I thought that it would Morris' pick who took the shot but the 2 scouts
sitting in front of me corrected me and said that Evans would be the shooter
immediately after the call.  They might have made a lucky guess but I don't
think so.  If he was going with hot players Evans might not have been the
guy, they got the penalty shot because he didn't put the puck in an open
net!  He got the first goal but Cole created the opportunity with a great move.
 
FYI, the scouts only made notes about Cole, Mitchell and Evans, all from
Clarkson.  No Maine notes at all.
