2-0 Wisco after two. Rigsby just made a big save at the end of the second to preserve the donut.

Clarkson is in the middle of nowhere and we manage to fill out a schedule.

ARM, I think the point you made unintentionally debunked the theory that the WCHA is that much better. Clarkson was able to go out to Grand Forks and split with the Sioux and UND was able to come to Potsdam and do the same. It at least insinuates that the teams are of similar quality.

so what you are saying is that the best ECAC team is comparable to the third best WCHA team ;)

I have to compliment the Wisconsin play by play announcer as well. He was a pleasure to listen to (once the audio actually started!!), very knowledgeable and professional. If only there were more like him and the Minnesota announcer out east. What a refreshing change. He even got the offside calls right. :p

I only heard a part of the third period, but the UW announcer must have set a new world record for most times mispronouncing Ammerman. Airman? Other than that, he was fine.

19 seconds left in the game with Mashmeyer pulled for the extra attacker and the screen went black.

But I see UW won, nonetheless.

Haha. Yeah I noticed that...at first I wondered who he was talking about. But I guess I'm so used to announcers butchering names every game, even on their own team it hardly phases me anymore. Lev-EE-ay for Minnesota too.

Even Natalie Darwitz at the Olympics was saying Noora "Ratty". For crying out loud, you were on her coaching staff at the "U". It made me appreciate the one in four coaches of other teams that actually went to the trouble of getting her name right (or at least less wrong than most.) :D

So every quarterfinal was won by the more westerly team. Following this pattern, I predict North Dakota to win the whole thing.
 
Re: 2014 Women's D-1 National Tournament

Why doesn't the NCAA want to pay for flights for women's hockey teams? I just read the answer in the newspaper: they already "have to" pay to fly 75 people (including bands) for each of the 68 schools in March Madness, which are sometimes cross-country flights (e.g. Cambridge to Spokane). That's 5,100 plane tickets! And they worry about flying two dozen hockey players and coaches from one extra hockey team when doing so would preserve bracket integrity and avoid intra-conference match-ups!

That's incredibly screwed up. 75 PER TEAM?! Ridiculous considering the average basketball roster is about 15. Adding the team staff, that's flights for about 50 hangers-on. Times 68. Complete waste of money.

This article was just in the Mpls paper: two local teams going to the D3 final four were not allowed to share a flight: http://www.startribune.com/sports/gophers/250900121.html

Not sure what this says about your contention about them being unwilling to pay for flights...

The comment referred to the fact that the NCAA screws around with bracket integrity in women's hockey to avoid paying for some flights..not that they don't pay for any.
