>> I THINK YOU FEED OFF THE CROWD, YOU'RE PLAYING
A PERENNIAL POWER, THE 10TH TEAM IN THE COUNTRY, MAN I EXPECT THE
TIGERS TO COME OUT WITH TREMENDOUS ENERGY.
THE BUILDING'S SOLD OUT, AND YOU'RE PLAYING THE 10TH RANKED
WOLVERINES. WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT? I EXPECT GREAT ENERGY HERE
OUT OF THE GAME.
>> RIT, COMING OFF A LOSS TO COLGATE 4-1.
IT STARTED OFF WELL -- BEN LYNCH ON THE POWER PLAY -- BUT
JOHNNY, IT JUST SEEMED LIKE THE OFFENSE NEVER GOT IN SYNC
FOR THE REST OF THE GAME.
>> NO, I THOUGHT A COUPLE OF THINGS; THEY JUST LOOKED SLOW,
NEVER GOT THEIR LEGS, THEIR PASSING WAS NOT CRISP,
THEY DIDN'T WIN MANY BATTLES, THEY WEREN'T PHYSICAL, I MEAN
I DONT KNOW HOW MANY POSITIVES YOU CAN SAY ABOUT THURSDAY
NIGHT'S GAME. JORDAN RUBY PLAYED WELL. I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS A
LACKLUSTER PERFORMANCE FOR OPENING NIGHT FOR THE TIGERS.
--HE'S ONLY GOING TO GET MORE CONFIDENCE FROM THAT AND YOU
JUST HOPE THE REST OF THE TEAM FEEDS OFF OF THAT.
>> GUPTILL, CENTERING PASS IN FRONT, OH, RIGHT OUT IN FRONT!
THAT'S PHIL DI GIUSEPPE, AS RUBY WAS PULLED OUT OF POSITION, IT'S
A POWERPLAY GOAL, AND MICHIGAN IS UP ONE TO NOTHING.
>> WATCH THIS, THIS IS ABOUT AS PRETTY AS IT GETS, I MEAN, A
GREAT CENTERING PASS, AND DI GIUSEPPE, UNATTENDED!
I MEAN REALLY, JORDAN'S DEF -- LOOK AT THIS, PASS SPLITS
THE DEFENDERS, THERE'S DI GIUSEPPE ALL BY HIMSELF.
HE GETS TURNED AROUND, COMES IN AND SKATES, AND WITH 2 AND A
HALF MINUTES IN, MICHIGAN'S UP.
>> CENTERING PASS IN FRONT, AND ANOTHER GOAL!! TWO, NOTHING,
MICHIGAN, DEBLOIS, WITH THE GOAL.
>> DEBLOIS, LEFT REALLY ALL ALONE, SWEET CENTERING PASS, AND
HE'S RIGHT THERE IN THE CREASE, AND HE'S REALLY ALL BY HIMSELF,
RIGHT IN FRONT, HE'S SET UP IN POSITION, LOOK AT THIS PASS,
CENTERING PASS RIGHT THERE AND, DEBLOIS, FOR HIM, HE JUST LOCKS
AND LOADS FROM THERE!
>> DI GIUSEPPE WILL TRY TO DUMP IT AHEAD, THE TIGERS BREAK THAT
UP, NOT OUT HOWEVER, OPPURTUNITY DOWN LOW...RUBY HAS
NO CHANCE, DI GIUSEPPE; HIS SECOND GOAL! WE'RE NOT EVEN 10
MINUTES IN TO THIS GAME, IT'S 3, NOTHING, MICHIGAN.
>> THEY'RE TOUGH, THEIR SIZE, IT'S INCREDIBLE, AND YOU SEE THE
SPEED THEY GET ON THE OPEN ICE.
>> HERE WE GO, TWO ON ONE, QUICKSHOT AND A GOAL, AND
IT'S 4 TO 1, THAT IS NUMBER 12, 'BOO' NIEVES, FROM RIGHT DOWN
THE ROAD IN BALDWINSVILLE AND MICHIGAN, IN CONTROL IN THE
FIRST.
-- THERE'S COLAVECCHIA, COLEVECCHIA OVER THE BLUE LINE,
COLEVECCHIA AND HE'S STICKHANDLING IT, PUTS IT IN!
MICHAEL COLAVECCHIA! THAT'S SOME NHL-STYLE TALENT FOR YA!
TIGER'S ARE ON THE BOARD 4-1!
>> THAT WAS A BIG-TIME MOVE!
>> EVEN THOUGH THE POWERPLAY IS OVER, THE TIGER'S ARE APPLYING
SOME PRESSURE, RIGHT OUT IN FRO--IN THE GOAL! AND IT'S 4-2!
--AND THE TIGER DEFENCE HOLDS, 4 ON 4, BACK AND FORTH WE GO,
WHAT A WELL-PLAYED SECOND BY THE TIGERS IN FRONT,
GARBOWSKY SCORES!
>> MATT GARBOWSKY BRINGS IT 4-3!
>> HEY, WHY NOT JUST THROW THE PUCK TOWARDS THE NET,
GARBOWSKY'S THERE, ABLE TO KEEP IT ON HIS STICK, TURN, AND FIRE,
AND BEAT RACINE.
