Providence showed one thing that we should recognize- talent can be worn down with a good system. One that isn't too bothered with adversity. BU easily had more talent- but it was localized on a few lines- which did put a lot of pressure on- but didn't put up the massive numbers- just enough.
PC, on the other hand, didn't let BU getting ahead bother them. After going down 2-1 in 6 seconds, they could have let up, but didn't. Gillies was strong enough to make sure the team didn't give up after the second goal- both of which, I would have expected him to stop, BTW.
And when PC hung around- you could see the game tilt toward them. Once they got the fluke goal- it was all Providence. The game winner was not covered at all- as BU wasn't all there.
So, Michigan- you need to work on staying mentally in the game, for the whole thing. Don't have those 5 min of play where a bad goal for whatever reasons means 2 more quick ones that we have to come back from.
Lots can be learned from other teams.
Congrats Providence- we were very much rooting for you!
