It’s harder than it looks.

I really want to start this in some cliché way like, ‘What a decade it’s been for Auburn baseball!’ and I would be completely justified with that. Auburn started the 201Xs with an SEC Western Division Championship, the only one of those in the decade, and hosting their first regional since 1999 and the only one we have seen in these past 10 seasons (though Butch and the Boys got jobbed out of one two years ago). Following that was one of the most desolate stretches of baseball Auburn has seen. From 2011-16, Auburn would make one NCAA tournament appearance and win a single game, go through two coaches, going through one of those after fall practicing and forcing a first- time head coach to learn the players while actually playing real, meaningful games. October 21st, 2015 was the lowest point, but the 22nd is where you would see the line level out and begin to move back up. Butch Thompson was that first-time coach and began the March to Omaha. A ton of great players have graced the turf at Plainsman Park and I have witnessed or listened to most of the games during that time so here are the ones that I feel would be on my All-Decade team for the Auburn Tigers.

OUTFIELD AND DESIGNATED HITTER

LF: Jonah Todd (2017)

CF: Anfernee Grier (2014-16)

RF: Trent Mummy (2010)

DH: Kevin Patterson (2010-11)

Center Field - Anfernee Grier

There are going to be a ton of Honorable Mentions for this, so settle down all you new fans to Auburn baseball. Let’s start with one that I know people are asking, “Who?” Trent Mummy was the Tigers Right Fielder in the magical 2010 and finished in second for the batting title with a robust .366 average and was 3rd on the team in Home Runs with 17, despite missing half the games that season due to injury. Also, in Trent’s corner and a bit of a personal note, my buddies and I select a player each year that we believe will win the Dong Championship (Most Home Runs) and my brother selected Trent in the 2010 season. During one game that year, Trent showed bunt, pulled it back, and proceeded to crush one over K Korner for a 3 run bomb. I don’t think I have ever seen my brother freak out like that and never let us forget about the time he saw “The coolest thing he’s ever seen” (Love ya Will). Back to the list, Center Field was probably the toughest position to fill and you will see why when we get to Left Field. Anfernee Grier is the choice here because he was and still is an all-world talent, unbelieve range in the outfield who helped account for 364 Put Outs in his Auburn career and finished in the field with a .966 Field Percentage. As good as he was in the field, he was just as good at the dish, with a .323 BA over his career and 14 bombs and 35 stolen bases. His senior season was by far his best. A .366 BA, 41 RBIs, 12 HRs, a Slugging Percentage of .576 and matched his sophomore season with 3 triples. To Grier’s right hand side, I would put the man that took over Center for him in the 2017 season, Jonah Todd in Left Field. Todd was a Junior College transfer out of Marion Military Academy and all he did was fill the shoes of Grier and become a guy that Auburn fans would grow to love in just 63 games. Todd was everything you want in a ball player, gritty, tough and loved the game. As a lead off man at the dish, all Todd did was lead the team in BA with a .376 and was second in the SEC for the year. Think he beefed it up against non conference foes? Nope, Todd excelled in conference play batting .404. Oh and his 91 hits, were the most by an Auburn Tiger since a guy named Hunter Morris played. Todd was a Second Team All-SEC performer and also was named as an SEC All-Defensive team selection with only one error in the 17 season. Todd went from undrafted out of JC to a 6th round pick of the Angels in the 2017 draft and is still in the game today. At DH, I decided to go old school again and pick up Kevin Patterson. KP’s best season was his Junior year of 2010 where he was named the First Team All-SEC DH, batting .315 with six doubles, two triples, 16 bombs and 33 RBIs on the year. He was able to tally a .782 slugging percentage and popped up the BA to .407 against SEC competion.

