That's always the most exciting part of the shootout, IMHO. :-) > And since they were treating it like a relative practice at that point, > the pressure of the moment was never a consideration and therefore > Merrimack's experience in it was never a factor. I would think there would still be some pressure. The fact that Merrimack was the visitor, and shot first, took it off on the 6th shooter. > I enjoyed the way Princeton went about it.

The hardware is sitting in Ottawa U.'s Athletic Department, I think. :-) :-) > doesn't resemble what hockey is about. This is true. I wish they had kept going. No one had the ice after the tournament, so why not? If they were going to have a shootout, though, they shouldn't have let the shooters repeat. Seeing the same 5 guys shooting is so dull. I was hoping it would go so far that it would come down to a battle of freshman seldom-used defencemen. :-) See you later, John -- John Edwards Stats Geek, Ottawa Senators Jr. A Hockey Club (17-7-1) Email: [log in to unmask] URL: http://chat.carleton.ca/~jedwards "Ottawa is the capital of Canada?
