Air force up 2-0 on a nice 2on1 goal.

AFA 2 - Mich. 0, 12 min. left in 2nd

2-0 end of two periods

2-0 end of two periods

During intermission, AFA calls HC for celebration advice. In other news, BU isn't complaining about getting tOSU in the first round anymore - though I guess they'd rather have Bemidji.

Go Air Force!

Through the first 53 minutes, AFA has played a very solid fundamental game.

Go Air Force!

Ditto. But it is that dreaded 2-goal lead and the Falcons seem very content to gain the red line and dump it in Michigan's zone.

2-0, 7 minutes left in the third.

Shots according to Gametracker: Michigan 36, AFA 10

The shot totals are misleading. Until Matt Rust hit the top of the post with 5 minutes left, the Wolverines hadn't had many Grade A chances. There have been lots of Grade B chances, but AFA has been effective at not allowing Michigan many chances in the slot.

I just tried justin.tv and noticed it is quite a bit ahead of my digital cable. Amusing.

Is justin.tv illegal? How is the stream accomplished?

Shh. Don't ask, don't tell.

I'm busy ordering Strap Perfect (for my wife)!

Great save by Michigan on a 2 on 1 with 3 minutes left.

His friend the post just saved him and kept it at 2-0.

TO Airforce, Michigan likely to pull aforementioned sieve.

Anybody see the 2 goals. I got home too late.

Michigan calls TO with 2:30 left after an AFA icing and pulls the goalie.

Actually I think he saved that one before the post.

AFA icing with 34.2 seconds left.

AF wins 2-0 - good show

It's over. The 2009 NCAA tournament starts off with a bang.

Air Force 2, Michigan 0.

Game over. No wonder Red hates traveling east of Ohio.

I missed the first 26 or 27 minutes. After I started watching, AFA's keep-the-opponent-to-the-outside strategy reminded me of the first two periods of the Cornell-Minnesota regional final in 2005.

Guess this is what happens when Michigan doesn't play in a Michigan regional.

huge upset, opens the door for Yale to the Frozen Four?

Do we think Justin will carry Yale-Vermont?

Also seems to open the door for Air Force!

Jim Hyla

I saw #2. A nice 2 on 1 breakout by AFA caught the goalie moving side to side.

Penalty on Vermont

Loupee from Camper and Wingels

and 5 on 4

Vermont scores, 1-0

Denver scored, Miami only up 3-1 with a minute left in the 2nd.

And Miami answers back, 4-1

After one in Bridgeport, Vermont 1 Yale 0

I heard Milo's name mentioned several times. Perhaps his father will drop by eLynah later. . .

2-0 Vermont now, early 2nd

Yale looked like us against them last Saturday in the 1st. Open nets, rebounds in front, just not lucky enough to bang one home.

anyone know of any net streams of Vermont-Yale Video?

Still 2-0 Vermont, just past the midway point, After the TV timeout Vermont will be on the power play. Yale called for too many men on the ice.

Geez, tough penalty on UVM with the ref assuming the cover up.

Another UVM penalty. Yale getting a 5x3 for 58 seconds. Yale takes a timeout. 4:43 left in the second.

edit: back to 5x5, 2:43 left in the second

Denver nets one with 4 minutes left it is 4-2 miami.

Jacob '06
Denver nets one with 4 minutes left it is 4-2 miami.

On a 6x3, btw.

Vermont scores again, 3-0, 59.3 seconds left in the 2nd

1 min left in second period

another upset

Well the first 2 games of the tournament are upsets, and the third one is looking like an upset. Lets hope at least the next 2 after that are upsets as well.

Hey Rita -

Final score in Mich/AF was 2-0. And I don't know what you have against Michigan, but it's definitely the best fight song in the world. Also, Miami just finished off Denver 4-2 and UVM is beating Yale 2-0. Maybe it's a lower seed type thing going on. Would be good for us tomorrow. Maybe it will turn around for the regional finals and we'll get all 3 seeds in the frozen four. I wouldn't complain.

ansky629
And I don't know what you have against Michigan,

really? You don't see how anyone could hate Michigan? Just by default? Are you new to the world of college hockey?[

but it's definitely the best fight song in the world.

In the world, eh? I dunno...Calcutta University has a really really great one...

Alright cool. I'll show up to your house with a boom box with it on and play it on repeat for 48 straight hours. That's what it's like going to a regional with Michigan. Eleventy billion times they play it.

Frankly, I'll take St. Olaf's anyday.

Third period begins in Bridgeport. . .

Sorry. Typo on the Michigan score. The Miami-Denver game ended as I was eating dinner (which was not ).

