Second Intermission

It is worth noting that most college hockey analysts predict that Princeton can secure an NCAA bid even with a tie - yes, you can tie the consolation game. That means that the Tigers are twenty minutes away from prolonging their season, as long as they are not outscored by two goals this period.

The second intermission's entertainment? A sled race between a pair of Princeton students (both named Nick) against a pair of students from St. Lawrence (both named Zack - you can't make this stuff up folks). In a slugfest not unlike today's game, the Nicks went up early, the Zacks battled back, but in the end, the Nicks were simply too strong. Hopefully this race will prove a accurate omen as we head to the third.

Side Note: Has Matt Christopher ever written about intermission sled racing? If not, I suggest something like, "The Boy With the Grippy Feet."
