Grosenick (sp?), the Union goalie, stood on his freaking head in the game today. Wow.

The save he made where he turned himself inside out, missed with the glove, then tipped the puck out from the goal a millisecond before it broke the plane, all while bent at an angle that would kill most humans, was jaw-dropping.

And when they replayed it, they showed a similar juggling act that he performed earlier in the game.  Good video can make it much more enjoyable to watch someone like Grosenick.  I saw him 6 times this year but never saw that wonderful slow motion acrobatics.

Here's another reason to root for Union.  Grosenick has been so impressive on the biggest stage in college hockey that if he repeats the feat he's a flight risk.  After all, if he wins the national championship, athletically there is nothing more to strive for at this level.

He's an undrafted sophomore, so there's no pro team pressuring him to abandon school to get experience at a higher level.  I think a bigger flight risk for them is Welsh, who's starting to get a lot of press.  Given that they are only losing two impact players (Zajac and Julseth-White) to graduation, this is a team that will remain mostly in tact for next season.  Zajac is the only senior in their top 15 in scoring.  I can't see any outcome in Tampa that won't result in them all saying "let's come back next year and do it (again)."  

Of course, that's what UVM said after their 1996 FF appearance, and by most metrics had a disappointing Senior campaign for St. Louis, Perrin, and Thomas.  Darn it all. :-}

I can dream.

Another thing is that if you were recruited to the Union hockey team a few years ago the odds are good that what you really wanted to do was play hockey at Union.  Not only are they a tiny school with tremendous esprit de corps, but nobody is going into there thinking about two and screw the way they would at a factory program.

What's wrong with having a strong Union in the ECAC?  All we do is complain that weak in conference opponents hurt RPI/KRACH/PWR, and now we have an opportunity to have two nationally recognized teams.  I hope they all stay and the ECAC builds on the success of Union/Cornell this spring.

+1 is not enough. QFT.

But I don't wanna have anyone in the ECAC be more successful than us!

You'd rather have teams from a different conference be more successful?

He can kiss any chance of holding a government position goodbye if he ever changes his mind about retiring (at least I think he's retiring, it said he's not seeking reelection).

But Union to us isn't like Duke to Carolina.  It's more like Wake Forest.

It doesn't mean that I want to wish them well in the post-season. I wish them immense luck in the regular season so that when Cornell beats them, Cornell gains all the valuable PWR points.

I think you underestimate where the loyalties in NC lie. This probably would have guaranteed his reelection.

Not even that. More like Appalachain State,