I'm living in Big 10 country, but not in Ann Arbor, so I believe that hatred of UM comes with the territory.

Their fight song is obnoxious, and it will be flushed from my brain in about 23 hours by the ND fight song, which is 3rd on the list of "overplayed fight songs" behind #1 UM, #2 USC.

(disclaimer: when I was living in Oregon, USC was #1 and UM #2 ).

5:26 to go, still 3-0 Vermont, you can pretty much stick a fork in Yale

5:26 to go, UVM up 3-zip. Very disappointing -- Yale had a genuinely good team.

Vermont scores again 4-0, 3:35 remaining

Yay Vermont!

I'm going to the frozen four and one of my three treams has to make it. Michigan is gone..and I don't know if it's our year.

now 4-0 Vermont. 3:35 left.

Where was that Yale team we played?

4-zero, the end.

Oh, and "Hail to the Victors" sucks. Among fight songs several thousand times better: Notre Dame, USC, and even Harvard.

Is Yale playing the role of Clarkson this year?

4-zero, the end.

Any fight song that annoys the crap out of the otehr side has to be good by definition. Then again, I went to MIchigan too.

Besides think about it. If you didn't go to cornell, just how dumb does davy sound? I'd bet it grates teh ears pretty badly. Oh wait, I forgot, we don't score that often to play it enough. Imagine it was a Lax game!

cbuckser
Is Yale playing the role of Clarkson this year?

No, they won the ECACs.

Beating us in Albany and then laying down in the NCAAs? Sounds, like, um...

Being an alum isn't mutually exclusive from recognizing that Davey's lame.

Of course "In Heaven There Is No Beer" is awesome as a fight song even if you're rooting for the other team.

I can't remember it. I do like their alma mater, though.

UMD 1 Princeton 1 end of one

uh no.

Clarkson actually won a first round game last year and if Sauer didn't stand on his head the next night, we may well have beaten Mich the next.

So how did Yale do today?

Rita
Air Force defeats Michigan 2-0.

aaaaaahhhhh See yaah. You lose!

Miami takes down #1 seed Denver 4-2.

Another "high seed" falls. Vermont defeats Yale 4-1.

Mich and Denver were both # 1 seeds in their region right?

Applying the "logic" that was used here 2 years ago when #1 Clarkson was shut out by U Mass, then both Denver and Mich "choked" today.

Is that right?

ridiculous.

Rich S

Yes, and going 0-5 between 1997 and 2007, including twice with a bye in the 12-team tournament and once as a 1-seed in the 16-team tournament, doesn't factor in at all.

I can't remember it. I do like their alma mater, though.

I wrote a parody of this many years ago when I thought there weren't any words. Some of the RIP alums took umbrage, but I thought the parody was a bit more fun than this:


Hail, dear old Rensselaer, the college of our heart.
For dear old Rensselaer, we all must do our part.
True to old Rensselaer, we'll always strive to be.
Now, dear old Rensselaer, hail to thee.

Hear the tramp, tramp, tramp of marching feet.
Hear the rat-tat-tat of drums that beat.
Hear the voices ringing loud and sweet.
Hear that mighty shout of ...

Hail, dear old Rensselaer, the college of our heart.
For dear old Rensselaer, we all must do our part.
True to old Rensselaer, we'll always strive to be.
Now, dear old Rensselaer, hail to thee.

Some fight songs should not have words. Case in point:

I am a Utah man, sir and I live across the green.
Our gang it is the jolliest that you have ever seen.
Our coeds are the fairest and each one's a shining star.
Our yell, you hear it ringing through the mountains near and far.

Who am I, sir, a Utah man am I:
A Utah man, sir, and will be till I die: Ki! Ki!
We're up to snuff: we never bluff.
We're game for any fuss.
No other gang of college men dare meet us in the muss.
So fill your lungs and sing it out shout it to the sky.
We'll fight for dear old crimson for a Utah man am I!

2-1 Tigers, according to the USCHO Score Update thread.

3-1 Princeton, 11:50 left in the 2nd. Very Pretty goal on a big, phat, rebound.

Chris 02
UMD 1 Princeton 1 end of one

Princeton now leads 2-1 in the 2nd.

UMD cuts it to 3-2. Is this lacrosse?

Now 3-2 Tigers.

UMD took 28 seconds to negate the Tigers 2 goal lead.

Now 3-2 Princeton

and that has what to do with Yale this year?

no, I do not. Any team in the field of 16 can beat another. Give credit to the victor rather than trashing the higher seed as you love to do.

Is it possible that you can actually be this arrogant?
