Game review:
Restuccia = Player of the game in my book. Wow, she was awesome today - she had one of the best games by any BC player all year. She reminds me of David Krejci from the Bruins, the way she always comes away with the puck and makes such smart passes. She might have the highest hockey IQ of anyone on the team. Can't say enough about her effort.
The defense was suspect for a stretch in the 2nd in which NU scored their goals. A few really bad breakdowns, but that's to be expected - there's going to be an adjustment period as Johnson and Baskin work their way back from pretty tough injuries. It's amazing to see Johnson back out there -- I guess that means she's way tougher than Tom Brady.
Really unfortunate to see Fardelmann get thrown out, but it was the right call. No malicious intent, but certainly a hit from behind that deserved the major.
Both teams got away with lots of hits and stickwork, as is often the case w/ Doiron - as long as you expect it and it's fair for both teams, no big deal.
Northeastern needs to stick with Sulyma in big games. Schelling is obviously a good goalie, but every time I've seen Sulyma against BC she's been absolutely unbelievable. Schelling let in two softies today and almost had another trickle thru her pads and in on a dump in from the blue line. Luckily for her, it hit the post. Would have been Toskala-esque.
It was not nearly as inspiring as the SLU game, of course, but it's all about going on the road and getting results. At this point of the season, style points matter even less.
