Another good game...that I thought might be a blowout.
.
Northeastern's goalie played an excellent game, with NU's 36 saves to 'Gate's 24.. It was an evenly fought game because NU's goalie prevented it from getting out of reach. This was especially the case in the 3rd period when Colgate smelled blood ( outshooting NU 16-9 ) but couldn't get any additional goals into the back of the net until the empty-netter.
Just finished watching the replay of the game. Very nice camera work and picture quality. Play by play guy did a good job. To quote him, there was some "nifty passing" on the ice. Would have sworn he said a few times that "wild thing" had the puck. I looked up the Raiders' roster for the correct name. I also didn't know that Kendall Coyne has a sister Bailey playing for Northeastern. With about 9 minutes to go in the 1st period the score of the Minnesota/Wisconsin game was displayed as a 3-3 tie in the 1st period and 1-3 Mercyhurst losing to Clarkson, also in the 1st period. Huh, I must have missed those 3 Gopher goals yesterday. They did correct the scores a few minutes later.
Odd question perhaps. I noticed that when both Northeastern and Colgate scored goals the loud sirens went on and the lights flashed off and on similar to in St Cloud when the Huskies score. Do they always do that in the Colgate arena for both teams or is it just because it's a playoff game?

I think the "loud sirens went on and the lights flashed off" for the opponents may have been a special concession for the NCAA game ( required by the NCAA ? ). I don't think this is Colgate's normal practice. Although, admittedly, I don't watch opponents goal celebrations as closely as I watch 'Gate's. I'm too busy yelling at my computer !
Glad you liked the presentation. This is the 2nd full season for the 38 mill. Class of '65 Arena. In fact, I think the vision and tools associated with the creation of new arena was and continues to contribute substantially to Coach Greg Fargo ( & Co. )'s transformation of the program. It should be no surprise that 'Gate carries a 20-1-1 record on home ice this season.

I wrote down a few notes while I was watching the game and one of them was "really nice looking arena," which I forgot to put in my prior post. College hockey stats listed the attendance as 1373 out of a capacity of 2222. With the large number of people standing I would have thought there was a little more than that. Good luck in the game with the Badgers. It should be a barn burner.

Technically the games are neutral site though they are hosted by a school. The opposing team has their band there and skating mascot. None of the regular UW jumbo-tron videos and graphics were used, it's all ncaa garbage. Of course I haven't heard the horn blow for an opposing team's goal because they haven't allowed an ncaa quarter final goal in at least 3? years.
I'm looking forward to seeing UW play against a very uncommon opponent. Looks like Colgate has a statistical advantage on special teams and scoring, while UW has a statistical advantage on the D side.

Two very similar teams. I just think that the Badgers have more depth which will help when you hit period 3 that is if injured players are all back.

All are healthy as far as I know, they were for the rodent game.
