The Maine/UMD game was actually a pretty good game. Sloppy, but entertaining. I would say UMD seemed to be a little better, and Ouellette probably stole a win, but Maine had a fair number of good chances as well.
The waved off empty net chance was likely the right call from what the video board was showing for replays. Seemed to hit the right post, then came back and hit the left post right at ice level. Crowd didn't like it, and it didn't affect the outcome of the game, but I thought it was the correct call.
Pretty good number of Maine fans, possibly even outnumbering Cornell.
Overall, 2 pretty exciting games to open the tournament. Hopefully tomorrow will be as well, although I'm not sure if I'll go back down or not.
