I guess that Consy thread never came about.

Now 1-1 with 9:23 to go in the 1st and the SLU(t) goes on the power play just after they tie it.

Changed my mind. I had a feeling I was only updating myself.

Gotcha - I don't know about anybody else, but I find this game to be really interesting. NCAA bid on the line.

SLU(t) going back on the PP - wonder if Princeton is just a little bit worn out from last night and are trying to make up with it with a little more clutching and grabbing.

From what I read in the Bracketology Blog on USCHO Princeton is in with a win but St. Lawrence is not a lock if they win. So the other bubble teams like Minnesota and Ohio State would prefer St. Lawrence wins.

Princeton goes up 2-1 at the start of the 2nd with a 5x3 PPG.

RPI commentators full of remarks about the poor atmosphere: "There are definitely enough people here to make this more exciting than it is."

They complemented Cornell's traveling contingent during the first intermission also.

Game going into OT.

If you're St. Lawrence do you pull the goalie and play for the win? And when?

No reason not to, if they're sure a tie counts them out.

That seems to be the opinion on USCHO.

RPI announcers using the time out to speculate on the future of the Times-Union Center name if the Times-Union folds...

BU leads Lowell 1-0 after 1.

Air Force up 1-0 over Mercyhurst.

Michigan 1 v. ND, 5 minutes left in the 1st.

Rita · March 21, 2009, 08:45:02 PM

Minn-Duluth 1 v. Denver 0, at the end of the 1st.

(MacGregor Sharp, for UMD, is indeed one sharp looking hockey player and would get me to go to the FF Skills Challenge. He was interviewed in between periods and well, caught my eye **]).
