Title: Frozen Four Finest
Post by: Jim Hyla on September 11, 2014, 04:19:21 PM
Not that we have a large enough fan base, but is the 1970 team the "Finest"?

Does Union really belong on that list?

Also, the '06 Wisconsin should really be in any such discussion, but the stretch where Elliot was out makes them look worse than they actually were.

Not good for us, CU vs. LSSU voting is on Monday. I suspect not many fans are into it yet.

Is there a direct link to the poll itself?

Individual votes still seem to have the power to move the percentages, and it's close, so get to it.

Not so close anymore; Lake Superior State is pulling away rapidly. If you tweet or share after you vote, please include the link, which it appears the NCAA's suggested text does not.

Sorry to be dense, but...  how do I vote?  I'm on the page for the matchup (http://www.ncaa.com/news/icehockey-men/frozen-fours-finest/2014-09-01/frozen-fours-finest-round-11970-cornell-vs-1994) and I don't see any kind of a poll.

We won. (http://www.ncaa.com/news/icehockey-men/frozen-fours-finest/2014-09-01/frozen-fours-finest-round-11970-cornell-vs-1994) It was 65-35 at the end.

So when I followed the link (on my phone) the only button I could see for voting gave me the option of doing it with twitter or facebook, and I came away with the impression that you had to tweet or share in order to vote.  Since I didn't feel like spamming my friends about it, and have a locked twitter account anyway, I navigated away from the page.  Was I mistaken?

I thought I voted twice.  Once at work on a PC and once at home on a tablet.  But I didn't tweet or post to Facebook so? ?

I thought that once I clicked on Cornell I had voted.

I'm very uninterested in "VOTE IN OUR MEANINGLESS ONLINE (easily hackable) POPULARITY VOTING CONTEST FOR A THING YOU LIKE! BEAT THE OTHERS! (and drive traffic to our site, pretty-please)" hysteria, but for marketing-driven "tweet to win" things, I created an anonymous dummy twitter account that follows nobody & nobody follows. Bleep-blorp -- away goes my sweepstakes entry into the ocean of oblivion.

So Minny is losing to Maine in the last Round 2 match. That means we could be up tomorrow against BU in the semis. It brings back fond memories, even if this is the 2009 BU team.

Yeah, but can you find the right page anywhere? There's no link yet on http://www.ncaa.com/news/icehockey-men/frozen-fours-finest/2014-09-11/frozen-fours-finest-bracket and I'm not real keen on trying to suss out the exact URL by extrapolating from previous ones.

There are clearly loads of people voting.

Hate to break it to you, but 42-1-2 (.956) is awfully close to 29-0 (1.000).

And...the only team to beat them was: BU.  Screw those guys.
