At least one person in the crowd (me!) was chanting "drop the puck!" at every
stoppage.  It seemd like the lights were dimming during the stoppages, so I was
jokingly suggesting that they keep play going as quickly as possible.

Do you suppose Crowder may have been a) diagramming an play for the tying

or
c) both of the above?
 
Anyway, an interesting night at Tully...a good win for Lowell - their first
