We are looking at a Wednesday April 4th date for the finals. New Hampshire will meet the winner of tonights game between Clarkson and Denver.
--------------
It was just announced that Lake Placid is completely sold out for the final. The only remaining tickets are 500 that are being held for the winner of tonights semi-final.
----------------
Game time tonight in Clarkson is 8:00 Eastern time.
-----------------
A deal has been finalized for TV coverage tonight. NESN will produce and cover the game live. Empire Sports is planning to show the game as well if some last minute details can be worked out. Currently their are no plans for TV coverage in Denver, but now that NESN is doing the producing, a local channel might pick up the feed.
--------------
Last nights semi-final in Omaha set an all-time College Hockey NIT attendence record. Official attendence was announced as 8,315. Don't ask me how they got that extra person in there.
The previous attendence mark had been set at last years final in Colorado Springs. 7,398 people witnessed Lake Superior State's win over RPI.

It's in Dubie's glove. What a save!!!!!!!!!!
Wade "Dubie" Dubielewicz has made two nice saves. Clarkson has had the better of play the last few minutes, but nothing is going in.

Ahhh, thank you. The first time you did it in the first round I thought it meant Late Game Time or something. http://www.uscho.com/board/ubb/smile.gif

C'mon Knights, pick it up. You're making Denver look like they're as good as Vermont.
