RPI vs ?, several years back, late season game or maybe playoffs.  This was
during the years Mike Addesa was coach.  RPI was down one goal and two
players with less than two to play, so didn't have anything to lose
anyway.  Mike calls the ref over, points to an opposing player, out comes
the gauge and sure enough, illegal stick.  RPI is now one player down,
pulls the goaltender and scores.  They went on to win in OT.

This would have been in the 1987-88 or 1988-89 seasons if memory
serves.  Anybody else remember this one?
