Outstanding centering pass picks out a Maine player right outside of the crease but he couldn't hack the puck into the net

Maine is getting down on one knee quite a bit and blocking a ton of shots while Minnesota is not capitalizing by trying some fakes

Maine gets called for hooking in neutral ice...good call but really, really stupid...Maine didn't really drag him down with the hook, the Minn player felt the hook and went down...good call

Minnesota returns the favor with an equally stupid neutral ice penalty...Maine on the PP with 11:09 left in the 3rd

Minnesota is playing keep away down a man and has killed over a minute of the power play...the fans are going nuts

atb9 · March 26, 2005, 04:36:33 PM

killed...Maine didn't get a single shot and the passes were garbage...embarrassing

Minnesota is playing with one forechecker...looks like they're afraid of losing

just saw the Cornell fans as the broadcast went to commercial!

Minnesota just blew by Maine and had a great chance, then Potulny was wide open in the slot and Maine took him down from behind before he could get the shot off...PP for Minnesota

Huge save from Howard...one timer from the slot is saved by the shoulder

and Maine gets a decent shorty chance shortly afterwards

I love how Minnesota carries the puck into the zone...Chucko was open on the weak side but his backhand was weak...penalty killed...phew

FYI

Ya know, the Minnesota radio guys are somewhat homer, but they're quite gracious towards the other team. Not bad.

3:11 left in the 3rd...Maine just pulled a guy down around their net and Minn had a solid delayed penalty but couldn't get the puck to the net, Minnesota on the PP

Forum is all of a sudden really slow as people show up for the Cornell game...

Howard just saved the game...2 on 1 pass across the crease and Howard slides across with the pass and makes a gorgeous glove save

JIMMY HOWARD IS SO HOLY. THAT GUY IS A MACHINE. TRULY THE BEST
