Princeton entering the last few minutes with a two-goal lead...
Now 4-3, 38 sec left.

If this lead holds up in the last 90 seconds, all 4 games today will have ended in upset wins.

OMG!
Boneheaded play by Princeton's goalie. He made the save with 5 seconds left, then careless (IMHO) threw puck in the corner. UMD scores to tie it at 4-4 with 0.8 seconds left.
He probably should have held it, skated a bit and taken a face-off.

Foolish (if understandable) play by Kalemba with five seconds left, throwing the puck behind the net rather than hanging on for a faceoff. Unbelievable finish.

Too bad, as Princeton has been the better team tonight. I agree that Kalemba surely wishes he had that last play back. I'm sure that UMD's dominance on the face-offs played into his thinking, as he must have been determined to avoid a defensive zone face-off in that spot.

How difficult is it to tie the other team's faceoff guy and have your D-man or winger come in and get the puck?
The few times they had me playing center in Rec Hockey (against guys bigger and better than me), that is what I would do. Tie the guy up, and not worry about the puck. That should kill about 3 seconds.

Princeton is being eaten alive at the moment.
For reference, I only started watching in the second half of the third period, and UMD has been the superior team during the time I've been watching: they've kept play in Princeton's end and dominated puck possession.

In the 3rd, Princeton looked best on the PK with several good chances and a shorty. Other than that it's been all UMD.

UMD finishes Princeton in overtime 5-4. Got a PP goal about 14 minutes in. Pretty pass across the crease and Kalemba had no chance.
And then there was 1. Too bad - Kalemba deserves better (other than not covering that puck).

What, no love for the RPI fight song?
I can't remember it. I do like their alma mater, though.
I wrote a parody of this many years ago when I thought there weren't any words. Some of the RIP alums took umbrage, but I thought the parody was a bit more fun than this:
Hail, dear old Rensselaer, the college of our heart.
For dear old Rensselaer, we all must do our part.
True to old Rensselaer, we'll always strive to be.
Now, dear old Rensselaer, hail to thee.
Hear the tramp, tramp, tramp of marching feet.
Hear the rat-tat-tat of drums that beat.
Hear the voices ringing loud and sweet.
Hear that mighty shout of ...
Hail, dear old Rensselaer, the college of our heart.
For dear old Rensselaer, we all must do our part.
True to old Rensselaer, we'll always strive to be.
Now, dear old Rensselaer, hail to thee.
The non-PC version original version
Hail, Dear Old Rensselaer
Words & Music by Charles S. Root '34
Hail, dear old Rensselaer, the college of our heart.
For dear old Rensselaer, each man must do his part.
True sons of Rensselaer, we'll always strive to be.
Now, dear old Rensselaer, hail to thee.
Hear the tramp, tramp, tramp of marching feet.
Hear the rat-tat-tat of drums that beat.

Actually I think he made the right play. The last thing you want with a couple of seconds left is a face off in your defensive zone. You want the clock to keep running. Your defense should be better able to tie up the puck behind the net, or fire it out of the zone, rather than give it up on a face off with a chance of a good shot oh goal.Kyle Rose
I'm betting Kalemba feels pretty fucking lousy right now: it's really easy to blame him for this loss, given the idiocy he displayed in the final 10 seconds of regulation.
Oh, well: Cornell is the final hope of the EZAC this year.
I seem to remember us having been able to win a critical game by a late offensive face off win, and a shot from out front.
The blame should be to the defense, if anywhere.

Jim, I had the same thoughts. Had ugly flasbackbacks to that faceoff in our end with 5 seconds left, 36 years ago. If they win in regulation, everyone would say Kalemba made the right play. Don't know if one one was much better than the other. It comes down to execution afterward.Jim HylaActually I think he made the right play.

I didn't see the toss into the corner, so I don't know if he threw the puck on a Bulldog stick, but I don't think he wanted a faceoff. I immediately thought of the ECAC final in 2003. The play didn't start with 5 seconds left but it definitely didn't TAKE 5 seconds.Jim Hyla

But the defense has to be there to have the opportunity t tie it up. They weren't; he threw it away with total disregard for who was in the area or streaking towards the area.
It's too bad; it would have been nice for a couple of Ivy's to advance.

I have to disagree. It's one thing to do this if the forecheckers are relatively far away; it's another to do it--as was the case here--if they're right there with your d-men. There would have been four seconds or less on the clock if he had held on for the faceoff. The chances of any team scoring in that situation is 1 in 200, at best. He made the wrong play.

But what's the odds of a team scoring with the puck behind the next with 4 seconds left? Even if its put right on their stick. 1 in 199?

So, to summarize, Yale pulled a Clarkson and Princeton pulled a Harvard. Now I guess it's up for us to pull a Cornell, i.e., fall behind to Northeastern, come back and win it, then take Notre Dame to overtime before losing.

Okay, just saw the video of the goal on YouTube. It was an irresponsible drop back, no doubt.
He didn't shoot it into the corner, he lazily flipped it back only about 5 feet away from the goal. He had no time to think, I admit, but he shouldn't've done that.

FYP.
At least he should have taken a second to think about whether he wanted to put the puck back on the ice. The refs would have burned a few seconds waiting to blow the whistle.
