They'll face U Mass in round one. Remarkable to come from behind after losing Kreider. On the other hand, UNH is limping badly into the tournament.<br /><br />Go Eagles!mod10aeaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04009617224575563986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-17348538979545055142011-03-05T18:47:41.736-05:002011-03-05T18:47:41.736-05:00He was hit by a clearing pass to the side of the h...He was hit by a clearing pass to the side of the head during a penalty kill from his own teammate.<br />I don't know the severity of the injury, but Nathan Gerbe ('08) returned in about three weeks from surgery to wire a broken jaw together after a similar freak accident earlier this season with the Sabres. Given the drawn-out schedule of HE and NCAA playoffs, maybe the same could be true for Kreider.<br /><br />It's a shame because he is a terrific player with blazing speed. This might be a blessing in disguise if it keeps him from signing with the Rangers this spring. He is clearly a man playing with boys at this level.<br /><br />As for the team, last night's 4-0 win over UNH was the best game they've played since the championship game vs. Wisc. They rose to the occasion, totally dominating UNH. Saying they outskated them is an understatement. We are clearly a much faster team than UNH. Our backcheck and D-zone coverage was superb, no second chances or odd-man rushes and we scored two shorthanded goals. Frosh Bill Arnold scored the second with a burst of speed and a power move to the net that indicates he has the potential to be a big-time player.<br /><br />BTW, Nat Gerbe scored an empty-netter in Philly, his 8th of the year, to clinch the win today for the Sabres.Scoophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11775371005877183144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-69807797380292675222011-03-05T02:38:11.723-05:002011-03-05T02:38:11.723-05:00Chris Kreider broke his jaw?!
