Moosehead Player of the Game

Timo Meier. He was a set up machine tonight, earning 4 assists (I think all of them were primary/first assists).

Thing That Annoyed Me

The first powerplay unit had Somppi and Fortier on their on-wings. That left Meier as the only one-time option. Granted, the powerplay clicked this game, but it's a bit irritating that a potentially more lethal setup was not used. Just switching Somppi and Fortier, they could have three one-timing options.

Game Notes
  • It was Pink in the Rink Night in support of breast cancer awareness.
  • Meier's first assist was pretty, pretty, pretty good. He picked off a pass and found D. Moynihan open in the slot.
  • The second powerplay unit was on fire early on, they should have had at least a goal tonight.
  • Mups were lit in the second period. Yes, I seriously wrote that in my notes.
  • I pretty sure the announcer called Brett Crossley "Chris" on his goal announcement. 
  • It's cool that both Moynihans scored tonight.
  • Speaking of Moynihans, it seems like Connor gets goaded into confrontations quite a bit (granted, he does his fair share of aggravating at times)
  • One more on the Moynihans: I didn't realize Danny Moynihan scored a hat trick until after it was announced. This one was on me, I could have thrown my hat on the ice.
  • I'm guessing every time I see the Titan play here, they'll score four goals (last time they won 4-0)
Game Pics
Probably the best chance from the second powerplay unit.










Just after Fitzgerald (#5, at top of right circle) scored. The puck manage to trickle past MacCallum.