US PRESSWIRE

First Base - Hunter Morris

Alright, let’s get to the slam dunk of the All-Decade team. The SEC Player of the Year in 2010, first Auburn player to win the award since Tim Hudson did it in 1997, Hunter Morris. Morris led the Conference in Slugging Percentage (.767), in hits (94), in home runs (20) and in total bases (1818), was second in runs scored (60), third in RBIs (67) and was fifth in Batting Average (.398) through the regular season. When it was all said and done, Morris would have a BA of .386 and 23 Home Runs on the year in 2010. Morris would be receiving soft tosses from a guy he knew well in Casey McElroy at second base. Though Ryan Bliss made a major push this past season and Luke Jarvis before him, I have to give the nod to C-Mac based only on work at the plate. McElroy batted .325 on that 2010 team while driving home 9 bombs and 43 RBIs. His Junior year was even more impressive at the dish, with a BA of .372 and driving in another 9 Home Runs despite the 2011 year being the first year of the ‘dead bat’ era. He was that dangerous back half of the lineup guy that teams hate to have to face. Casey’s Double Play partner would be none other than Will Holland. I really don’t need to introduce you to the Dutchman but that won’t stop me. Holland finished his Auburn career with a .256 BA, 24 dingers, 102 RBIs and was named Second Team All-SEC and First Team All-South Region by ABCA in his sophomore season. Though he didn’t have the offensive season he had hoped for in 2019, he was the unquestioned leader of the team outside of Tanner Burns and was one of the key cogs that helped the Tigers get back to Omaha in 2019. At Third Base is one of the lone bright spots from the dark years of 2011-16 on the field for the Tigers in Demek Tomscha, who carries the banner for other Tigers like Garrett Cooper, Ryan Tella, ‘Macho Man’ Patrick Savage and Daniel Robert just to name a few, who gave Tiger fans hope, even when the rest of the SEC had caught up with the Tigers in the early days of the baseball facilities race, a race that Auburn is slowly moving in to. Back to Tomascha, the Big Iowan had a career .293 BA with 12 Homers and had a fielding percentage of .955 at the hot corner while having only 18 errors in 165 attempts. Tomschas senior year was his best though, .313 BA with 5 HRs and 29 RBIs. Behind the dish is Ryan Jenkins. The man that wouldn’t be on this list if it weren’t for an injury earlier in his career, Jenks was given an extra year of eligibility from the NCAA and was allowed to play on the 2010 team. He took advantage, being named to the Second team All-SEC with a .365 BA (tied for 3rd best on the ‘10 team) and a robust .404 average against SEC teams. Though Jenkins was spelled by Tony Caldwell, he was the leadership glue, along with Morris, that got the 2010 team to the SEC Western Division title.

Midweek Starter - Grant Dayton

One thing I believe we will all agree on is that the pitching in the back half of the decade has been head and shoulders above the first half. No offense to the likes of John Luke Jacobs, Corey Luckie and Slade Smith who all had solid careers in the first half but when you have six of the eight spots come from guys that hit their stride from 2015 on, that says something. The headliner is without question, Auburn’s first and only top draft pick Casey Mize. We will quickly hit the highlights of his masterful career. 2.95 ERA, 324 Ks, a WHIP of 0.44 and a 20-13 record that included 5 Complete Games (a rarity in college ball) that also included a no-no in his junior year (one batter away from a perfecto). Saturday’s Starter is the man that trained Casey on how to pitch Friday Nights, Keegan Thompson. Thompson was the backbone of the pitching staff through a disjointed career that involved a redshirt season due to an arm injury. For his career, Thompson posted a 2.46 ERA with a 19-10 record that included 4 complete games (two each in his Freshman and Sophomore season) and teams batted only .207 against him. He was drafted by the Cubs in the 3rd round and was the highest pitcher taken from Auburn, at the time, since Steven Register back in 2004. That takes us to the Sunday starter in the person of Tanner Burns. Burns is an absolute bulldog that gets after it in a big way. Last year, Burns was named a 3rd team All American by Perfect Game and so far in his career boasts a 2.92 ERA with an 11-8 with one complete game while only allowing teams to bat .222 against him. Burns will be the unquestioned Friday Night starter for the 2020 version of the Auburn Tigers who look to get back to Omaha for the second year in a row. For the midweek starter, because this is my list and I want an insane midweek starter, I will take Grant Dayton. Looking at only his 2010 stats, Dayton posted a 4.36 ERA with an 8-3 record while allowing teams to bat .269 against the Tigers 2010 Friday night starter. The thing to remember about the four pitchers above, each one of them started on Friday night’s and faced the best of the best in the SEC and in Dayton’s case, faced them in the BB-Core ‘live bat’ days.

