McCool doesn't always have the gaudy save percentage numbers, but he consistently makes the big ones. When Cuse desperately needs a save, he makes a save.

I was about to say you know what this game really needs? To come to a grinding halt for a goal mouth discussion.

Mental error from Cuse to close the half. Took possession with a timeout and enough time to draw something up, but don't use it. They go to the half with an empty possession and a timeout in their pocket. Orange lead 7-4, could be 8.

Cuse is flying around and they're winning with guys not named Spallina/Leo/Thomson. Anderson goal, Hottle cooking people from behind, Tyler McCarthy stinging corners. It's really impressive stuff.
