Perhaps Brown's skating advantage caused them to become more tired? I
dunno. I doesn't seem inconsistent to me. The Brush goal was one
incident at the end of a long, long game. One incident never proves or
disproves anything.

I agree with all of this, plus: Parsons's off night; tight, controlling
defense (especially in game 1); slightly better scoring opportunities (in
a 1-goal game, the smallest differences matter).

What denial? If any Brown fan here said that Princeton didn't deserve to
win, I must have missed it. What are you getting upset about? Relax,
it's just a mailing list. We can have differences of opinion without
getting
angry, can't we?
