Hoping for a UConn vs. Dartmouth regional final on Saturday, but will probably be too busy at Isaac's birthday party anyway. All other factors aside, I can't say I'm disappointed to be in a Friday/Sunday regional this year.
Also, ain't it nice to get to the time of year where other game results don't affect our NPI, they only determine our potential future opponents?

Did they say this would be the first NCAA win for Dartmouth in SEVENTY SEVEN YEARS? First... national title, right?
Quote from: stereax on March 26, 2026, 01:54:17 PMDid they say this would be the first NCAA win for Dartmouth in SEVENTY SEVEN YEARS? First... national title, right?
No, they last won a semifinal (back when the field was four teams) back in 1949, and have never won the national title nor won an NCAA tournament game since.

Holy shit. I could've sworn they were decent in the 60s or 70s, maybe just in ECAC play.
1-0 UConn, MSU to their third PK of the period...
Holy shit what a goal by Ryker Lee.
1-1 after 1.
Penalty shot???
Quote from: stereax on March 26, 2026, 03:08:44 PMPenalty shot???
I agree with that call - he had a clear shot to the goal and got hooked. We were robbed of similar consideration - what should've been an automatic goal awarded, not just a Penalty shot, since the net was empty at the time - late in our season, and I still don't understand why. Obviously it didn't affect the outcome, but still.

That feels like it's happened SEVERAL times in the past few weeks in college hockey and they refuse to call the PS/AG.

A fair cop. But I also think that the broadcaster's statement can be fairly understood to mean a victory in an NCAA tournament elimination game.

Even MSU's coach Nightingale said UConn was the better team on the ice today. Not sure I'd go that far - I think he's trying to be a sportsman - but they sure did enough to get it done if Augustine hadn't stood on his head.

The shot totals were like 40 to 25 and UConn had five or six powerplays. If you don't run into the world's hottest goalie, you pot 3 or 4 goals and win handily. Augustine had at least three separate saves of the game to keep MSU in it.
So there's no SOG counter anywhere at the arena (which is a WTF moment). Based on pure in-person observation, I had no idea UConn outshot MSU that much. UConn definitely blocked more shots, but Sparty was clearly the bigger and faster team. They beat out the race to the dots on icing at least a half dozen times and manhandled UConn players off the puck repeatedly.

You don't consider any of the Cornell results in the last 4 years success? The teams have thrilled me with wins over favored teams from Denver, Maine and MSU! Yes, the next rounds has been frustrating, but sometimes being there is more than half the battle. We were IN all of the Regional Finals and came up short.

All that's telling me is we're one of the top 8 teams in the country pretty consistently.
Which, ya know. Is pretty damn good.
Good 3rd period between MSU & UW, but the level of B10 entitlement from the broadcast crew is gross. Also 2006 talk...
Wisconsin just erased a 2-goal deficit and MSU just called for embellishment to match a rough. 3 minutes left in regulation.

I was gonna suggest we call him Trey Augusieve but he does have two gold WJC medals... so.
Wisconsin making it out is fucking hysterical though. Easily the easiest bracket to be in as the 1 seed.
My understanding is that Wisconsin demonstrated the talent to go far this season in flashes but were very inconsistent. It seems like they're peaking at the right time, although their goaltending is probably weak. As for MSU, one could argue that they should've lost to UConn
