LGR. Fantastic effort. We got the bounces but we also outplayed them on the whole.

I didn't know that was an option--what would happen instead?  Regular power play?

Anyone else think the announcers didn't know how to pronounce Psenicka so they didn't try?

Correct. This is one of the quirks of the NCAA rulebook.

Given the way the PP looked I'd rather take the penalty and try to end the game at 3-0

Definitely take the penalty shot there. DeSantis is one of the most skilled players on the team.

It wasn't unreasonable to go for it given DeSantis's skills in that spot. I just thought that Chrona would be tough to beat and it was getting to be time to use the clock to our advantage. Thankfully this is a hypothetical discussion. Let's go Red!!!!!!

Judging by their call of the game, I don't think they spent the bulk of their prep time researching *us*. I'm not saying they were Denver homers, but they were clearly surprised at the result. Even after 1.

During Shane's interview they said it was the seventh game in a row with 1 goal or fewer scored against Cornell- first in PROGRAM a HISTORY.

That really surprised me.

Yeah, I thought they should have taken the minor, because even if you don't score on the PP, you've taken two more minutes off the clock.
