It's been a great game so far. Everyone is excited for the third period. Both teams have had great looks. We will have to see which goalie breaks first.
Total Shots:
Siegel makes less than half the pucks in competition. It appears that his family isn't too upset by the performance.
Shot from Jubinville saved by Richards. Period ends with Tigers on an odd-man rush, but time runs out before Bartlett can get off a shot. Princeton had more chances in the second period but the score is still 0-0, one of the team's best games of the year.
Shot by Bartlett knocked away by Richards. The line of Bartlett, Jubinville, and Richards is looking much better in the second period.
Princeton having a disorganized power play, struggling to link passes in the offensive zone.
Kalemba makes back-to-back glove saves to stymie to great Yale opportunities. At this point, every time the puck is in front of the net, there is a small scrum. Surprisingly, no penalties have been called thus far in the period.
Shot from Sabky off the right shoulder of Richards. Kramer's shot gloved easily by Richards. The pace of the game is picking up, play is competitive and evenly matched at this point. There is a playoff-type atmosphere. Very exciting.

Great stick work from MacIntyre, shot is wide left. Shot from Hagel deflected into the press area but nobody hurt. Game is becoming a little more chippy

Score is 0-0 after one. Back and forth play with Yale holding a slight edge in dictating the tempo of the game. The pee-wee players are on the ice for the intermission. Get excited...
Shot by Pederson, pad save by Richards. Great pass from Fedun to Wilson, who just misses the deflection. Teams back at even strength. Wilson passed up what seemed like a good shot.
Shot by O'Neill is right at Kalemba. Pass intercepted by Kearny, passes to Little who takes puck in and forces Kalemba to make a great save. Yale's line of Kearny, Limbert, and Little is giving the Tigers problems.
Magnowski tries to deflect a shot but is stopped by Richards. Slap shot from Pallis misses wide to the left. Princeton struggles to create any great opportunities in power play. Now back at even strength. Limbert's stick almost goes flying into the stands, some seven-year old is lucky to be alive.
