        It appeared to me (I was sitting even with the goal that RPI was
defending) that some large chunks of ice were loose around Little's
left goal post.  I think a there was a collision in that vicinity
directly before the chunks started flying, and the goal was jarred
rather severely, so that might have caused it.
        It took them the better part of the intermission to repair the
area using a fire extinguisher to speed the freezing process.
