Milton Comes Back to Tie Up Exeter, 2-2
Milton, Mass. – On paper, before today’s game, there was little to separate Exeter and Milton, and now, after 59 minutes of hockey between the two teams produced a 2-2 tie here today, there’s even less to separate them.
“Two good teams,” said Milton coach Paul Cannata afterwards. “The game had a really controlled feel, didn’t it? It almost had a pro game feel to it. At times we pressed and at times they pressed – there was an ebb and flow to the game. Neither team was really willing to press the pedal and force the issue.”
“And that,” Cannata added, “results in two goals for one team, and two goals for the other.”
Exeter scored the game’s first two goals, the first coming on a power play 5:07 into the first period, when Ted McKenna, from behind the net, got the puck out front to Jamie Core who one-timed it past Milton junior goalie Tom Tysowsky. Exeter then went up 2-0 on an even-strength goal at 2:53 of the second period. This was just one of those goals where the puck was bouncing around in front of the net, and everyone was just whacking away at it. Eventually Cam Chaput banged it past Tysowsky.
It began to look like Milton’s unbeaten streak might be in jeopardy.
But that didn’t happen.
Milton began its comeback just a little over a minute later when junior Jay Haseley, from the left faceoff circle, fired a low, ice-skimming shot on net. The puck hit the blade of Exeter goalie Ryan Purdy’s stick and deflected up into the top corner at the 3:55 mark. A goal, no doubt, that Purdy would like back.
With about seven minutes left in the period, Exeter’s Jeff Reppucci was called for a hold, and Tommy Clayton was called for a slash. Suddenly, Milton, down by a goal, had a 5-on-3. Cannata called a timeout.
When play resumed, Milton steadily and patiently worked the puck down low until junior Kyle Hunchberger, from the left side, found Ryan Edwards at the far post. Purdy was unable to get across quickly enough, and Edwards found daylight inside the post. It was a 2-2 game. And that’s where it stayed, though the third period, and overtime as well.
There were chances, but not a lot of Grade A scoring opportunities. Both goalies played well, but neither really was called upon to do anything extraordinary. Purdy probably had the tougher of the chances.
In the shot department, Exeter had a 31-30 edge. Like we said up top: there wasn’t much to separate these two teams today, and probably any other day either.
“It was too bad for us,” Exeter head coach Dana Barbin said afterwards. “They tied it on a 5-on-3. But, hey, the score indicated what it was: a very even game. I thought our effort was terrific -- and Purds is a good tender.”
