Added to the University men's impregnable defensive work, which was even better than in the Princeton game, there was a concerted speed and team-work in attack, and an ability to carry the puck out of the corners which showed an almost unbelievable improvement over the work of a week ago. Furthermore, each member of the team seemed to outdo himself individually. To mention the men who played excellently would be to mention all seven. There were two, however, whose work was really phenomenal and who more than any of the others proved McGill's undoing. These were Huntington...
Huntington played one of the finest forward games seen on the rink this year. Skating hard and continuously, he kept with the puck throughout the game, and was always where he was most needed. Time and again the McGill forward combination, when they had made a start down the ice were broken up by his body checking and stick-work as he came up from behind; and he often blocked off the dashes of Rankin, the heavy McGill coverpoint. In addition to his defensive work, Huntington scored two out of the three goals. About half way through the first half...
...other goal was made by Blackall early in the second half on a dash the length of the rink. He carried the puck through the whole McGill team, fooling the defence, who expected him to pass, and easily pushed it by Warwick. Blackall and Willets were strong on the defence, but nevertheless McGill was continually shooting at Gardner; and it was his work in blocking these shots which made possible a shut out. Thirty stops were placed to his credit, many of which were made on fast and accurate shots by Thompson and Scott, and two or three on quick...
...great speed in following back and general defensive work. Right wing has been the most difficult place to fill, but Pierce is progressing well and seems to be the best man. The greatest weakness of the defence is its inability to body check and its inability to get the puck out of the corners. In this latter respect, however, much improvement has been shown since the Cornell game a week...
...more than the usual amount of speed and played with much dash. The defence was some what weakened by the absence of Blackall, who is laid up with a slight injury. He will without doubt play on Saturday. Wingate did well, but was not very fast in getting the puck out of the corners...
