Knuckles vs Numbers

#2
I went to Game 1 of the Calder Cup (AHL) Playoff final on Saturday, Manchester Monarchs - Utica Comets. Bissonnette was playing for Manchester, winger on the 4th line. I thought he started off OK, first couple of shifts he had a nice pass out front of the crease for a chance and also had a shot on goal. After that, he was less effective. He got involved with some pushing and shoving (there was a lot of it after the whistle, but very few penalties called!) but the assistant refs were focussed on him and stopped him getting involved quite often. He barely saw the ice towards the end of the second and I don't think he got a shift in the 3rd (I could be mistaken) and definitely not in OT (although a goal was scored pretty quickly into OT).

Had I not been watching him closely, I don't think I would have noticed him.
