That was enough to waken the temporarily hibernating Bruins. Less than a minute after a Cornell interference penalty, Brown's power play clicked for the only man-advantage goal of the contest. Bob McIntosh did the honors, intercepting a weak clearing pass and cranking a snapshot high into the right side past netminder David Chrastina...
Some of the near misses were almost equally frightening. One captain on an intercontinental flight to Darwin, Australia, reported that after 14 hours of duty and 25 hours without sleep, "both my first officers fell asleep more than once ... and, in fact, I had to waken one of them to give him the approach briefing."
