Hard to choose after a day of pretty outstanding hockey. But I did.

A great day at the rinks, both real and virtual...some great hockey and display of both individual and team skill.

I can't see BC getting by UW...the Badgers are just too deep.

If they each bring their "A" game, Cornell vs UM should be a barnburner and maybe even one for the record books. But hard to top today's Cornell-BU game...what an amazing display. To paraphrase the play by play commentator, "we may never see a better hockey game for the rest of our lives!" As I pondered in another thread earlier, will Cornell be jacked or fighting their legs in the latter part of the game?

Should be worth the price of admission.

15 goals allowed and it's the best game one could ever see? Laughable.

Obviously, what he meant by "better" was "entertaining" or "exciting"...after all, isn't that why most fans watch games, to be entertained or even excited by the suspense of either a low scoring or high scoring close contest by two great teams that leave everything on the ice?

What does that say about your MH lines then? I didn’t see the game live, but the broadcast showed a game that UW controlled pretty handily. #9 scored a very weak goal where she basically threw the puck in the general direction of the next and Rigsby just missed. She makes that save 999 times out of 1000, so minus that it is a 2-0 game with an empty netter to make it 3-0. The Badgers clearly are not firing on all cylinders, but to say the 2nd and 3rd line were invisible is a real stretch. In the game I watch those lines generally kept the play in the MH zone and had a number of great chances, I would frankly say more than I observed from any of the MH lines. That said the Badgers did what they needed to do to win!

God it's going to be so effing satisfying toppling the Badgers... So sick of the "you are not worthy" mindset everyone's supposed to have.

I agree. Remember that should you ever be having a conversation with a Northeastern men's hockey fan and you find yourself starting to form a sentence concerning NCAA or Beanpot success. When they drop the puck, the scoreboard reads "0 - 0", and the history is only that.

Was the poll that came out last night deleted ?. (My post and vote seems to have disappeared).

I believe J.P.S. was kind enough to redo the poll, because the previous edition was not public. Also, voters are supposed to pick two teams here, because there are two games.

ARM is correct. I'm a poll virgin and got pretty much everything wrong the first time.

Everyone does the first time they make a poll. And slow learners like myself are still repeating those same mistakes years later. Remembering to make it public is always the hardest part, because the box has to be clicked after creating the thread, and by then, the poster is just hurrying to get the poll made before everyone has time to ask, "Where's the poll?"

Had to repost this.
