Quick early morning post from our hotel in Newark, DE after the Icers handed the Delaware Blue Hens a 1-0 defeat in front of a packed house at the Rust Arena.
The Icers played a disciplined game, Ted Hume stood on his head to notch his second shutout of the season, and Rich O'Brien's 2nd goal of the season (assists by Ryan Paradis and Paul Daley) at 6:06 of the second period stood as the game-winner as the Icers ran their ACHA winning streak to 19 games (24-2-1 overall).
With the win, the #2 Icers erased Delaware's chance of capturing the ESCHL regular season title and likely hurt the chances of the 14th ranked Blue Hens making it to the national tournament.
Thanks to all of the fans who hung in through the webcast, despite the game starting about a half-hour after the scheduled 9pm start and despite the buffering and wifi dropoffs throughout the night.
To add to the technical woes, I videotaped the post game interviews with the three stars, but the card reader on my laptop doesn't read the SDHC card from the camera!
Oh well, here's the audio portion of the interviews with Coach Balboni, Rich, Ted and Taylor Cera.
