If it hadn't been for a late mad dash run to make a little close , this game could've been 10-1 MSU. I heard Siggy was sick for the game. Man, hope that doesnt last long, cuz the backups looked a little clueless for the most part of the game, seemingly giving up easy goals at the beginning of every period.
I would think that the guys would be chomping at the bit to put MSU away for the sweep , but it looked like MSU was more pumped. It seemed we're lethargic. But it was a fairly exciting game nonetheless.
GO FALCONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BEAT MICHIGAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey falconboy, there ya go! Glad to hear you made it to your first hockey game, and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Wish we could have gotten a win for you, though...
I don't think we really looked lethargic. Our passing wasn't as crisp as it could be, but with so many freshman on our lines that might not really come around until later in December. Overall I think that MSU was pretty pissed about losing to us at home on Friday. They seemed very hungry, especially in the first period. If, however, we had Siggy in net, that wouldn't have mattered. Four goals would have been more than enough to put a W up on the board. Nothing against Horrell and Frazee, but opposing teams practice shooting pretty hard the week before going up against a goalie like Sigalet, so they come in pretty sharp in that respect. Its hard for backup goalies to go in there and take that kind of onslaught when they don't play and see shots regularly.
That being said, I was still pretty impressed with how tough our guys played even with our goalies giving up 6. It would have been easy for them to roll over being down 3-0 in the first period, but they stuck with it and came back strong. Heck, they could have easily 3 or four more goals in the second. I was sitting right behind the MSU net that period and there were shots that popped up over the goalie that, had they been an inch down, would have been surefire goals.
Anyhow, hopefully Sigalet will be feeling better next week, and hopefully he's got his glove on tight. This will be his real test against the Blue-assed Weasils.
GO FALCONS!!!!!!!!!!
BEAT THE WOLVERINES -- TWICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
