I'm so happy for the hockey guys. Keep it up - the way they're playing... who knows? How does "National Champs" sound?

[A.G.]

That banner can hang right next to the 2006 BIG SOUTH QUIZ BOWL CHAMPS banner.

(chill-all. Just kidding)

[beigledog]

Tie-breaker...

This commentator said that if LU loses today they are still in if SJSU beats Penn State this afternoon. They'll talk more about it at the 1st intermission.

[PAmedic]

12:05 left in the 2nd. We are committing to many penalties and are now skating 3 on 3, MSU just scored- I believe it is 2-1 LU

[PAmedic]

Less than 6 minutes left, Flames score : lead MSU 3-1

[PAmedic]

Rasty looking for ways MSU can climb back into this one- is hammering LU for stupid penalties and warns we can't play like this against better #1 seeds coming up.

LU now going on the power play- user their heads and not allowing themselves to be goaded into fights.

5 on 4 now and a good chance for LU to start running away w/ it here.

[bigsmooth]

4-1 flames, early in the 3rd period. these announcers are a bunch of michigan state apologists. not giving us any props right now.

[PAmedic]

Rasty is actually pretty smooth on the call. I believe "Dave" is our own "LU Hockey Alumni Director" (on here)

[bigsmooth]

well is rasty the "homer" then???

[PAmedic]

not sure but I like the accent.

At this point MSU could play 5 on 4 for the next 7 min and I don't think we lose either way. They have had NO success on their PP against us today.

Rasty admitting we will play off and try to keep everybody healthy

[A.G.]

Isn't MSU the defending champs?

[PAmedic]

You are correct sir, 2004-05. Runner up was Oakland, who hasn't won a game this time around.

This is NOT the time for game-misconducts. (or stupid penalties for that matter)

[PAmedic]

We are now a man up w/ a little more than 3 min to go- should be wrapping this one up.

Rasty admitting we may win, and making bad jokes. Still no shoutout for the PAmedic. Shocking

[bigsmooth]

5-1 flames! about a minute left.

[PAmedic]

and another penalty on MSU, so we remain a man up for the duration.

We face either IUP or Davenport next- both DEFINTLEY beatable


FINAL: LU 5 MSU 1

[bigsmooth]

another good win. we certainly have a chance since we haven beaten both davenport and IUP.

[PAmedic]

early start for the guys tomorrow as they face the winner of Pool D at 0830 (AM). Currently, Davenport is up 1-0 over IUP- 7 min gone in the 1st.

and let me just tell you, Rasty and Dave blow this commentator outta the water. Horrible.

I have never heard - "SHOTANNAGOLE" before. Sorta like "Boom goes the dynamite" (I think its the same guy)

the second time he said it, it was followed by "WHOOPS, NO he had it covered up"

[Thelaxman]

Good Luck LU Hockey. Bring home the National championship!

All the best,

Thelaxman

[PAmedic]

Davenport now up 2-0 w/ just under 11:30 left in the second.
IUP appears to have nothing for them.

[PAmedic]

Now 3-0 Davenport and doesn't even sound that close. this one is starting get away from IUP.

looks like LU should start game planning for the Panthers. Again.

[PAmedic]

The Oakland/Stoneybrook matchup is gonna be the one to watch here. Whoever wins out in Pool B vs. Pool D will probably have to face them. Both are 2-0 in pool play and face each other at 3:30 this afternoon. That should be a great game.

(Pool "C" is just- well, ugly. it will either be Wagner or CSU)

[bigsmooth]

i think i would rather play davenport since i watched us play IUP. either way, we have an excellent chance of winning.

[PAmedic]

Davenport up 6-1 and all but a lock to play LU tomorrow morning. These 2 teams should be as prepared as possible to face one another.

We are 2-1-1 against them, incl (1) 6-5 win, (1) 6-5 loss, (1) 4-2 win, (1) 4-4 tie.

***

4:37 left in the 3rd- Colorado St takes a 2-1 lead over Wagner. This could really make a mess of Pool C now. I believe either team advances with a win.

[Hold My Own]

Holy Cow we keep winning and winning!
