On the TB goal...I believe that in basketball terms, TB set a staggered double screen to eliminate TVR in the corner...I couldn't believe that neither interference was called! O'Halloran again had an awful game, as you guys mentioned earlier in this thread...the early interference called on Seabrook was a joke...and the make-up call on Garrison was just as bad.
Both teams went through an extended period of shutting down the opposition offense...the 'Hawks were shut down in the 1st...the Bolts went about 11 minutes, I think it was, with zero shots after their lone goal..
.
Crawford withstood a furious push at the end...
'Hawk puck management was terrible, and they were just fumbling passes, or passing just out of reach on breakout attempts...Seabrook was especially awful
The Bolts were in collapse and protect mode on Vaselevsky again, who had a decent game, although twice, his left post came to his rescue.
The 'Hawk 3rd line was a non-factor, and hardly noticeable as the game progressed, although I prefer Versteeg's speed to Bickell's, Bickell's, oh heck, most of the time he has simply posted some hit stats, but hasn't really affected play...
The 'Hawks escape with a goalie win, and were somewhat fortunate for that.
