I'm hoping Colgate for Q, and that the Raiders take them out.

Rink is basically empty

Because why, health fears, or that's Yale fans for you?

Probably a little of both

Will be going to a second OT in New Haven.

Yale controlled the puck in the Union end for close to two minutes while the Union goalie didn't have his stick for much of that time, and made several saves. I was surprised that none of the Union players gave the goalie their stick. Is that not a thing these days?

[andyw2100]

Union appeared to have netted the game-winner, but it was immediately waved off (presumably for goaltender interference), and after a long review the call on the ice was upheld. Shortly after play restarted Yale scored while the Union goaltender once again did not have his stick.

So Yale advances.

Union readies for golf croquet.

I was one of the few fans in attendance at the Yale-Union double-OT thriller. By the end of the game, there couldn't have been more than 300 fans in the building, and that's being generous. Those of us there didn't have to worry about getting infected. We were sitting in the first row near the Union bench, and for most of the game, there wasn't anyone within 20 feet of us, with the exception of the Union trainer, who was separated from us by a plastic/glass door.
Regarding the low attendance, the Yalies were on spring break. And according to CHN's data, Yale only played to about 50 percent of capacity during the regular season. I'm sure fears of the Coronavirus also contributed.
As for the game itself, Yale dominated, and could have won the game in regulation if it had converted a 2-on-1 break and a shorthanded breakaway. Union's goalie was outstanding, but got away with losing his stick for an extended stretch in the first OT, but not in the second OT. Union has zero offense. It's easy to see why they averaged less than 2 goals per game and why they only scored on 11 percent of their powerplays. Foo's line is their No. 1 line and scored their lone goal, but otherwise there was little to choose between their lines. It's hard to believe we let them score 3 goals against us when they tied us at Union. Yale has a long losing streak against Q, and I'd be surprised if they give Q much of a battle next weekend.
There were at least 3 Cornell fans at the game! I almost saw as many Cornell jerseys as Yale ones.
