8 minutes to go, still 2-0 Miami. The winner will play the winner of the Cornell-Bemidji game.

Kate and I just did an experiment where we stretched a napkin over two sticks (simulating the crossbar and rear bar) and then by just passing my hand quickly, but closely over the setup the napkin bulges outward.

That's how airplanes fly.

OK, not really, it was just a breeze. But if you passed hands quickly both over and under the napkin and the napkin was curved, it would levitate.

Concerning the UVM final goal, I just checked the Zapruder film with Kevin Costner and there is no way there was a single shooter for this goal.::banana::

Duluth scored with an extra attacker. Miami up, 2-1, 2 minutes to go.

UMD just scored an EA goal. > 2 min to go.

Miami wins

[quote TimV]What? Since we don't like the WCHA either (right, Al?), were we hoping for a CCHA-ECAC-CHA final four???::wtf::[/quote]
Got my wish, Tim. Last year there were no WCHA teams in the championship game. This year there are none in the frozen four. I like the trend.

That's the weirdest foreplay ever.

Just saw the replay on SportsCenter. Sorry, I thought it was in. Not 100% sure, but pretty sure.

Its possible for wind to cause that effect, but not likely, based on how small the puck in. The scale of the puck doesn't match the scale of Jon's hand in his experiment... that'd be more like the goalie flying over the net at puck speed.

I'm still confused about where Yale was yesterday::screwy::

However, my hand (this is Jon) is moving approximately 20.5 MPH, while the puck was moving 4-5 times faster.

Soberer corrollary from Age: his hand isn't 5x bigger than a puck

Whether or not they eventually made the right call on the goal it seems wrong to do so after the game has resumed. Once the game has resumed video review should not be able to overturn calls on the ice. If there's enough uncertainty about the call to review it then they should stop play right than and there.

They called Harvard and asked for advice on post-season play.
