And also, the coach added, because “sometimes when you pull a guy out, he gets an ovation, and I thought John certainly deserved an ovation by himself.” Backup Justin Tobe made a perfect ten stops in 9:26 of relief. During the following night’s championship victory, Daigneau stopped 19 of 21 shots and was named Most Outstanding Player on the All-Tournament team. Donato said he was asked before the second game if he felt...
