BSRS took the show on the road last night and made the trip out to Worcester to watch the Providence Bruins lead by former BU Terriers Colby Cohen and David Warsofsky defeat the Worcester Sharks(including John McCarthy and Sean Sullivan). Providence got on the board first with a J. Arniel goal before Worcester tied it up before the end of the 1st. The game was all Providence from there on out. Worcester's goalie C. Hutton was less than stellar letting some very stoppable shots through as Providence cruised to a 4-1 win to keep their slim playoff chances alive. The two teams square off again today in Providence at 4:15.
Colby Cohen started for Providence and looked fairly solid throughout the night posting a +2 rating for the evening and playing solid defense for the most part along with his usual one or two big slappers from the point. Dave Warsofsky also put out a solid effort for the Bruins. He had a bad slashing penalty in the second but besides that played a solid game making much better decisions than he did at BU this season and filling his role well besides pressing as he did here. Both former Terriers looked to be meeting expectations and both have a shot at playing in the NHL someday not too far away. It may be one or two years but both certainly have the potential. McCarthy and Sullivan both played well also and both could see time up and down between San Jose and Worcester over the next couple of season.
On a side note, there was one scuffle in the game that at one point lead to Colby Cohen putting former BU captain John McCarthy in a headlock but things were settled down from there. Cohen might not have even been doing it for anything but laughs and knowing McCarthy wouldn't fight him. Overall, the DCU center was a great atmosphere with over 7,000 packed in for this contest.
