Actually all the games EXCEPT the champ game were in at least one OT,
several mutliple OT, I think.  And the RPI-Prov score was 2-1 with RPI
badly outshooting Prov but Prov hung in there til the last on the strenght
of superb goaltending by Chris Terreri.
 
Saw it on ESPN, certainly not in person :-)
 
In those days, they did all three games Th, then Sat.  Too bad they still
don't
