Watching on ESPN from home tonight...
watching on PPV is just so different from being there in person... it is like an out-of-body experience... you're watching, but you're not really connected.
Brown takes a 3-0 lead early in the first period with a Short-Handed Goal, an Even-Strength Goal, and a Power-Play Goal. Bobby Metz deflected a Robby Newton shot late. Also, from Tyson Doucette.

This week, Brown coach Brendan Whittet announced that he was stepping down on February 20 due to cancer striking within his family. Tonight, the Brown coaches all were wearing pink ribbons in support of cancer research and coach Whittet. I just saw a shot of Colgate coach Mike Harder and there was a pink ribbon on his lapel, too. Pretty kewl. Pretty classy.
Colgate hasn't given up. Simon LaBelle with Colgate's second goal, from Ryan Sullivan and Max Nagel.
Colgate 3, Brown 2, penalties after two.

According to the Brown announcer, Whittet's Brown Bears are 103-14 when leading after two. Yikes!
Colgate 3, Brown 3, score after regulation.
No matter what happens, we put ourselves in this position by going down 3-0 after just 5 SOG against us in the first period.
3-3 tie for the NCAA and me. I don't have a huge problem with this final score. Neither team deserved to win it.
Princeton 3, Clarkson 1. Cornell 5, Yale 2. Quinnipiac 7, Saint Lawrence 0. Harvard 3, RPI 1. Dartmouth 4, Union 2. Predictable ECAC Hockey.
