Air force up 2-0 on a nice 2on1 goal.
AFA 2 - Mich. 0, 12 min. left in 2nd
2-0 end of two periods
[quote Chris 02]2-0 end of two periods[/quote]
During intermission, AFA calls HC for celebration advice. In other news, BU isn't complaining about getting tOSU in the first round anymore - though I guess they'd rather have Bemidji.
Go Air Force!
Through the first 53 minutes, AFA has played a very solid fundamental game.

Ditto. But it is that dreaded 2-goal lead and the Falcons seem very content to gain the red line and dump it in Michigan's zone.
2-0, 7 minutes left in the third.

The shot totals are misleading. Until Matt Rust hit the top of the post with 5 minutes left, the Wolverines hadn't had many Grade A chances. There have been lots of Grade B chances, but AFA has been effective at not allowing Michigan many chances in the slot.

It's over. The 2009 NCAA tournament starts off with a bang.
Air Force 2, Michigan 0.
Game over. No wonder Red hates traveling east of Ohio.
I missed the first 26 or 27 minutes. After I started watching, AFA's keep-the-opponent-to-the-outside strategy reminded me of the first two periods of the Cornell-Minnesota regional final in 2005.
Guess this is what happens when Michigan doesn't play in a Michigan regional.
huge upset, opens the door for Yale to the Frozen Four?
Do we think Justin will carry Yale-Vermont?
Also seems to open the door for Air Force!

Yale looked like us against them last Saturday in the 1st. Open nets, rebounds in front, just not lucky enough to bang one home.
anyone know of any net streams of Vermont-Yale Video?
Still 2-0 Vermont, just past the midway point, After the TV timeout Vermont will be on the power play. Yale called for too many men on the ice.
Geez, tough penalty on UVM with the ref assuming the cover up.
Another UVM penalty. Yale getting a 5x3 for 58 seconds. Yale takes a timeout. 4:43 left in the second.

Well the first 2 games of the tournament are upsets, and the third one is looking like an upset. Lets hope at least the next 2 after that are upsets as well.
Hey Rita -
Final score in Mich/AF was 2-0. And I don't know what you have against Michigan, but it's definitely the best fight song in the world. Also, Miami just finished off Denver 4-2 and UVM is beating Yale 2-0. Maybe it's a lower seed type thing going on. Would be good for us tomorrow. Maybe it will turn around for the regional finals and we'll get all 3 seeds in the frozen four. I wouldn't complain.

Alright cool. I'll show up to your house with a boom box with it on and play it on repeat for 48 straight hours. That's what it's like going to a regional with Michigan. Eleventy billion times they play it.

Sorry. Typo on the Michigan score. The Miami-Denver game ended as I was eating dinner (which was not ::popcorn::).
I'm living in Big 10 country, but not in Ann Arbor, so I believe that hatred of UM comes with the territory.
Their fight song is obnoxious, and it will be flushed from my brain in about 23 hours by the ND fight song, which is 3rd on the list of "overplayed fight songs" behind #1 UM, #2 USC.
(disclaimer: when I was living in Oregon, USC was #1 and UM #2 ;-)).
5:26 to go, still 3-0 Vermont, you can pretty much stick a fork in Yale
5:26 to go, UVM up 3-zip. Very disappointing -- Yale had a genuinely good team. :-/
Vermont scores again 4-0, 3:35 remaining
Yay Vermont!
I'm going to the frozen four and one of my three treams has to make it. Michigan is gone..and I don't know if it's our year.
now 4-0 Vermont. 3:35 left.

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.

Princeton starts burning tomorrow's fuel again. Let's hope they can score quickly.
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 PP
Princeton blows.
UMD 5-4 over Princeton on PPG. Poor Princeton.
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).
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
So its now been how many years since an ECAC team other than Cornell won an NCAA game?

One. Clarkson beat perennial NCAA loser St. Cloud last year in the first round before losing to Michigan.
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.
[quote HockeyMan]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.[/quote]
Agreed: this was exactly my thought when I saw the play. Goals directly off faceoffs are very rare.
[quote Al DeFlorio][quote DeltaOne81]So its now been how many years since an ECAC team other than Cornell won an NCAA game?[/quote]
One. Clarkson beat perennial NCAA loser St. Cloud last year in the first round before losing to Michigan.[/quote]
Something had to give in that one.

It was directed at me. And I was referring to me! Seriously, are you really this dense?
Note to RichH: I lose again.
[quote jtwcornell91]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.[/quote]
Quite a prediction!::burnout::
