Seems like Andy Fleming's style is to defend first at all costs then teach his guys that when the opposition gets lulled into complacency, or X gets a break to go for it. No unnecessary chances taken on offense though.
I think that Andy is content to have a 0-0 game if necessary, go to OT and his guys will find a way.

This is exactly right. Will Walker and Matt Vasquenza have enough playmaking ability between them that if they don't give any goals up, theyre going to have a great shot at winning the game.

XU playing some tight D but also just had a nice shot on goal (header) following a pass from the corner. Blue Jay goalie made a nice save. (Still 0-0 with about 10 minutes to go in the period).

Now down 2-0.
"He's a little bit ball-dominant, he needs to have the ball in his hands, and he's not a good shooter." Ball-dominant … isn't that a nice way of calling someone a ball hog? Where is my Jay Bilas Thesaurus?
