Period 1 - Notes

Good start. Princeton has certainly had the better of play. They are getting possession in the offensive third, the defenders are getting involved in the offense, and that is allowing Tiger forwards to establish themselves in front of the net. The goal, a wrist shot from Moore, was scored when the shot hit a skate in front, and the Tigers need to continue with the same. As for the physical aspect, the Tigers still have not flexed their muscles along the boards. Expect more of the same style play in the second half.

Another positive from Princeton was their defensive effort. Kalemba has been excellent, pushing his scoreless streak up over 200 minutes, but the defense has done a great job blocking shots and get inside the shooting lanes. Princeton has already blocked four shots.

In all, Princeton has so far accomplished two of the three "Keys to the Game" (numbers one and three) and have played an overall outstanding first period.
