We seem to have all the momentum in the 3rd...shots have got to be majorly in favor of CU, but we just can't put it in the back of the net!! LGR!!!

GOAL! EMPTY NETTER!!!! 3-1!!

Union scores on themselves.

That ENG sounded hilarious....Of course, I couldn't really see it, but Adam mentioned that the Union guy backhanded it into his own net...Matt McRae gets credit for the goal. And it's 3-1, Final.

Murray is on the ice, in uniform, skating, for senior night...he skated out well, and looks to be ok.

So I was reading through the USCHO posts, and there was a reference to a Union goal in the 3rd being waved off. Now, I was at the game, and I honestly don't remember that. Did I momentarily black out while at the game or did the "no goal" just really not happen?

Really didn't happen unless I blacked out at the same moment. ::screwy::

thank you guys for helping us out...Dartmouth now controls its own destiny for fourth place if they can get two road W's next weekend.

You're only welcome contingent on what happens in a possible SF meeting. ;-)

Union came out flying and moving their feet in 1st period. We didn't ! saw several Union forwards swing outside and by our d'man in the first... David made at least 2 very good saves that I remember. Union goal late in period was a long throw in behind our net and Bell and David L. and Mark M. miscommunicated and all three wound up behind the goal line trying to play the puck? a union player came out with it and managed to stuff it in the empty side as Lenevue tried to slide across...

Cornell picked up our normal strong effort in 2nd and 3rd periods. but Union playing a very disciplined trap and a lot of stong hooking and holding type of defense with a lot of icing and a strong game from Roth in nets almost held us out. Our first goal was an excellent effort by Bell and Palahicky and D. Pegoraro deserved it for his hard work... He and Hornby were hustling all night. Our second was an excellent tip by Mike K. on strong low shot from Cook... set up by S. Hynes using the point man (good thinking) against Union swarming down low.
Union pulled the goalie with just over 2 minutes left and a face off to Lenevue's left. We cleared the zone twice and on one had a nice shot at the empty net but one of the Union defense mad a good save skating into the middle of the crease. Then about 25 seconds later when the Union defender was trying to pass backhand cross rink - Matt McRae on the fore check seemed to tap his stick just enough that it rolled of at a bad angle and slowly went from top of circle into the empty net - The end.

Thank you Big Red for a wonderful undefeated home season this year! and THANK YOU seniors!
