Very unfortunate finish. I didn’t like that penalty but in the defensive zone with a slash losing a stick is probably warranted....SORTA
Great game by Sudbury tonight. Although both teams put up 60 shots through nearly six periods, I feel Sudbury carried the balance of the play, especially in the first two OT’s.
Takeaways:
1> UPL was awesome tonight as well as DiPietro. Any criticism of either goalie letting in a bunch of goals in this series is erased after both performances tonight
2> Byfield is going to be electric next year. For a big kid like that to still be pushing the play in period six tonight was impressive. I really like Murray as well. HE’s got a lot of jump. The two of them are going to form one of the top lines in the league next year.
3> Overall, love the new organizational structure of the Wolves. Stillman is a great coach and the leadership above that is clearly stellar. There is a renewed sense of pride in the franchise and that is awesome. I’m definitely a Sudbury fan going forward...well, 67’s first but Sudbury is a team to watch for sure.