That brings us to the relievers, headlined by Cole Lipscomb. Lipscomb was a starter for the Tigers until Casey Mize emerged as the dominate force he turned out to be. For his career, Lipscomb held a 3.55 ERA with a 14-7 record while holding teams to a .234 BAA. In his senior year, Lipscomb was an over powering matchup, as he was able to give the Tigers the long relief they needed to finish out games. You always need that ‘do anything you need him to guy’ in the pen and that guy was Andrew Mitchell. Need him to start 10 games in his freshman year? You got it, and he would go 4-4 in them. Need a reliable arm to give you a few outs to get you to Lipscomb? Mitchell’s your guy. Pitching staff needs a Sunday starter and you gotta have some solid innings? Yup, Andrew Mitchell. While his stats won’t blow you away, a 4.95 ERA and an 11-10 career record and a .256 BAA, I will take guys like Mitchell any day of the week to get me out of a sticky inning any day. After that inning though, who do you go to? If this was before 2018, the answer is Austin Hubbard. In 2010, Hubbard had a year to remember. In the live bat era, Hubbard post a 2.44 ERA with a 6-2 record and held opponents to a .239 BAA. However, I said before 2018, Hubbard would be my closer, after it though, is only one man.

The closer for the All-Decade team is Cody Greenhill. Twenty is the monster. The man teams hate to see in the 9th. The hard throwing righty from Russellville currently has a 2.87 ERA with an 8-6 record to his name with 17 saves (just 5 away from Austin Hubbard’s 22 in 4 years) in just 2 seasons. Greenhill has also shown he can go for a while to get the save, as The Bull has only gone 1 inning or less in 10 of his 49 career appearances.

Honorable Mention (from most recent to oldest): Elliott Anderson, Davis Daniel, Calvin Coker, Corey Herndon, Trey Cochran-Gill, Dillon Ortman, Rocky McCord, Corey Luckie, Jon Luke Jacobs, Sean Ray

Choosing 2FA authenticator apps can be laborious. Ars did it so you don’t have to

Aurich & Hannah Lawson

Final 12 months, Sergio Caltagirone discovered himself in a tricky spot. Whereas touring, his cellphone broke and stopped working fully. With no entry to his Google and Microsoft authenticator apps, he misplaced entry to two-factor authentication when he wanted it most—when he was logging in from IP addresses not acknowledged by the 30 to 40 websites he had enrolled.

“I had a whole bunch of sites [that] I had to go through a massively long account restoration process because I lost my 2FA,” mentioned Caltagirone, who’s senior VP of menace intelligence at safety agency Dragos. “Every time, I had to contact customer service. I had different levels of requirements I had to go through for them to effectively disable 2FA on my account. Some required address verification. [For others,] I had to send a last bill. The number of those I went through was just insane.”

Skinny blades

The expertise exhibits the double-edged sword of multi-factor authentication. Requiring customers to enter a password that’s pseudorandomly generated each 30 seconds makes account takeovers considerably more durable, even when an attacker has phished or in any other case obtained the password. However within the occasion that second issue (on this case, the “something you have,” that’s, the cellphone) isn’t accessible, that very same safety can block professional customers from logging in for unacceptably lengthy durations of time.

When Caltagirone relayed his expertise final September, a fast survey of the accessible shopper and small-business authenticators left a lot to be desired. Just a few of them made it doable to again up the distinctive cryptographic seeds that every cellphone makes use of to generate a time-based one-time password, or TOTP. Web sites—together with Google, Github, Fb, and lots of of others that implement the Time-Based mostly One-Time Password Algorithm customary—require the momentary password to log in customers who choose in to 2FA.

The consequence? When your system was stolen, misplaced, or stopped working, you had to undergo the identical painful and time-consuming account recoveries Caltagirone did. The dearth of a backup and restoration mechanism meant the one viable means to hedge in opposition to a tool loss or malfunction was to print, scan, or {photograph} every QR code or the underlying Internet hyperlink (as an illustration, http://[email protected]/?secret=LZZIKRWX736EH2IQ&issuer=Slack) it represented. That was time consuming. Even worse, it was cumbersome and insecure to retailer them, significantly when touring.

Sadly, there’s a double-edged TOTP sword that’s equally vexing. By storing them on another person’s server, typically with solely a password and SMS-verification required to restore them, they’re weak to theft, at the very least within the extra rigorous menace mannequin situations. I examined Authy, Duo Cellular,LastPass Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, and Google Authenticator and located that each one apart from Google Authenticator provided a viable means for backing up TOTP seeds and recovering them within the occasion the cellphone or different system was misplaced.

The safety was satisfactory for all 4 of the authenticators that provided restoration, however each additionally has weaknesses that in excessive instances make them weak to (relying on the app) hackers, malicious insiders, or regulation enforcement companies with a court docket order. I believed by such situations and the risk-benefit evaluation of every authenticator with invaluable assist from Mark Gamache, a Seattle-area safety skilled centered on utilized cryptography and authentication.

