2011 NCAA Hockey Tournament

[riffjim4069]

I thought it was over 10

Heartbreaking loss for Omaha

It felt like an eternity. Good game, but it was a good goal and the refs did the right thing by having, what seemed, like everyone review the play. Still, it does not make-up for the call against the Wolverines last year.

Regardless, after seeing AF tied-up with Yale with 6-minutes left to play...perhaps there is hope for Colorado College.

I just saw the final of the Yale vs. AF and noticed Yale finally won in OT, 2-1. Yikes! I just tuned-into the BC vs. CC to find CC up 4-1 starting the 2nd period. I can only assume everyone is busy watching the action.

Fact - Why College Hockey is so much better than goofy College Basketball:

Largest Crowd to watch an NCAA Basketball game: 72,922 Ford Field, Detroit 2009
Largest Crowd to watch an NCAA Hockey game: 113,411 Michigan Stadium, Ann Arbor 2010

 

[Mr Tony]

Yeah CC is taking BC to the woodshed

4-1 in 2nd

The Yale/AF game was VERY good....alot better than I thought.

Fact - Why College Hockey is so much better than goofy College Basketball:

a "16" seed (Air Force) takes the #1 seed (Yale) to OT
in CBB the 16 seed has a snowballs chance in hell of winning

 

[Mr Tony]

CC 5-2 in 2nd still

 

[Mr Tony]

6-2 now

I can only assume everyone is busy watching the action.

do you really think I'd go away from the TV during the UMD game to post scores?

 

[Mr Tony]

7-2 CC

BC is getting whipped...must have been the plane ride (since they usually are in the East or NE bracket)

 

[BillD1984]

Wow.... Colorado College came to play tonight!!

No fourth straight National Championship for Boston....congrats CC, you deserved it!!

I'll be turning my attention to Merrimack- my darkhorse in this tournament.

 

[BillD1984]

My picks for Saturday:

Regional Finals (two upsets):
UMD over Yale
Colorado College over Michigan

Regional Semifinals:
North Dakota over Rensselaer
Western Michigan over Denver
Miami over UNH
Merrimack over Notre Dame

Just watched a lot of hockey, that Michigan game was great, but they have to start playing before the 20 minute mark. The OT goal was something alright. I kept asking why they didn't have the in net camera angle the NHL teams do, as they were in St Louis. maybe they used a different goal without the camera, I think that angle would have shown it clearly in under the skates.

BU totally laid down, I just hope Colorado got their scoring out of their system, seven goals, wow.

Props to Altitude for airing the game.

Tomorrow overflow games are on MASN

I agree! Michigan needs to skate hard from the opening faceoff and not after getting ripped by Red for going down 2-goals. I don't have altitude where we're at...and it totally sucked watching the game on ESPN3.com. However, I noticed the game was rebroadcast on MASN-HD immediately following the game, so I watched it again.

I just got home from running erands and it is nice to see the UND vs RPI game on MASN-HD.

 

[Mr Tony]

I'm happy they got rid of that gaudy bright bold red ESPN3.COM in the bottom of the screen. That was up on the actual backhaul feed.
