NCAA regionals in Springfield

And it looks like this will be the case tomorrow as well.  The arena flipped our seats to the opposite corner (Section 11)...

Section 11. We were in Section 11 in Lake Placid. Just saying...

[arugula]

Anyone interested in two for tomorrow at face-45.  . Section 13, L 7 and 8.

Watching the recording of the game. Ten minutes in, they're still identifying the Maine goalie as the other guy who was sick.  Amazing.

Anyone know whether there are any clips of Jason's call floating around?

[upprdeck]

yeah that was strange to not know a different goalie was out there.

Dont they have pregame announcements for lineups at these things?

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

They certainly announced him as the goalie at the rink.  Whether the Maine line-up sheet for the media was accurate is another question.

The broadcasters later specifically said the sheet had not been accurate.

Well there you go.  Thanks for the info.

[arugula]

The sheet may have been wrong, but they could've actually paid attention to the ice.

The first thing you are supposed to do on a hockey broadcast is confirm which goalie leads the team out for warmups and then to start the game.  To go into it twelve minutes and not know is a pretty rough look.

how often do they show a goalie's back? i doubt either of those guys called a Maine game this year

The general public does not normally have access to the team lineup charts, but if you do, do not make the mistake of reading anything more into them than the list of players dressing for the game, and even that can be changed up to 15 minutes before the opening faceoff. Don't read anything into the combinations, or the sequence. Do not assume that the top line, or the top defense pair, or the top goalie, are the ones who will be starting.

As Yogi Berra once said, "You can observe a lot just by watching."

When you go live to a game the first thing you do is look for the players you expect to see out there dressed and warming up

Now did he warm up and then not play or did he not warm up ?

That what someone said.

He was on the bench in uniform.  They showed him on TV.
