...plant exploding. While the plant's P.R. man (James Hampton, a veteran of T.V.'s "F-Troop" and "Rockford Files") proudly displays the space-age control room from the bird's eye perspective of the visitor's gallery, the shit indeed hits the fan. The building shakes, buzzers blast, and control panel lights flash like a Christmas tree gone beserk.

Randy Wilson could have clinched the game with a minute left, but he missed an empty net and Cornell's Lance Nethery came back to blast the puck past John Milner to knot the game at 19:47. Defenseman Rob Gemmell supplied what must have seemed the inevitable climax to Providence's nightmare finish when, four minutes into sudden death, he beat Milner before the Friars could manage a shot...
