9:32 PM: Weiss comes in out of nowhere, but couldn't get it past Miller...the Samsonov-Weiss-Bergfors line works SOOOO well

9:18 PM: The shoe does not fit for Air Force. Chad Ziegler scores just over 3 mins into overtime to send Yale to the Icy Eight agains Minnesota Duluth


9:09 PM: If you get HBO 2, Pee-Wee Herman on Broadway will be airing at 10:00...just after the Panthers game. Cannot wait! I like stuff other than sports, too!


9:07 PM: BASEBALL FANS: Giants and Royals getting started on MLB Network. This is just a GREAT sports night!

8:56 PM: Hey! The Panthers are going on the powerplay!


8:55 PM: Its 53-32 Kansas and North Carolina is winning 58-37. ANDDD moving right along...


8:52 PM: Repik got in front of the Buffalo defense, but as usual, he shot the puck over the net.

8:51 PM: According to the Panthers, Booth took a puck off the neck.

8:49 PM: There's arena football on, too! This night just gets better! Spokane leads Iowa 14-12. Is the first time NFL Network's broadcasted anything in Iowa?


8:47 PM: Ryan Carter on a SHORTHANDED breakaway gets tripped up by Jordan Leopold...no call and the net comes off.


8:44 PM: David Booth WILL NOT return tonight.

ALSO: Paul Gaustad hit hard by Stephen Weiss and is headed to the locker room.


8:43 PM: Title 9 requires me to tell you that Clayton State (GA) leads Michigan Tech 22-20 in the NCAA Women's basketball D II championship. If you did not go to those schools and care about the game, its on ESPN2. I won't be updating it again tonight!
8:40 PM: Heat have taken a 51-50 lead into the break.


8:38 PM: Boston Collge and Colorado College starting at 9:28! Oh, do I love hockey!


8:35 PM: Barry Melrose is always a treat on color commentary. Tune into ESPNU to enjoy his very...honest...commentary!

8:32 PM: ITS A GOAL! Nebraska-Omaha is done after a 10 minute review! Wow! I would not have called it a goal, no good view of whether or not it crossed the line. 3-2 Michigan the final.

8:31 PM: Buffalo Scores. 2-1. DREWWWWWWW Stafford (don't ask me why, I love that name). His 27th from Brad Boys and Tyler Ennis at 2:33.

8:28 PM:  2nd period underway in Buffalo 1-1 tie.


8:25 PM:  FUN FACT: Jacques Lameroux (Air Force) has twin sisters on the US National Team.


8:24 PM: They are reviewing a possible goal that could send UNO home. We shall see. It looks like the puck stayed off the line. This is not how you want your season to end.


8:20 PM: One of the Yale hockey coaches is wearing a sweater vest. Way to play into the nerd stereotype!


8:18 PM: UNO had great puck movement and a wide open net to start the OT, but a Michigan player saved it from going in! WOW!

8:14 PM: CONFIRMED! The game IS airing on WQAM tonight. No baseball, just HOCKEY!


8:11 PM:  Welcome to Intermission! Tied at 1 after 1 in Buffalo. Enjoy the break, will talk to you in a few!

8:09 PM: 1 minute left in the 1st period

8:07 PM: David Booth takes a puck to the face. Near the ear. Helped up and being looked at by the trainer. Will keep you posted.

8:05 PM: It is actually 2-2 UNO/Michigan. UNO scored 2 in the 1st and Michigan 2 in the 2nd. They head to a 20:00 OT. I love playoff overtime!

8:03 PM: People are complaining that UM Baseball is on WQAM instead of the Panthers game. I will find out more at intermission, but if it is true, even the Panthers' people are unaware of it. Someone dropped the ball.

8:01 PM: Air Force tied it up! It's 1-1 after 2. Did not see the AFA goal, but if Yale loses, it would be a huge upset. In other scores, Michigan and Nebraska Omaha tied at 3 in OT and Minnesota Duluth takes care of Union 2-0

8:00 PM: Some people are saying the game is not in HD. I have it in HD here!

7:58 PM: Patrick Rissmiller with a hard shot that goes high and wide. Nice attempt.


7:55 PM: Follow @MiamiSportsGen on Twitter for Heat updates.

7:54 PM: After Samsonov's goal its's been all Sabres...pretty uninspired hockey if you ask me! Vokoun's been spot on, though... still 1-1


7:46 PM: The Scoring drought lasted a staggering 2 hours 15 minutes and 25 seconds. (Thanks George Richards for that stat)

7:43 PM: Sergei Samsonov ties it up with a backhander! There goes the shutout streak! 1-1 score, not even 5 mins in! (Time of the goal 4:01 his 13th)

7:42 PM: Halfway home in Bridgeport (where I used to work). 1-0 Yale in the 2nd.

Couch + remote = awesome!

7:38 PM: Underway in Buffalo! GO CATS GO!
