RPI's Coach Smith is one hell of a promoter.

Northern's Griffin Loughran tried to check the ref tonight?

Whoa.  I was expecting an accidental collision.  That really, really looks intentional, but I've never seen a guy just lose his mind like that.

Loughran is Northern's best player with 40 points, so it's not like he's a goon.

As someone pointed out in the comments, he's probably just sealing off the boards and doesn't see the ref.  Looks worse (and funnier) than it is.

UNH over BC in OT, 4-3.

That should help put some distance between us and BC.

Excellent.

Mankato and NoDak both winning.  Mankato final shots were 53-14.

UMD winning big, I wonder if they will overtake BC.  Their seniors must be up around 180 GP.  (Edit: only 4 seniors, highest is 155 GP).

Princeton wins it in OT, on the PP!

[Trotsky]

UMD, repeat defending NCAA champions and back-to-back-to-back finalists, are now #4 PWR and in line for a 1-seed.

Cornell is now the only eastern school in the top 5.

1. NoDak
2. Mankato
3. Cornell
4. Minn-Duluth

5. Denver
6. BC
7. Pedo State
8. UMass

As of 10:30, UMD moves up to 4th, Denver to 5th, BC to 6th.

If it ended that way next weekend Duluth would seem destined for Loveland.

Actually - he might not just be a goon - but he is a goon. Also leads them in PIM, and is an all-around knucklehead. He speared a guy Saturday night, and got away with only 2 minutes.  They lost. Season over.  Went completely down the toilet after leaving Lynah.  As did Michigan State in the 2nd half.  Two series of events that really didn't help Cornell at all.  If those teams stayed where they were at midseason, Cornell would be No. 2 in the Pairwise.

Illinois seems have been poised to announce that they were going DI in ice hockey, with money for a new arena lined up, but the pandemic and economic uncertainty is at least postponing the formal announcement.
