Edit 2: NoDak lost 4-1.

I like how it was edited to include a lot of scoring chances and saves.

Large and loud crowd in Omaha.

Reported attendance last nite was 438 at Harvard & 700 at Yale.  Our women's games draw much larger crowds.

Not a fair comparison. Our women's team is much better too.

And the first round traditionally has had poor attendance.  In addition, the Frozen Four is sending me a "please buy tickets so attendance doesn't suck like it did in Buffalo" messages every few days.  (Seems like every few hours....)  Attendance IS an issue at many sporting events.

CHN addressed this in Jan. with a very interesting article: https://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2020/01/29_Crowded-Interest.php

The Yalies are on spring break, so that partially explains the poor attendance for Friday's game.

Bright even emptier.  They must be being extra careful of contagion.

Saturday's game 2 of possibly 3. Upsets brewing. Could Cornell wind up hosting Princeton next week?

Princeton up 4-1 with under 15 minutes left. Looks like the Tigers will be visiting Lynah next week.

I guess we shouldn't complain about Dartmouth being removed, right?

Well, sports being what they are, Dartmouth with two quick goals and now it's 4-3 with under 7:00 minutes left. Hold your hats.
