SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO APPLAUD YOUR ENEMY
I have been a die hard UNH hockey fan for many years. We are brutal to the opposition's players . . . especially the goalies on the other teams. For the past to nights we have been calling this man a SEIVE . . . but he was anything but a seive tonight. Providence College goalie Tyler Sims put on one of those performances that you have to applaud even as a fan of the opposing team. After 3 periods of play UNH and PC were tied up at 1 all. The game went about 15 minutes into DOUBLE OVERTIME. Over the course of the game UNH had 61 shots on net. Thank god for Daniel Winnick who was finally able to get the game winner. Sims was not only consoled by his team for the loss after all that effort but also by the UNH team who fought so hard to beat him. Especially by Winnik who showed true class in the handshake line at the end of the game.

I concur! He looked hurt early on in that game. Falling to his knee during a face off at the other end of the ice and yet he played one HELL of a game! It was NOT all his fault! He played hard and showed a lot of heart. But if you want to see heart---you have to look at the UNH team who each took their time with Sims in the line. Who knows what Winnik said to Sims, but you know it went something like, "Holy SHIT! You put up one HELL of a game!"
Nice post Nick!!! :)
