Some settling may occur. Although the site looks the same the file structure was radically revamped, and I'll be chasing poor, wandering links for a while.

Your patience is and comments are appreciated.

Greg, the link from "Landmark games" to the November 25, 1965 game doesn't work for me. Thanks.

So what's the story behind the goalie situation in Game 2 (March 16, 1991) against Michigan in the NCAA first round? How is it that D'Alessio only played 9 seconds? Did he start the game and leave due to an injury?

Yes, I DO have better things to do, but I was able to find my old write-up on this game fairly quickly. I have D'Alessio playing 1:09, rather than 0:09. Anyway, Jim Crozier started in goal for the Red, but after Michigan went up 3-0 on Tamer's goal, Crozier was pulled in favor of D'Alessio, at least temporarily. When Doug Derraugh scored to make it 3-1, Crozier went back in.

If I remember correctly, in the 1990-91 season, a team had a chance to warm up a new goaltender when yanking a goaltender in the middle of the period. This was a strategy for getting a long time out for a team needing a rest or momentum change. It has since been barred.

In March 1982, Al Arbour pulled Billy Smith before an Islander power play in the fifth game of a best-of-5 series against the Penguins. There were less than six muntes left in the third period, and the Islanders trailed 3-1. Rollie Melanson wamped up, the Islanders quickly scored, and Billy Smith came back in the net. The Islanders won the game 4-3 in overtime and ultimately won their third straight Stanley Cup that year. Not long afterward, the NHL put an end to the goaltender-warmup break with what is known as the Al Arbour rule. Al Arbour wasn't the first person to use this strategy, but this was its most celebrated use.

The NCAA adopted its version of the Al Arbour rule sometime in the 90s.

According to my notes from the '91 NCAA series (which may be inaccurate, as I was listening on the radio), D'Alessio did not warm up when he went in for Crozier.

I'm guessing that, down 3-0 early in game two of a three-game series, McCutcheon pulled Crozier to rest him for game three (Cornell had won game one.). When a quick goal made it 3-1, McCutcheon put Crozier back in hoping to win the series in two games.
