Period 2 - Notes

A little better period for the Tigers. Still no traffic in front of the net, however, which is going to continue to be a problem unless Princeton can gain some sustained offensive production. The Tigers' best chace of the night came on a power play shot from defenseman Kevin Crane when Brett Wilson was screening Dekanich in front. Kevin Kasier had an open shot in the middle of the second peroid that was gloved by Dekanich as if it were nothing. The Tigers need to screen his lanes to put one past him.

The Tigers also seem to be having the most success when their defensemen get involved in the offensive play. This means that the team's two-way defenders, wuch as Moore, Godlewski and Fedun, are going to need to find a way to get involved in the offensive third.

Overall, however, a good period for the Tigers. Shots were 7-6 in the period, and the majority of play was in the Colgate defensive third.

Three Keys to the Third:
1) Getting bodies between Dekanich and the puck.
2) Getting defensemen involved in the offense.
3) Avoiding stupid penalties - The refs have shown so far that they will call even the small stuff - and this game looks as though one goal will decide it - so staying out of the box will be crucial.
