The net is closed for the Knight.

 

[Bomber36]

Keep plugging boys...

 

[ucawn]

Howwwwwww?!?!?!

 

[ucawn]

Knight is a beast

 

[JeannoCT]

Better not be a five.

 

[Bomber36]

Nah, he actually looked like he tried to avoid the hit on the replay. looked worse live though, that’s for sure.

 

[Bomber36]

Oh boy. Final nail in the coffin could be coming.

 

[ucawn]

Ugh. This isn’t good

 

[Bomber36]

Great job on the kill.

 

[JeannoCT]

Great job.

[ucawn]

Yep, we’ve looked better than then surprised we’re down 2-0.

 

[Bomber36]

2nd period stats. Knight is the story.

Man, 43 shots? Good stuff. I guess we’re going to have to get lucky here. Didn’t Russia score like 6 goals off of him in WJ??

Well, only 28 on goal. They beat the USA 5-3 in the first game of the tourney. They pulled Knight half way through the game. I think the last one was an empty net if I recall correctly.

 

[JeannoCT]

Thanks. I misread that.

 

[The Viking]

Seems to me the game plan has to be shoot high on Knight, he's stopping everything low. Start roofing shots. If you miss the net so be it
Regardless, UConn looks really good tonight.

I agree, go high when he goes down.

 

[Bomber36]

Gotta cut it to one pretty quickly here.

 

[Bomber36]

That’s pretty quick!

 

[JeannoCT]

Yes!!!!
