OK, this is great freakin' hockey. 5 goals in under four minutes scored in the opening minutes of the third period of the US vs. Switzerland juniors tournament. (Hold that: 6 goals. Wait, 7 in 4:15. What was a 2-0 game is now a 5-4 game.) Continued cable coverage of this tourney will provide a good couple of weeks' respite.
As Naum now knows, I also subscribed to Time Warner's Sports Package, which includes Fox College Sports Atlantic, Pacific, and Central, as well as College Sports TV. I've never known so much about the WCHA in my life before.
Lastly, I'll be in Boston for both the last game at Walter Brown Arena for the BU Terriers, and the first game at Agganis Arena. (I will likely be driving back to NY for the evening in between, as Naum [CAS '99, now of 10th Avenue] has to work Monday at 6 AM. Anyone with a couch / spare room where I can crash, I'm taking all options at this point, and am OK with having my buddy drive the extra 700 miles.) I cannot overstate how big a deal this is for me, and just how much this whole endeavor will cost in terms of money, sleep, and sanity. Of course, if there's anything being a BU alum has taught me, it's how to deal without any of those things.
Check that, 6-4, for real, after the initial goal to make it 6-4 was ruled a bounce off the low post.

We've got a couch and futon for crashing purposes. Let me know.
