I'm voting straight ticket ECAC, like always. A rising tide.

Harvard has 2 shots. I've been going back and forth packing for the trip and I didn't see either of them.

Buckeyes have 2 goals. One of them did go off of Harvard though.

I would like to win the ECAC tournament for once, sorry. The rising tide doesn’t seem to be lifting our boat. I should not be engaging in this debate. Please don’t reply to me.

I learned the horrible truth when I was listening to Harvard play the 1989 final against Minnesota right in the heart of their long winning streak against us, and I realize to my horror I was balls out rooting for Harvard out of ECAC solidarity.

The only school I even remotely waiver on is Q because they're conference frauds, but I still pragmatically want to see ECAC teams advance, attract better players, improve SOS, and help Cornell.

4-0 four minutes into the 2nd period. Stop the fight!

CHN appears to say tOSU scored twice in four seconds.

What, exactly, is our plan to catch up to the Ohio State University in recruiting?

3-0 Ohio State over the ECAC team that has once again

sorry 4-0 they scored right off the faceoff as i was about to make another joke about Harvard's great recruits

Maybe see how our game against BU goes before you start breaking out these posts

Any chance Farrell and Coronato sign NHL deals in between the 2nd and 3rd periods?

They might if Donato was fired.

Somewhere in the eldritch dankness of a cyclopean subterranean maze, Bill Cleary reaches a boney finger towards a button...

And there's the extra point.

It took the ESPN announcers nearly the entire second period to notice that Harvard's backup sieve was in goal.

Is he? They just showed a graphic saying the goalie who's i there has given up 7 goals today.

Harvard's only saving grace is getting to avoid being on the losing end of the largest shutout in NCAA tournament history.

Seems impossible.

So have they totally abandoned the West/Midwest/East/Northeast Regional names? Naming the regionals after the cities they're held in seems so basketball.

Dafatone
They appear to have changed it to six seconds. Which is still ridiculous but slightly more feasible. We scored 4 in what, 54?

Quinnipiac is well on its way to beating Merrimack, leading 3-0 with under eight minutes remaining. Even worse, they’ve looked dominant every time I’ve looked up to watch. Really have to hope Ohio State can take them out next round.

What was horrible was just listening to the ESPN announcers talking about an "all Big Ten" Frozen Four. These guys don't even have a clue about anything but their big conference bias.

To be fair the Big 10 has been lights out so far. We’ll see if Colgate can slow down that train.

“One-and-Done University” rises once again.

How can I be this high on schadenfreude for an entity with no fans?

Is it just me, or has Buccigross been less annoying this year?

If I'm watching this game from Alaska I'm steaming mad. (When I posted 5 minutes ago it was 3-0 Michigan. It is now 5-0. That is 5 minutes of linear time not game time.)

We dodged a bullet getting Denver instead of Michigan

I'm surprised by the # of blowouts. good thing goal differential doesn't matter. except for our game all the others were 4+ (St. Cloud had a 3 goal lead before Minnesota State pulled the goalie).

total number of minutes winning teams in the NCAA tournament have been trailing at any point in the eight games so far: just under five

total number of minutes winning teams in the NCAA tournament have been leading by *eight* goals: just under 30

Don Vaughn needed to take his timeout after the 2nd or 3rd Michigan goal, not the 6th. And now it’s 7-0, still with a few minutes left in the 2nd period

I have a confession to make.

While we were in, I was rooting hard for the rest of the ECAC to advance. Now that we are out, my interest in the rest of the tournament has dropped to exactly zero.

I still hope Q advances and wins, but I don't care.

If the meteor fragments in the atmosphere, can it hit Bridgeport and Allentown?

Not regionals, but some good news for a NYS neighbor (that is if someone can accept a school other than Cornell finding glory): Hobart won the D3 NCAA hockey championship today, their 1st. They beat defending champ Adrian (MI) 3-2 in OT.
