At the end of the second period it’s Northeastern 2 Cornell 1. It’s a good thing I stopped for food before re game, or I would have missed an amazing finish to the UNH – ND game, which was tied with .3 seconds left in regulation, and won in OT less than a minute into the period. What a game.

The crowd here is a bit disappointing, but I should have expected that, since all Michigan teams are out of the tournament.

There isn’t much time between periods, due to the lack of promotions and stupid audience stunts. The bands are playing throughout, trading riffs back and forth. I haven’t seen this since I attended the Beanpot in 2005.
