This goal was as much a product of preparation as it was
determination and a great pass from Kariya ... Jim Montgomery said
after the game that they had noticed a tendancy of LSSU to allow the
puck carrier room to skate in an opponent power play situation ...
Jimmy carried the puck up ice and just over the red line fed Paul on
the left wing ... Paul had just talked on the bench with assistant
Coach Red Gendron about keeping his legs moving along the boards in
order to beat the D wide ... and he did!

Jeff Jackson and LSSU were sooooo close. Maine fans did not have a
particularly fun time during the last several minutes of the second
period :-)

P.S. My favorite sign at the Bradley Center was one that read:
Kariya = Hobey
Jimmy = God
