Sure can John...certainly didn't mean to trick you  :-P

Flurry of action in front of the net...getting a little chippy with after whistle pushing...Minnesota on the powerplay after a holding call against Maine

[johnmacris]

thanks

[atb9]

Minnesota just out worked Maine big time and got the penalty when Maine pulled down a Minnesota player...I knew Minnesota was supposed to be small and quick but they are currently out hustling and out muscling Maine.

[atb9]

Minnesota is really struggling to set up their powerplay...making it easy for Maine to kill off

14 minutes left in the 2nd

[atb9]

Maine just missed a wide open shot from the slot...point blank right into the glove of Briggs

[atb9]

3 on 1 for Minnesota, the Maine defender completely took away the pass and it was the Minn attacker against Howard.  Howard made a flashy glove save on the quick wrister...very nice sequence

Ugh...  that call just gave me a flashback to John Grahame in '96.  What a hoover.

[atb9]

Minnesota fans are pissed because they thought they earned a penalty...instead, Maine player loses his edge and Maine gets the PP.  Tough call.

The Minnesota crowd sounds enormous judging by the webcast. Do they also sound that overpowering on the telecast? The traveling faithful are going to have to cheer extra hard if we make it to tomorrow's game and Minn. survives Maine...

Adam, you should be a play-by-play announcer.  Nice job and really enjoying it.  BTW, is anyone following the Harvard/UNH game?


LET'S GO RED!!!

Yeah, they sound really loud.  9,000 Minnesota fans out of 10,000 seats...oy...it's the first regional semifinal that hasn't looked empty so I understand why they play at the Mooch

Ha!  I guess hiding behind a microphone is kind of like hiding behind a computer  :-)

It hasn't started yet because the Denver/Bemidji game went to OT

[nyc94]

I think UNH-Harvard just started.
Edit: About 4:00 in.

jeez..Maine missed an open netter on the PP