Assessing the safety, modeling the menace

Nothing on this publish ought to be construed to say individuals shouldn’t use 2FA. Even with backups turned on, utilizing TOTP-based 2FA is surely higher than not utilizing 2FA. And it’s vital to bear in mind right here, as with every safety evaluation, that there’s nobody measurement matches all. What’s most safe for one individual isn’t essentially true for one more. This round-up is much less about telling readers which authenticator backup is essentially the most safe and extra about serving to readers assume by all the varied concerns.

One of many menace fashions Gamache and I assumed is a hacker (1) efficiently acquiring a password by phishing or different means (in any case, that’s the situation that 2FA, by definition, anticipates) and (2) taking management of a person’s cellphone quantity by a SIM swap or different means. Whereas these necessities are steep, they’re not unprecedented, significantly in opposition to targets with massive quantities of Bitcoin saved in on-line wallets.

Extra threats embody a malicious insider at one of many authenticator providers or a authorities company who both steals confidential knowledge or compels that it be turned over. Once more, these are excessive situations, however not unprecedented.

In the end, I settled on three authenticators—Authy, Duo and LastPass—as a result of they gave me confidence that, absent unknown software program bugs or cryptographical oversites, their backup and restoration processes labored utilizing zero information. The precept signifies that secret TOTP seeds are by no means accessible to anybody aside from the top person. The reassurance requires that each one encryption and decryption is carried out on the shopper’s native system, and the info is encrypted each in-transit and at relaxation on the supplier’s servers.

The 2 authenticators that stood out have been Duo and Authy. Each made backups simple, and gave me an inexpensive stage of confidence that they might maintain the key seeds safe and confidential below my menace fashions. Each authenticators focus totally on enterprise clients, who pay to use them to log massive numbers of workers into company portals and personal networks.

Makers of each authenticators present a collection of further safety providers that go effectively past 2FA, equivalent to serving to directors monitor which of their hundreds of workers’ gadgets haven’t put in safety updates. Duo Safety and the corporate behind Authy (referred to as Authy) additionally provide a free authenticator model that works with any third-party web site that makes use of the TOTP customary, and that’s the main target of this roundup.

The great

Authy was my best choice as a result of the backup pushes encrypted seeds to a number of gadgets, together with Macs, PCs, tablets, spare telephones, or Linux machines. The seeds are then synced amongst all of the gadgets such {that a} change or addition on one system will mechanically be populated to all of the others. Within the occasion a person loses one system, her different gadgets will proceed to produce TOTPs. The seeds can then be added to the substitute system.

Apart from offering the reassurance of a sturdy means to backup and restore, this technique supplies the comfort of getting a number of working authenticators and of utilizing them from a a lot wider vary of gadgets than is feasible with the opposite authenticators on this roundup. (Duo allowed me to use a number of telephones, however all of them had to run both Android or iOS. Additionally, modifications or additions made on one system didn’t sync with the others.)

Authy customers arrange a password throughout the backup course of that encrypts seeds on the system earlier than sending them to Authy servers. With out the password, seeds can not be decrypted and are misplaced perpetually. With out going by a rigorous restoration course of (extra about that later), customers can’t obtain the encrypted seed knowledge from Twilio with out demonstrating management of the unique system or cellphone quantity used when organising the authenticator.

One other plus: Authy goes to better lengths than all however one different authenticator in documenting how seeds are encrypted on a tool. The Authy mechanism provides a randomized cryptographic salt to the user-chosen passcode after which passes it by at the very least 1,000 rounds of PBKDF2, an algorithm that’s among the many finest at thwarting password cracking assaults that use both phrase lists or brute forcing to guess the password.

The ensuing hash is used to generate a key that makes use of the time-tested Superior Encryption Customary to encrypt the seeds. The method additionally provides an initialization vector for every enrolled account. Solely after this course of is carried out domestically, that means on the person system, are the encrypted seed, salt, and IV despatched to Twilio.

The consequence: Twilio has no capability to retailer and even see the backup password and therefore has no capability to decrypt the seed knowledge. After receiving the salt, IV, and encrypted, the Twilio server will ship the info to approved backup gadgets. The person then enters the backup password on every system because the final lacking piece to decrypt the seed. (The worth of the salt/IV is to present one other layer of safety within the occasion an attacker manages to steal the encrypted seed from Twilio, however not the salt/IV.)

