Mike Zak has gone skiing for the day and asked me to write up last nights game. Here is the rundown : ------------------------- 1 2 3 T Clarkson 1 2 2 5 Boston Univ 0 0 3 3 ------------------------- Shots on goal : Clarkson : Total of 21 Boston : Total of 40 SUMMARY The game started out with BU skating well in the first. Clarkson scored first on its first shorthanded goal of the year. With BU on a power play Hugo Belanger intercepted a pass at center ice and passed to Dave Trombley. Trombley got in alone and scored. Time of the goal was 17:10 of the first pe period. BU actually skated better than Clarkson but due to Chris Rogles incredible goaltending they were not able to score. Clarkson was out shot in the period 12 to 7. In the second Clarkson took control and scored twice while Rogles again shut down BU offence. Clarkson skated much better in the second and really s se seemed to be gaining control. Clarkson's second goal of the night was scored by Mark Green at 6:04. Mike Kozak passed to Slyvain LaPointe who shoved it in the crease and Green redirected it into the net. At 9:37 of the second, Mike Cassleman scored on a backhand wrist shot which beat Caseman to the short side side. I don't know who got the assists on that goal. Sorry. In the third, Clarkson scored first when Jeff Torrey took a pass from Craig Conroy and beat Caseman. That goal came at 1:22 of the third and made the score 4 - 0 Clarkson. BU proved why they are ranked 6th in the country however, when they mounted and incredible third period attack on the Knights. At 2:45 of the period McKetchrin (sp?) scored on a wrap-around goal with assists going to Armonte and Pachuck. This seemed to take Rogles invincibility away as the Terriers scored again at 4:48 with McKetchrin again doing the damage for BU. The assists were the same. At the 9:21 mark the Terriers appeared to have scored their third goal but it was called out. The ref had apparently blown a quick w a quick whistle when Rogles covered up in the crease. Pachuck was upset so he started pushing Rogles in the back and then all hell broke loose. Mark Green skated in to protect his goaltender and the Terriers skated in to protect Pachuck. In the end Clarkson was given two minors and BU only one. It didn't m matter in the end because no one scored. For the game Clarkson was 0 for 2 on the power play and BU was 0 for 6. At 14:35 BU again scored, this time by LaChance from Armonte and Mcketchrin Clarkson lost the face-off in their own zone and thought they had won only leaving Dave Tretowitz back to defend. 3 on 1 BU put it home, sliding the puck just on the inside of the post. Clarkson now called a time out as it was 4-3. This had a good effect bec because Clarkson came out of the "shell" it had been playing in and started forechecking again. BU pulled Cashman at the 19:00 mark and 14 seconds later Scott Thomas scored the empty netter. With about 20 seconds left, BU was put on the power play but couldn't generate anything. The game was well played by Clarkson except for a 10 minute span in the third when BU got the momentum back. Rogles made a big step in becoming the #1 netminder with outstanding play for the entire game. Other ECAC scores I have heard since last night. Brown 4 Harvard 2 Princeton 7 Cornell 6 Yale beat Dartmouth but I don't know the score. Clarkson plays BC tonight in another non-ECAC game. Clarkson's out of league mark is 6-1. One more score: St. Lawrence 0 Boston College 5 -Ken Snell Clarkson '91
