Boooooooo!
Miami had been dominating OT until then and I really wanted them to win.

Whitney made a once-in-a-lifetime shot on a rebound, while simultaneously diving and being pushed down by a Miami defenseman - hard to begrudge them a thing of beauty like that one.

Glad to see an eastern team going to Denver, even if it'll be the third year in a row I see BC play in the FF.

[quote Jeff Hopkins '82]Even in football, everyone calls them BC, not Boston. It shows how little Melrose deals with the college game.

And it just sounds wrong.[/quote]

It seems like a small thing, and he gives a lot more color than many. I guess I'm more concerned about some of the no nothing announcers.

I'll give you that. He does enjoy the game, and he knew his stats and player names. There are a lot worse.

I would have preferred Miami, even if it meant no Eastern team in the FF. Tough loss for them.

Agree, in one way I wanted to see an all western final with only one WCHA team. Man, I guess they (WCHA) really get to me. Anyway, go Wis.

Wisconsin scores! 1-0

trainbow · March 30, 2008, 08:32:28 PM

This has been an entertaining game to listen to (through KFGO 790 internet feed, free).

Jacob '06 · March 30, 2008, 09:04:03 PM

NoDak scores. 2-1 badgers

Rita · March 30, 2008, 09:05:04 PM

now 2-2.

judy · March 30, 2008, 09:05:18 PM

holy crap! what is with tonight's games where the the evil team comes back down 2-0 and scores within seconds to tie it up!

Jacob '06 · March 30, 2008, 09:09:21 PM

I'm rooting for NoDak. I don't think Wisconsin belongs in the tourney, and its pretty sad that they even get to play on their home ice.

Are you daft, man? Nobody here calls BC "Boston". Where did you hear that, 'cause this is the first time I've heard it.

NoDak isn't in the Axis of Evil (Minnesota, BC, Michigan), but I'm all for Wisconsin. They're certainly my favorite western team, and there would be something funny in a sub .500 team winning it all -- it would kind of invalidate the entire year.

I'm with you on that one. And then I'm rooting for whoever gets Notre Dame to take them out. I just don't think Touchdown Jesus has any business being on skates. Nevertheless, if it comes down to BC vs. ND, what does the Pope do?
