice the puck.
 
Clarkson improves to 7-3-2 overall and 4-1-1 in the ECAC. They've
averaged 5.7 goals per game and 6.8 GF in ECAC contests. They've scored
at least 6 goals in 5 of their last 6 games (in which they've averaged
a total of 7.5 GF). Clarkson has also averaged 9.25 GF in their last
4 ECAC games.
 
The win was Clarkson's 8th straight against the Skating Saints. After
winning the 1992 ECAC title, a van of SLU students drove through the
Clarkson campus with a "1992 ECAC Champions" banner and generally
screaming and hollering and otherwise reminding us who won the previous
day. St Lawrence has not defeated Clarkson since then.
