NCAA Tournament Game Thread 3/29

[Trotsky]

Minny up 5-3 with 5 to go.

NoDak - Ferris are tied at 1.

Mankato - Lowell underway in The Battle of the Blands.

[Trotsky]

Gophers win, 7-3

Congrats to the Dutchmen! If they can somehow muster 2 more wins, that would be very good for Cornell.

It would be detrimental to Cornell's chances of ever winning a national title, but it might make Cornell feel a little better about their season.

If I were a betting woman, I'd put money on Rocco Grimaldi scoring for NDak and winning this in OT.

I hope I'm wrong on the team.

Ferris playing wonderful team defense, very much in our style.

I share your fear that the Skating Racists will just have too many chances.  If FSU wins it's going to be by sneaking behind NoDak and getting a cheapy.

Shit.

NDak wins on a goal early in the 2nd OT. No, it wasn't Rocco Grimaldi. In my disappointment, I didn't check the name of the scorer.

St. Cloud scores late in the 2nd; leads Notre Dame 3-2 at the intermission.

I actually think that U winning it all might be the best way for us to change and progress. If we were to have back to back Yale/Union champions, it might be the best way to shake up the coaches and convince them that opening up the offense is the way to win.

I suppose that's another way to look at it.  Definitely hurts our chances of winning the ECAC (getting into the tourney) and recruiting, though.

[Bahnstorm]

At this point any damage regarding recruiting has already been done. U is in the Frozen Four, we are not. Might as well pull for the ECAC.

[Trotsky]

Notre Dame and St. Cloud going to overtime.

[ugarte]

Beautiful play to set up the game winner for St. Cloud. Sniper shot too, off the far post and in by Dowd.
