Cale Morris injury? *

Coach Jackson said that Morris is being held out because

of a minor injury. He added that they had expected Cale to turn pro and now find themselves with four goalies, including junior Nick Sanford. He is thinking of having Dylan St. Cyr take a red-shirt year while Bischel gains some experience as the back-up. The hope is that Bischel can hold the fort until Morris returns in a week or two.

Bischel is the future, and the future looks promising. Of

course I bet the house on Brad Phillips and now live in a trailer!

I Was at Monday's game and he did not dress. Assumed

because it was an "exhibition game", Jackson wanted to get a look at his freshman (Bischel) . . . who was in goal all three periods.

Why isn’t St. Cyr playing? This is not going well. 0-2. *

Easy to explain - Michigan sucks

Both those goals went into east end goal (opposite student section). This goal would be the closest to Ann Arbor ..... obviously Michigan sucks

One or two off the post as well, early.

His second goal seemed to be more of a huge defensive breakdown. AFA got too many open passes in front, and one found its way home.

The kid made a rookie mistake ...

holy hell. It’s the first game of his career. Let’s screw him up and yank him. He’s been pretty solid since

St. Cyr is our clear #2, though, and waited a long time. Do

you know why he’s not in goal?

Bischel definitely got his legs under him after Air Force’s 2d goal. And maybe not having the
Richter Award Winner in goal lit a fire under the offense.

Bische does have better size ....

in an era when shots are being taken from what used to be "bad angles" and the emphasis is on post-integration/lateral movement, that's an advantage. He's not massive by any stretch but he is similar to Morris. St. Cyr is small.

Jackson said he may redshirt this year *

Looks like the kid stepped in front of him *

1-2 halfway into 2d Air Force PP *

Now Irish on PP. *

Tie puck game. 2-2. 6:38 left in the 2nd period. *

2-2. End of the 2nd period. *

Can Morrison makes it 3-2 *

O’Leary penalty, going on PK *

Excellent technique save *

Morrison draws penalty - 5 minutes left *

Burke empty net goal from defensive end

Won face off, found space, and bullseye

Great comeback, Amish! *

.1 seconds left goal 4-3 final *

You cannot score later in the period. Unreal. *

An important lesson was learned without drastic consequences

I bet Jackson had some words about that.

Absent the empty-netter, guys, you were going into OT. Let’s not do that again.

I couldn't tell from the quick replay what role our D-man...

played in that goal. If you're going to be there don't let the kid get a shot off.

Absolutely.

Less than 5 seconds? Take a penalty before allowing the shot.

Standing there was an excellent screen/distraction ....

I couldn't even tell if it made contact with him on the way up and in.

Yup

And every goal in the first minute or the last minute of a period always draws a coach's ire. Several good lessons. Don't ice it like you did, play to the horn, etc., etc.
