Was looking for one pane of glass to see all the matchups...thanks! Go Rams!
 
I've seen enough Adrian hockey to know that it isn't over until triple zeros, but Aurora is currently leading 4-1 late in the 2nd period.
 
I've never seen a shorter leash than Kozma got in net for Trine tonight. He gave up a goal on a 2 on 1 breakaway on the second shot he faced tonight and he got pulled immediately. No indication that he was injured on the play. Pretty puzzling.

He was a senior too. I expected him to re-enter the game after a minute or two...
 
Oswego came into the Cooler and played with great intensity for two periods , but in the last period Hobart scored 3 , including an empty net goal for a 4-0 win. Beaver played like Beaver as Hobart takes the SUNYAC hardware.

That sounds like what Norwich used to do to teams game after game, year after year.

Why didn't Beaver go D1?

I suspect he probably only had opportunities at Atlantic Hockey schools or to be number 3 on the depth chart at ECAC or CCHA type schools. Hobart was a better option/opportunity. I think that scenario is pretty common with the top D3 schools.

Doesn't mean he couldn't have been a good goalie at that level (see Shane Soderwall.)

Same reason the Utica's of the world are better off staying D3 (absent any of the financial impact of something like that).
