NCAA Games of Saturday, 3/24

End 2: Air Force 2 Minnesota 1.  If they lose back-to-back to Holy Cross and Air Force, do they have to disband?

(I keed.  We all know Minny's going to come back and win.  Dang it.)

I think in that case the WCHA champ has to play a play-in game against the CCHA champ next season. :-P

We're completely audio-less on BC-SLU now.  Growl.

3-1 Air Force

[Trotsky]

BC and SLU trade goals.  2-1 Eagles.

[Trotsky]

Minny scores on pp.  Air Force leads, 3-2, 8 to go.

It'll probably take a few more Gopher chokings before Minny becomes the new Hahvahd-one-and-done tournament team.  But still, it doesn't even seem that fluky... from what I've been reading, AFA has been significantly outplaying Minnesota.  I don't know how their goaltender's been doing, or if the Gophers are just really sucking it up, but they just need to hold on a little longer, or put one or two more past Briggs.

I found this USCHO forum comment particularly amusing:

"Altitude" excuses coming from the Twin Cities in 3...2..."

dang!  minnetonka tied it up

[Trotsky]

Minny ties it, and gravity is still a law.

[Trotsky]

Minny 4-3.  Goal under review.

[Trotsky]

Goals counts.  4-3 Gophers.  3 Minn goals in about 4 minutes.

[Trotsky]

4-3 Minny wins.

[Jim Hyla]

Greg, UND-Mich is not a 5:30 EDT start. MT yes, 7:30 EDT.

Well AFA was the toughest of the two automatic qualifiers. ;-)

I leave the bar at 3-1, 10 minute drive home and get there just in time for the 4-3 final. So disappointing.

Now why can't our team learn how to do that?

Perhaps we should play Providence again and let them go up 4-1 in the 3rd for motivation.