Within the occasion a person loses all of their gadgets however nonetheless has management of the cellphone quantity, the person should undergo an account restoration course of that features a necessary ready interval to recuperate the encrypted seed knowledge. Within the occasion the person loses each the cellphone and the cellphone quantity first used to arrange Authy, the restoration course of will be extra concerned and will require producing a government-issued ID, amongst different issues. As soon as once more, although, none of it will assist in the occasion the restoration password is misplaced.

The factor I favored least about Authy is its use of SMS or voice calls to confirm a brand new system is allowed to obtain encrypted seeds. Because of this information of the backup password and a SIM swap are all that’s wanted to recuperate and decrypt the info. To be clear, that is an excessive menace mannequin, and different authenticators equally enable SMS or an electronic mail handle for verification.

Authy has extra particulars on the backup and restore processes right here. This is the circulate when utilizing a Pixel XL as the first system and backing up and syncing to a Home windows laptop computer:

A number of seeds on the first system.

Select settings after which the Accounts tab. Activate the Backups button.

Click on on the Gadgets tab and activate Enable multi system. Click on the okay button.

In Authy on the PC, enter the cellphone quantity used to register the Pixel XL

Select a means for to confirm the backup and sync. I am not snug with the usage of SMS or voice, however I am positive there are legitimate usability causes for this alternative.

The Pixel XL will obtain an SMS, voice name with a quantity or a push requiring a response.

All enrolled accounts will present on the PC, however notice the padlock to the proper. Meaning the seeds aren’t but accessible.

On the PC, enter the password set when backing up the Pixel XL.

Voila! The all seeds can be found. From right here on, any additions or modifications made on one system will sync to the opposite system.

The Pixel XL exhibiting all linked gadgets.

From Thomas F. Sullivan Arena, St. Anselm College, Goffstown, NH – January 6, 2020

Monday night Goffstown hockey was back at it again, and playing their fifth consecutive Division I opponent. It was the Saber Titans from Nashua North-Souhegan (NNS) that came calling on the Grizzlies at Sullivan Arena. This time the home team moved the puck efficiently and erupted for four goals on their first eleven shots on goal on their way to a 7-1 victory.

The Grizzlies line up for the National Anthem, sung by world record holder, Alan St. Louis. (Jen Webber Photography)

The final score may have been 7-1 in favor of Goffstown but the final score doesn’t tell the entire story. If Goffstown freshman goaltender, Jake Webber, didn’t bring his ‘A-game’ to the rink the outcome could have been very different. The Saber Titans piled up 35 shots on goal, hitting double digits in each period of the game. Webber held the shutout until he let the 32nd shot that he faced get past him. The Grizzlies had a 7-0 lead when this happened, but the home team and crowd were all pulling for Jake to get the shutout. With a 7-goal differential after two periods, the final period was running time on the clock. Even then, NNS managed 11 shots on goal and Webber was tested often. On the other end of the ice, Colin Duckless allowed 7 goals on 21 shots, but you’d be hard pressed to say that he had a bad night because at least 4 of Goffstown’s goals were tremendous passing plays leading to near perfect shots.

Jake was smiling with Colby and Melanie, and he had reason to with 34 saves in the win. (Jen Webber Photography)

Overall, the Grizzlies are now 5-4 on the season, with a 5-1 record in NHIAA League play. The Grizzlies are still without two players that are in their top twelve or so. Goffstown is young overall, especially on the defensive side of the puck. The inexperience has shown through quite clearly at times. They have had a difficult time getting out of their own end on a regular basis which is compounded by the lack of offensive zone time that the Grizzlies are able to maintain. After the last two seasons which boasted maybe the best cycling line in NH, this year is a stark difference. Now, having just completed 5 consecutive games against Division I opponents who regularly have more depth and speed than most Division II programs, the learning curve has been steep. It’s still early and the youth is getting more experience every single night. Melanie Riendeau is the only senior in the defensive group and she is getting significantly more ice time this season. Eric DesRuisseaux and Eric Purcell are both juniors and have seen their time on ice way up too. This is isn’t just about age, experience, or what grade these players are in, but also about the team chemistry on the ice. Getting to know where your defense partner will be, how they skate, what their tendencies are, etc. Colby Wright (So.) as well as Xavier Bibaud (Fr.) and Brennan Pierce (Fr.) are also getting lots of ice time and getting better every week. Isaac McGregor (So.) would be in the middle of all this as well but he’s been out for 3 weeks now, and hopefully healthy soon.

