BU was definitely the better team tonight. To put it in perspective, however, they were building up last year and were pegged as many as one of the teams to watch this year. Wilson was the #7 pick in the draft, and according to pro analysts had a legit shot at making his pro club had he decided to turn. Not saying he is Jonathan Toews, but he might not be that far off.
Agree with the observation of little chemistry. If I'm not mistaken, noone for the Sioux who skated together last year for any significant period of time was skating together tonight with the exception of Duncan and Miller (who hapened to be on the ice for our lone goal).
One of the same problems I saw last year was evident tonight and that is the high breakout. We continue to try and hit homerun passes instead of short passes up the ice to arrive at the red line with numbers, speed, and the puck. When a dman hits the lead forward 80 feet up the rink, that forward is basically alone and needs to beat two guys to get a clean shot. We need to be more patient.
Ineptness on the pp is expected in the first game of the season when Oshie and Chorney are both no longer in green and white.
B C lost to Michigan in the first game of the icebreaker last year!
