UW vs
Stanford - Away
Game #1 Report – Friday Nov. 2nd:
Huskies 7, Stanford 3
Husky Hockey came out of the gate in the first period against Stanford with noticeable flight-legs. The team
struggled to come together for their normal solid team
effort, but were able to score first on a power play
when Bryce Kennedy’s slap shot bounced off Shaun
Lawrence’s skate and right to Matt Carlson. Carlson
put the puck in the back of the net at 12:37 to put
the Huskies up by one. Then at 9:15 Marty Boyd broke
into the offensive zone, fed Brian Mead the puck, who
beat the goalie on the lower right side. Stanford
scored their first goal at 7:36 when they were short
handed. The first period ended with the Huskies
leading 2-1.
The second period still looked rough for the Huskies.
However, they scored early in the period at 18:09 when
Sean Beveridge’s slap shot was rebounded by Sean
O’Brien, who put the puck over a downed goalie. Then,
at
15:12 Brett Lawrence scored off double rebound shots
from Matt Carlson and Shaun Lawrence. But Stanford
continued to put the pressure on, and scored less than
a minute later. The Stanford goalie continued to
stand on his head to stop the Husky’s attempts, time
and time again. And to end the period,
Stanford scored their second goal in a row at 1:15.
The period ended with the Huskies leading 4-3.
The third period the Husky team defense stepped up and
started shutting down the fast and impressive rushes
by Stanford. At 18:54 Matt Carlson scored again on a
one-timer. The Huskies continued to shoot, but the
stingy Stanford defense either got in the way of the
shots on net or the goalie made big saves. Finally at
6:24 Paul Margolis took the offensive zone, dished the
puck off just as he took a big hit, as his line-mate
Sean O’Brien went one-on-one with the goalie and beat
him to the lower corner. And to finish off the game,
Marty Boyd won a face-off in the offensive zone,
dropped the puck back to Brian Smith, who’s slap shot
on net
was tipped in the upper left side by Boyd who was
streaking to the net. The game ended with the Huskies
winning 7-3.
