Bad for him.  Good for Maine.  Good for us.  Good for you.  That's the start of the 4,000th thread here on elynah.  Here's to another 1,000 elyanh threads ::rock::

Interesting camera angle gives you almost a birds eye view of the action (60 degree angle?).

Definitely home crowd advantage...yikes.

Howard just stoned a Minnesota player after he skated right in on goal untouched

Nice. ::popcorn:: I've been in as much hockey heaven as I can be in this weekend without being in Minneapolis.

Ref is Feola from the ECAC (he did the championship game, instead of Kotyra, to my surprise)...first PP for Maine

According to USCHO boards there were matching minors at :21 of first.  I don't have any TV or radio access to confirm.

yeah...about that...oops  :-D

Good chances on the powerplay for Maine but the Gophers are able to kill it off.  Briggs is going to need to hold on to those rebounds if Minn wants to win this game....

just went to intermission.

Shots are 11-11 (gametracker http://www.ncaasports.com/icehockey/mens/gamecenter/live/NCAAH_20050326_ME@MN says it's 13-10 Maine), and Minnesota is winning the faceoffs almost 2:1 (13-7).

Game on!

Very deceptive title, I thought the score was maine 4, minn 1. can that be changed?
