Speaking of overrated goalies...

Minnesota's Pride on the Links!

(Union, congrats.)

Congrats, Union College! Representing ECAC Hockey to the fullest! Big Red have a lot of work to do

The small consolation in having the ECAC win back-to-back championship is that both years they knocked out Minnesota enroute to the hardware. Union definitely was sacraficing the body... a lot of block shots and made a lot of key plays. As bittersweet as it is, they definitely earned it.

Post game interviews.... Rare to hear kudos being given to the team sports psychologist in the immediate wake of a championship

Congrats to Union. Very mixed feelings.

No mixed feelings. Unless we think it was our championship to win. Good for the ECAC, good for NYS hockey, good for small schools messing up the NCAA ideal that D1 needs to be only huge schools, good for teams that skate the puck not thump the body.

No mixed feelings here at all. Great to see ECAC take down BC and the Goofers two years running.

Sure, sure— +/- is meaningless. But Gostisbehere was +7 in this game.

Union was a pleasure to watch. They do about everything as well as a college team can do. 1 NHL draft pick to 14 for Minny, but it was no contest who the better team was tonight.

I haven't seen a guy dominate a game like that since Kariya or Nieuwy. I haven't seen a defenseman dominate a game like that, ever.

Fuckin' A. The best part is the Flyers have to write him a blank check. Oddly, we contained him in a way Minny couldn't.

That Union team was much, much better than Yale 2011 or ever Cornell 2003. I think we have to go back to the Harvard teams of the late 80's to get an ECAC team that was so perfectly balanced.

Now I hope the fuckers completely implode and never compete again.

I won't be so lucky. :`-(

One of the most impressive team performances I have ever seen in any sport. Union looked like the Soviet team from the 1970s and 80s with how well they played with each other. Regardless of what this means for Cornell and the ECAC, let's just take a moment to congratulate Union on a truly impressive run

They wrote the answers on both shirt cuffs.

Why in the world would that have to write the answers on their shirt cuffs? It is not like that was going to impact their grade.
