Six inches, and everything could have been different. Or maybe it
was five ... or even four. Six inches between goal and no-goal. Six
inches between a puck plinking off a crossbar and that same puck
slapping the back of the net. Six inches between a save on the other
end ... and the game's lone goal.
Six inches between a national championship ... and a dressing room
full of weeping Maine Black Bear hockey players.
How far is six inches?
It's the length of about half of Mike Hamilton's left skate - the
skate that crept into the crease during the first period of Saturday
night's NCAA title matchup between Maine and Denver.