Luke Chase and the Grizzlies were able to capitalize on scoring chances early in the game to play with a lead. (Jen Webber Photography)

Personally, I think that the Goffstown goaltending rotation (Madeline Sage, James Amorelli, and Jake Webber) has been nothing short of outstanding so far. Given the fact that the Grizzlies are being outshot by an almost 2-1 ratio through nine games this season, Goffstown has a team save percentage of 89.47%. That is astounding based on the quality of shots they have faced not to mention the sheer quantity of shots. If the goaltenders can maintain this level of goaltending while the group in front of them improves and gels together, this could be a very interesting season right into March. A pair of freshmen, Landon Wilson and Ethan Santoro are also goaltenders in the Goffstown program that will get some minutes in practices and JV scheduled games.

(Jen Webber Photography)

Up front Goffstown lost their program’s all-time leading scorer and the number three scorer of all-time who combined for 100 points (40g-60a) by themselves last season. Don’t feel too bad though because Colby Gamache and Grady Chretien are back and they had 85 points (46g-39a) on their own last season. Add in Theo Milianes who has plenty of skill with the puck, with a host of freshmen, and the Grizzlies could still pile up some goals. Jackson Burke, David Martineau (injured), Jack Wilkinson, Drew O’Brien (Sr.), Corbin Huntley, Jake Klardie, and Brandon Bograd are all first year players in the program and are showing lots of promise. Anne St. Cyr is another freshman among the alternates in the program. Luke Chase (Jr.), Sean Hunter (Jr.), and Calvin Sage (Jr.) are all back and contributing in various ways. They are not afraid to mix it up, or to be difficult to play against. Lucas Ouellette is the only sophomore forward and has already shown a great deal of growth since last season.

Chretien scores for the Grizzlies in the second period with Wilkinson on the doorstep. (Jen Webber Photography)

Monday night Goffstown started slow as Nashua North-Souhegan rattled off a few shots at Webber before they had even broken a sweat. NNS would get shots and opportunities throughout the game. All game. But it was Goffstown that executed on a very high level in the offensive end. The Grizzlies drew a penalty that was a borderline penalty shot scenario. Tripping was the call and Goffstown needed only 37 seconds of power-play time to take a 1-0 lead. Colby Wright moved the puck from low to high, back to Colby Gamache at the point. Gamache made a pass instead of taking a shot and found Grady Chretien for the goal at the far post at 8:45. Less than two minutes later Luke Chase pounded a rebound home that was set in motion by Xavier Bibaud. Then at 12:34 of the period Jackson Burke fed a pass ahead to Theo Milianes who made a gorgeous pass to Eric DesRuisseaux at the back door for a tap in goal. Before the opening period ended, the Grizzlies were killing a penalty when Gamache feathered a pass from his own end out through center ice which allowed Chretien to skate onto the puck. Chretien gathered and shot all in one motion just before reaching the opposing net and put the puck in the top corner to make it 4-0 at 14:15 of the period.

The second period began with the Grizzlies still shorthanded and a Jake Webber right pad save turned into a goal for the Grizzlies. Webber faced a shot from his left and made a great right pad save that rebounded all the way to center ice where Grady Chretien snatched it up. Chretien did the rest, and sniped a goal at the other end to give Goffstown a 5-0 lead at 0:38. Theo Milianes walked in and scored a beautiful goal of his own at 4:34 of the period. Then Chretien capped off the Goffstown scoring with his 4th goal of the night when Eric DesRuisseaux set him up at 12:04.

(Jen Webber Photography)

With the clock running for the entire third period, it passed quickly but NNS never stopped skating and working. Finally, at 10:03, on the power play, Peter Lennox scored for the Saber Titans. I am sure that Jake Webber would like that shot back, but one finally got past him. Webber had made several good saves on the night, even in the third period against a 2-on-1. Jake also had 3 straight rapid fire saves in the first period at 6:35 of the period. But the save everyone was talking about came in the second period at 7:14 when he made a sensational save at the short side post after a flurry in front of him. So, Goffstown improved to 5-1 in the standings and set themselves up for the rest of the week. The Grizzlies play three more home games this week, against the #1, #3, and #5 teams in the standings, in Dover, Keene, and Somersworth-Coe-Brown. Goffstown hosts Keene at 5:00 pm on Wednesday (1/8/2020).