LYNCH DOWN LOW, BACK UP TOP, SHUMWAY FLINGS IT TO THE NET,
BUT IT NEVER GOT THROUGH, LYNCH THE BLAST, DEFLECTS--RIGHT
INSIDE!
WE ARE TIED, THAT MICHIGAN LEAD HAS EVAPORATED!
NOLAN DESCOTEAUX WITH THE GOAL
>> OH, DESCOTEAUX, ON THE DOORSTEP JUST PUNCHES AT IT.
RELENTLESS PRESSURE BY THE TIGERS.
THEY GOT RACINE SURROUNDED.
WHAT A TURN OF EVENTS.
>> I HAVE NEVER HEARD THE BLUE CROSS ARENA THIS LOUD, JOHNNY,
NOLAN DESCOTEAUX TIES THE GAME.
>> NEVER. LOOK AT THIS, RELENTLESS, HERE COMES THE
PUCK IN, COLAVECCHIA TAKES A SWIPE AT IT, DESCOTEAUX JUST
STANDING HIS GROUND THERE AND PUNCHES AT IT AND THERE YOU GO.
>> SENDING IT ALONG THE NEAR WALL TO LYNCH, HOLDING IT IN IS
CLARE, WE'RE DOWN TO A MINUTE REMAINING IN THE SECOND.
AND A GOAL FROM AN ODD ANGLE.
OH, CAN YOU BELIEVE IT, EVAN ALLEN GIVES MICHIGAN BACK
THE LEAD, IT'S 5-4.
TIGERS LOOKING FOR THE EQUALIZER, HERE'S DESCOTEAUX
SENDS IT IN FRONT TO LYNCH AND SCORES!
BEN LYNCH HAS TIED IT UP ON THE POWER PLAY.
HOLD ON, THE LIGHT IS ON, THE OFFICIAL IS WAVING IT OFF.
>> WAVING IT OFF. GOTTA GET A LOOK AT IT.
>> WE TAKE ANOTHER LOOK. YOU BE THE JUDGE, FOLKS.
WHAT HAPPENS HERE?
>> DESCOTEAUX CENTERS IT, LYNCH WITH THE SHOT, THEY THINK IT'S
A GOAL...MITCHELL...I CAN'T TELL.
>> WELL, IN ATLANTIC HOCKEY, YOU CAN HAVE THE REPLAY.
TIGERS OUTSHOOTING MICHIGAN 45-23 IN THIS GAME.
>> IT'S AMAZING, LOOK AT THAT NUMBER.
>> IT'S UNBELIEVABLE.
MOFFATT SENDING IT TOWARD THE NET, BIG REBOUND AND A GOAL.
PUT BACK IN, TYLER MOTTE WITH THE GOAL, A TWO-GOAL ADVANTAGE
FOR MICHIGAN.
--REMAINING IN THE GAME, MITCHELL ALONG THE FAR SIDE,
CLARE WILL USE THE BLAST LIFTING UP AND DOWN THE ICE, AND NOW
DESCOTEAUX HAS TO CHASE AFTER IT AND THERE'S YOUR EMPTY NET GOAL.
DESCOTEAUX BROKE HIS STICK TRYING TO SAVE THAT ONE AND
MICHIGAN WILL HOLD ON FOR THE WIN TONIGHT, 7-4, BUT JOHNNY
THEY ARE GOING TO GO BACK KNOWING THAT THEY'VE GOT SOME
THINGS TO WORK ON TONIGHT, COPP GETS THE EMPTY NET GOAL.
>> AND THEY KNOW THAT RIT WILL NEVER GO AWAY, NO MATTER WHAT
THE DEFICIT IS, LAST YEAR THEY BLEW A 3-0 LEAD, TONIGHT THEY
WENT THROUGH A 4-0 LEAD, AND I FEEL GOOD FOR ALL THE FANS AND
ALUM WHO CAME HERE, ALTHOUGH THEY LOSE WITH THEIR TEAM, OR
THEY LEAVE WITH THEIR TEAM LOSING, THEY WERE TREATED TO
A PRETTY GOOD HOCKEY GAME.
11 GOALS, IT WAS AN ENTERTAINING GAME.
>> YEAH, FANS TREATED HERE ON BRICK CITY WEEKEND, THAT'S GOING
TO READ COPP FROM CLARE COMING IN AT 19:41 THE EMPTY NET GOAL,
BRICK CITY WEEKEND THE TIGERS FALL 7-4, BUT IF THERE'S EVER A
GAME WHERE YOU DON'T GET A POINT AND YOU FEEL PRETTY GOOD ABOUT
YOUR TEAM TONIGHT, THAT'S THE STORYLINE FOR THE RIT TIGERS.
>> I HOPE THE TIGERS TAKE THIS, EVEN THOUGH IT'S A LOSS, MOVING
FORWARD AND, THINK ABOUT IT, THEY STOOD TOE TO TOE WITH
ONE OF THE BEST TEAM IN THE COUNTRY AND I THINK THEY NEEDED
A GAME LIKE THAT, CONFIDENCE, THEY SHOULD TAKE A LOT OF
CONFIDENCE FROM THIS GAME MOVING FORWARD.
