Providence 3, Worcester 2 (SO)
Scratches/Injured: Ned Lukacevic
Well, I can't say a thing about the first period since I got to my computer at 6:45 expecting the pre-game and the first period had just ended (well shortly before). I looked at the schedule tons of times but never saw that it said 6:05.. well, I'm glad to know we are ahead.. here goes the second period!
Oh, on Worcester's goal in the second period, Tuukka made some great saves, but too many rebounds lead to a goal.. Then again, poor Providence was trying to kill a FIVE-on-three. Our favorite ref was on duty.. I think he did too much Christmas celebrating because he never called Worcester when they elbowed the Bruins.
Good grief.. the shots are insane.. Providence has 10 in two period and Worcester has 32? Good grief is kind!
I thought we would get out of it with a 3 - 1 score, but one of the Providence players had a really bad turnover and that ended up being a Worcester goal (and with a bit over four minutes left) that tied the game. The right after that Worcester thought that they got the go-ahead goal, but they had blown the whistle and it was NO goal.. thank goodness.
I'm beginning to think those "players" that Rob Murray talked about playing "not as well on the road" may be a couple of defensemen.. (don't quote me)...
Well, we have one point.. can we get the second... not in OT.. BUT, we will win it in the shootout! Good job.. but I wish they hadn't given Worcester a point. But, with the losses on the road, I'm celebrating the win. Oh and I checked the starting time for tomorrow's game.. 7:05.
