It’s happy days for hockey in Boston with a big win to send the Pride on to the playoffs as the third seed.
Connecticut Culled
While there were rumblings about something going on early in the evening the full story broke just before puck drop that the Connecticut Whale had decided to forfeit their game against Minnesota and withdraw from the tournament. This made the Pride/Beauts game a 3rd/4th game instead of an elimination game. Pride head coach Paul Mara said he was informed at 7:55PM, 35 minutes before puck drop, but declined to inform his team who did not know this was the case until they left the ice victorious.
