You said it best. Absolute collapse by Norwich.
Up 3-0 and 4-2 and somehow dont win.
They were lucky to not lose it a few moments before the GWG when they gave up an odd player rush almost instantaneously.
I didn’t have a good feeling once we went to OT…the way the two teams went off it was...
Absolutely embarrassing for the NCAA to not have working audio for their first 7 minutes of that game.
How did you not test it 20 times before the start of the game?
What's ironic is the success and path of the men's and women's hockey teams are probably what paved the way for the addition of so many sports at Mercyhurst, including the eventual elevation of the entire athletic department to Division I.
Haha. I did not do the tracking of that. But yeah it's probably been what almost 10 years since someone was doing that? Might have been one of those things that fell defunct during COVID.
Also, same head coach for basically their entire existence. Rick Gotkin announced his retirement after 38 years at the helm of the program earlier this year.
The only year he wasn't the head coach was their inaugural year in 1987-88.
I don't know how many of the "newer" posters will remember since it was a long time ago, but Mercyhurst used to be a very relevant name in the Division III world. They started out as Division III program and then transitioned to Division II for awhile, but still participated in a combo Division...
Practice day for each of the final four teams in River Falls!
Norwich arrived in Minnesota yesterday mid-day after flying out of Boston and they held a practice at University of St. Thomas' new rink.
Obviously you have to play the games, but I think Norwich is a pretty solid favorite vs...
I was there in 2008 I believe when Michigan was there and they played Clarkson in the regional final and there was a decent crowd there, but even then I think the official box score only listed it around 4K or 5K.
Albany is also a 16K seat arena…so no matter what, it’s going to look empty.
Gavin McKenna should draw some fans. Michigan will draw some fans.
It won’t be great, but it also won’t be the worst attended regional I’ve ever seen
I believe the NCAA mandated the 1 seed play the late game recently. Or maybe that’s just in the non-neutral site games. I know Norwich was forced to play the late game in 2018 when they hosted.
While it won’t be “packed”, I think you’ll see a good crowd in Utica.
There will be casuals there. Hamilton and Hobart should bring could crowds with proximity.
Be interesting to see what shows up for Aurora and Stout.
I’m excited to see how it plays out. Hard to argue these aren’t the four...
River Falls is no doubt the favorite...but they've got a tough draw to try and get the third in a row.
Amherst is going to be a tough matchup to get by and if they win that, Norwich I expect to get by Nazareth and they have been playing lights out hockey for two months.
Norwich kind of lucky to even get it to OT honestly with a bad play by goalie gave them a gift of a goal.
Hamilton was better team and deserved the win.
Norwich definitely trending well. But aside from the NCAA Tournament appearance, this team wasn’t THAT different than the last few years...
All Hamilton right now in the second period vs the Cadets.
Hamilton scored a goal on a 3 on 2 counter rush earlier in the second period.
Continentals play impressive team defense.
