Just wanted to mention that the two teams helped most by bad officiating in the openning round of the playoffs are now playing in the finals.
I give them both credit for making the most of their chances, but they both should give a big thanks to the on ice officials for their success.

Just goes to show how tight most of the games in NCAA hcokey really are. A couple lucky breaks or bad calls here and there and you can end up in the title game or even winning it.

Well, one of them is certainly going to win it.

Like Ralph, I will be rooting for UMD. At least Yale still had a chance to win that game.
Michigan was just handed the victory.

Comments from Jim Montgomery http://www.thonline.com/article.cfm?id=317363

"It's extremely gratifying for me to see RPI make it back, because I was so involved in recruiting that team," Montgomery said. "The last couple of years I was there, we thought we had the talent to make it but we came up a little short. I know how much work (head coach) Seth (Appert) has put into the program, and it's great to see him rewarded."

Congrats on your two All-Americans. Not surprised about Polacek, can't say the same about Bailen though.

Holy cow-we have a first team and a second team All American! Just some more evidence that this program is on the right track. Congrats to Chase and Nick.

My congrats too. Considering that Bailen was 1st team All-ECAC, it isn't surprising to me that he was named on one of the East All-American teams.

Today is 9 April 2011. There are 175 days (25 weeks) until RPI's next game.

This is based upon 1 October for the start of next season.

That is the day that an exhibition game is supposedly scheduled.

No, I'm sure it's been nothing but beer and potato chips.
