CC beat minnesota duluth tonight.  I thought karen would do her usual
excellent job tonight, so i didn't take notes
CC  1 3 2  6
UMD 2 1 0  3
 
Duluth took the lead on what appeared to be a CC defensive lapse (I
was at the far end down low) to take the lead, but jason
christopherson (i think) got the equalizer less than a minute later.
Things didn't go CC's way late in the period as duluth took the lead
with under a minute left and CC got a penalty a bit later.
 
CC came out in the second, and steward bodker took the puck behind
the duluth net and centered to chad remakel who banged it home for the
short handed tally to even the score.  Duluth was able to to
capitolize on the carry over penalty to retake the lead on a power
play goal shortly thereafter.  The remaining CC goals were both blue
collar goals.
 
in the third, it was gerronazzo opening the lead to 2, and jay mcneil
got the final tally.
 
the crowd was scared when the duluth netminder took a shot in the mask
that knocked his mask off and he appeard to be unconscious on the ice
for a few minutes.
 
todd gow (who had the break off to referee at a bantam tourney in
denver) did his usual competent job on the lines.  The wearers of the
red stripes were thomas and bocce.  As distressed as i might have been
with bocce's officiating last week at the denver cup, in retrospect it
appears as if he had good (for him) games up there.  Thomas was
unremarkable, yet by far the better of the two this evening.
 
Finally, i also taped the denver game and watched the controversial
goal call in single step, and i think i might have seen the puck
bounce behind the line, but i'm not certain.  This was from out front,
and I could see the line between mullin's skates, and thought the puck
hit behind it.  From the camera in the corner, i just couldn't tell,
although the full speed replay made it look like the puck was not in.
