[quote jtwcornell91][quote Tom Lento][quote Trotsky][quote CKinsland]Yeah. I'm watching on TV, so I'm pretty sure it's 4-1. I guess they just got used to Bemidji being the only scoring team (or, the whole thing fried the innards of their computers).[/quote]

TV here has the heartpounding action of a US soccer game against Slovakia. Or Slovenia, I'm not sure.[/quote]

Bemidji - ND is on ESPN Classic, not ESPN 2. Yeah, it doesn't make sense to me, either.[/quote]

At one point there were three (scheduled) hockey games on at once, so they put the third one on ESPN Classic.[/quote]

That makes as much sense as ESPN's refusal to show hockey on the main channel.

Bemidji State wins!

The number 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 ranked teams in the last USCHO poll are all out. Cornell is the third-highest ranked team remaining in the tournament:

1. BU
8. Minn-Duluth
9. Cornell
11. Vermont
12. UNH
13. Miami
18. Air Force
22. Bemidji State

That was just a destruction. I'm not sure if Notre Dame didn't take Bemidji seriously or what, but this is not going to be easy tomorrow.

One thing that struck me, though, was Bemidji's reaction after they won. The goalie was jumping and they jumped over the boards to get on the ice as the clock struck 0. I'm not saying they shouldn't be happy or proud, this is a seminal win for them, but it was 5-1, not a heart-stopping victory. It almost seemed like they were still surprised to win. Maybe they won't show up like this tomorrow because they did "more than was expected". Or maybe they'll keep playing with house money and play the same way - I don't know.

Either way, it's gonna be interesting tomorrow.

Let's Go Red!!!!

Miami and Minn-Duluth scoreless about halfway through the second.

reilly83 · March 28, 2009, 10:09:12 PM

Miami with a SHG 1-0

Trotsky · March 28, 2009, 10:10:46 PM

If Miami and UNH win, the total national championships of the Frozen Four field will be either 2 or 0.

Miami killed off one 5x3, is on their second 5x3 and is called for a third penalty

CKinsland · March 28, 2009, 10:22:00 PM

Air Force and VT halfway through second OT.

If Miami wins, BU's path to the title will not involve any team higher than a 3 seed.

They are apparently reviewing on video to see whether a UVM shot went through the net to win it.

Sure looks like it.

Miami up 2-zip against Duluth, late in the second. The UVM announcers are getting hopeful for their review.

CKinsland · March 28, 2009, 10:36:41 PM

Yeah, this is taking forever.

It confused the announcers because the play under review happened well before the whistle, so they thought a totally different play was under review.

There has to be a hole in the net if that was a goal.

Do people still have audio for the UVM/VT game? I lost the audio ~ 20 min ago.

Wasn't it UVM who got effed when there was no video review in their NCAA SF against CC in 1996?
