Harvard on the PP... Nickerson in the box.

Vanek scores after a careless giveaway in the defensive zone (the North Dakota player tried an ill-advised cross ice pass in front of the goal)

The HE (1-1 in OT), ECAC (2-2, early 3rd), and WCHA (3-3, early 3rd) title games are all tied...very exciting....

Now Clarkson on PP

Avash · March 20, 2004, 10:14:43 PM

....killed off. (EDIT: I thought the previous post was about the previous penalty, which was killed off by Harvard. Harvard is in fact currently on the power play...)

Minnesota scores, leads 4-3 with 14 minutes to go in the 3rd period.

I love this. They're literally trading power plays.

This HE game is about as exciting as a 1-1 tie can be. Shots are 50-41 in favor of Massachusetts. Howard has been nothing short of stunning, and if he happens to break the record, at least he is very deserving.

Bochenski and UND tie Minnesota 4-4, halfway through the 3rd. If all 3 of these games are in OT at the same time, I don't know how I'll be able to handle it..... ::nut::

Harvard scores :37 left in 3rd

dss28 · March 20, 2004, 10:27:07 PM

Clarkson pulls Traylen...

Avash · March 20, 2004, 10:27:23 PM

ENG for the Crimson. They're going to win it.

dss28 · March 20, 2004, 10:27:24 PM

...and Harvard gets the empty net.

Avash · March 20, 2004, 10:32:08 PM

Well a year ago, an icing with just over 30 seconds to go doomed Harvard. This year, an icing with just over 30 seconds ago doomed Clarkson, as Harvard scored right off the faceoff.

I thought I'd feel sick seeing them win, even though I was rooting for them. But it's not that bad :-). Let's get 'em next year.

Talk about a see-saw game. The Gophers take a 5-4 lead with 5 mins to go now in the 3rd.

Maine and UMass are tied at 1 at the end of the 1st OT. The goalies have been amazing.

Oh my....I've never seen anything like this:

There was a penalty on Minnesota with about 4 and a half in the 3rd. They pulled the goalie for a 6 on 4 advantage. The Gophers BARELY missed getting an ENG a couple times, and then, with play STILL going on, Minnesota puts the goalie back in. The kicker? They changed goalies. A goalie change on the fly amidst a power play! Unbelievable

2 minutes to go.

Minnesota wins 5-4.

The only game remaining is Maine/Mass, as the 2nd OT is about to start. HUGE NCAA implications with this one as well.

Do you realize that, during the course of the season, Minnesota went from #1 in the country to unranked and now to WCHA champion and will be a #1 seed in the NCAA tournament? Impressive.
