Nice to see college hockey as a feature story!
It's nice we could help along this Cinderella story. Let's see if the skating Cinderella can fare better than the MSU Spartans.

A 3 seed certainly isn't a 1 seed, and they're definitely an underdog when playing UNC, but a cinderella?

FYP. MSU was a 2 seed. (Villanova was a 3.) A 2 is not a Cinderalla, no matter how many 1's they have to beat.
Bemidji had one good weekend. If Miami doesn't beat them, Hockey East will.
I found it amusing that they melted their rink (not expecting to still be playing).
They're also getting play in WaPo and on XM. It is... irritating.

As annoying as all the Cinderella hype may be, I wonder if the tournament run and the publicity gets the Beavers into the WCHA. Bemidji couldn't have picked a better year to make this run.
