Colagte already down 3-0 after two periods in the consolation

[oceanst41]

Brown forgot to play a 60 minute game and 'Gate managed the tie

[cbuckser]

In Columbus, OH, Miami of Ohio beat RPI 3-2 on a goal with with 11 seconds left in overtime.
At the GLI, Michigan State beat Michigan Tech 3-2 at 13:59 of overtime.

Minnesota leads Union 2-0 at the end of the first period (Two early PP goals)...the quote that summarizes the first period, "The zamboni won't need to cross the red line at intermission" -Doug Woog

[ajec1]

5-0 Minnesota after two (One more PP and two even strength goals)...Caffaro gone with a game misconduct for trying to instigate fights (and a charging the goaltender major penalty earlier in the period).

[ajec1]

Finished 8-0 Gophers...kind of wonder what the score would have if Minnesota had Wheeler and Kessel. Union plays Cansius tomorrow in the consolation.

Big win for sucks, and it's nice to see Union back to form - good thing they decided to show up in Ithaca
But seriously sometimes we complain about lopsided officiating 2 PP's for Union comapred to 11 for the Goophers (5 of which they scored on)  ::nut::

Honestly, it could have/should have been a lot more lopsided (Union was doing obvious, stupid things late in the game that the refs, try as they might, could not ignore). Quite frankly, Union played really poorly and did not adjust to the way the refs were calling the game (CCHA refs strike again?), of course they also took out their frustrations in stupid penalties (see earlier comment on Caffaro). The idea that penalties should be "balanced" is ridiculous, especially in a game such as this (this idea was talked about recently by the NHL director of officiating as well).

Harvard beat NoDak!

Except the Union loss to Minnesota might suck for us, common opponentwise.

There's still hope. Minnesota has a pair of home games coming up with (CHA) power Niagara. It'll take a NIagara win to have a chance at wrestle back the COP w/Minnesota.  ::help::

But the idea that a tourny could have some balance with regard to the four teams is legitimate.  It's too bad that Minnestota's 3 visitors are all having such poor years.
