Bedlam At Baker Rink! Robbins Rocks The House With OT Winner
November 10, 2023 | Men's Ice Hockey
Adam Robbins electrified Hobey Baker Rink with one of the finest goals in the 101-year history of the fabled barn, stunning Yale with a nifty dangle and score with 5.4 seconds left to secure Princeton's first win of the 2023-24 season.
With time winding down, Robbins wound up in the neutral zone and navigated through all three Bulldogs before pulling to his backhand and flipping home his second career overtime game-inner to set off a raucous celebration.
David Jacobs had a goal and two assists, including a helper while falling to the ice deep in his own end to spring Robbins on the game-winner. Brendan Gorman had two assists.
Arthur Smith made 24 saves for his first collegiate win.
Kai Daniells struck first for the Tigers, potting his first home goal 2:48 into the game off an assist from David Jacobs. It was a strong forecheck from Jacobs which caused a Yale turnover and sprung him to goal. His original offering bounced around and found Daniells at the far post for a quick shot and score.
Princeton would respond with an early PPG in the second period, with Jacobs the one to connect on a one-timer this time just 2:04 into the second frame with assists from Ian Murphy and Brendan Gorman.
The Tigers pushed in the final minutes of regulation with four shots in the final 1:22, but were unable to find the winner before regulation expired.
In overtime, the Tigers through they had secured the win halfway through when a Brendan Gorman backhander hit the crossbar and then bounced off the goaline and out. The call on the ice was originally a goal, and the Tigers celebrated as such. However, a quick video review was enough to overturn the call and restart play.
The next shot was the winning one, as Robbins scooped up a Jacobs pass and navigated through the opposition towards the highlight reel and Hobey Baker history.
Princeton returns to action on Saturday night, taking on Brown at 7 p.m.

Nick Carabin one-timed home a power-play goal 8:01 into the first period to stake the Tigers to a 2-0 lead. A clean faceoff win led to a quick goal, Princeton needing just 0:08 of the man advantage before Nick Seitz fed from behind the end line to a wide open Carabin for the score.Lighting The Home Lamp!
