In a surprisingly close game, the Maine Black Bears held off the Clarkson Golden Knights for a 3-2 victory. The first 10-12 minutes of the game were uneventful except for Clarkson's anemic offense. Then, Maine converted on back to back power plays for a 2-0 lead. A defensive giveaway by Matt Pagnutti led a goal #3 by period's end. The 2nd period contained more of the same. Maine domination and Clarkson ineptness. The only difference being that no goals were scored on the many power plays, or otherwise. The 3rd period started out much teh same way but a nice series of passes led to a Clarkson power play goal. A few minutes later, defenseman Adam Wiesel scored another power play goal to make it 3-2. Clarkson had another full power play but couldn't convert. Clarkson put on tons of pressure but couldn't crack Maine goalie Blair Marsh a third time. A couple of moronic penalties by Matt Pagnutti and Josh Bartell forced Clarkson to kill off a few more penalties and cut into valuable time. Ed Henrich also took a stupid penalty but fortunately for Clarkson, a Maine player took a penalty 10 seconds later. Clarkson pressured late in the game and a wraparound came inches from crossing the line but somehow Marsh pulled it out. When he pushed it out, the puck went under the stick of 3 Clarkson players (who were tied up) and out of the zone. Clarkson hit a post also in that late rush. That was as close as they would come. Clarkson played very poorly in the first two periods as their offense looked horribly disjointed. I must give credit to Maine's defense who played very well. Whenever Clarkson took one too many passes, the Maine D was there to clear it away. Clarkson did try to get too fancy with their passing, though. They needed to take more shots and work on getting the rebounds. Especially teh way Maine's D was playing. THREE STARS 1) Weinrich, MAINE 2) Craig Conroy, CLARKSON 3) Mike Latendrese, MAINE No one really stood out exceptionally. I suppose both Currie and Marsh made some key stops late but didn't see much action early.
