Matt Cairns will be making the trip to Pittsburgh with M-D.

M-D now haw won, I believe, 9 consecutive OT games in the NCAA tournament. Unfathomable.

Cairns was a grad transfer

Thanks. In ~ 60 games in Red he had 6 points (3G, 3A) and this year in maroon he has 6 assists in 27 games. I don't think it means much except that they are more willing to play him in Duluth than Mike was in Ithaca.

I heard his name quite a bit during the overtimes, always in the context of making a strong defensive play and starting up a rush with a pass.  I'm not sure he crossed the red line once.

For context, here's how Cornell's seasons change if they win their last 9 NCAA ot games.

Well, 7, as that is all they have ever played:

1969 (W-Michigan Tech) NCAA SF.  No change.
1973 (L-Wisconsin) NCAA SF.  Advance to NCAA F.
1991 (W-Michigan) NCAA QF Game 1.  No change.
2003 (W-BC) NCAA QF.  No change.
2005 (L-Minnesota) NCAA QF. Advance to Frozen Four.
2006 (L-Wisconsin) NCAA QF. Advance to Frozen Four.
2012 (W-Michigan) NCAA 1R. No change.

In conclusion, my findings show a strong correlation between winning in overtime and advancing in the NCAA tournament.

My next paper will explore the regression coefficients of winning percentage against goal margin.  Within a game.
