2017 National Championship Thread

Re: 2017 National Championship Thread

For a team that's 26-1-3, we sure do have a lot of unforced turnovers in our own zone.

Yeah, that really sucked. The Aud treated it as one event and should had two tickets (one each game). We had an hour and a half between and I was looking forward to a beer. Lake placid allowed it.

I can't get over the ncaa extreme aversion to beer! ALL signs covered etc. Geez... Face reality ...people like beer and 99.9% of them have no problem at all.

The no re-entry thing is Trumpian BS (and -look at the numbers- Oneida County completely LOVED him!)...

It amounts to a "security" distinction without a difference. We didn't attend for that very reason. No way in the world we were going to subsist on Aud food for 7 hours. We can easily survive without beer for that span, but chicken fingers and fries..? IDTS. Been to many D-1 Regionals over the years, we were all allowed to come and go at will, and there were no dirty bombs smuggled-in that I can recall.

Looking at the attendance figures, looks like Utica blew it. Would be interested in others' takes on the experience there, though.

There's a lot more here today than yesterday. More Norwich fans than Trinity. Likely more able to make the drive without work or class on a Saturday.

Back to the action: how was a hit after the whistle into the glass with a stick held across the neck not even called?

There should be steaks all around tonight for Charlie and the Cadets. Congrats!

Hmmm...you must have missed the hit from behind after it was clear he was going to lose the icing by the said trinity player/

If anything should have been penalties both ways..happy they didn't give anything.

PS.... National Champions - Norwich Cadets

No longer, the NCAA holds attendees hostage between semi-final games as well.

They figured out that people could scalp a ticket unless the held everybody hostage. If A plays B in a semi, once it was over, fans from the two team could go and sell their tickets to fans of the other semifinalists and the NCAA wouldn't get their cut.

Well...the Clinton County Fair figured out a way....You can't get back in with the ticket because they take it and stamp your hand ! No stamp...no return !
 
altazo said:
Do they stamp your seat assignment for the fair onto your hand as well?

No, but if you use the ticket for that seat to get in in the first place and then use the stamp for re-entry, you'd still find that nobody else would have another ticket with your seat assignment. Besides, when attendance is a third of capacity, as it was this weekend, who gives a rat's behind about where you sit (as long as people with disabilities are accommodated)?

I think if someone more local was in might have been better (Oswego, Hobart, Hamilton, even Plattsburgh.) I've been to Placid for these things and plenty of good seats available there too. That said, for a "hockey town" the locals sure seem to have an aversion to hockey, which I thought was one of the best FF I have seen personally.. Horton room open for finals and had private trinity party for semis. If you had trinity colors you were in though. Could have been better could have been worse. Fans seemed to like the big screen hamming it up, so that was nice.

Probably need a ticket for each game to solve this though that would entail clearing the building after the game.

Can I say something then.......uh...no. But congrats! They played great no matter the uniform! Very impressed with their quickness. And that little #21....wow. Really good squad.

Tyler Piacentini. What a kid. What a leader. I've never seen an athlete, in any sport, play harder. Kid laid it on the line, every shift, every night, for four years. He will be missed.

I had a colleague who use to say, "Nose to nose...is where you close." Tyler is that kind of kid. Very much the same kind of gritty kid...and about same size as former NU player Nevin Lawler....never afraid of anyone regardless of size. Lawler once laid out a UMass player twice his size...and the zebras asked him politely to leave the game. But Tyler is more than just tough...he seems to be great leader on the ice as well. But shouldn't the hockey team be a reflection of what the school is suppose to be about? LEADERSHIP!! Yes...Tyler will be missed (and well remembered when he makes it to the NU Sports Hall of Fame). But new leaders will emerge.

Indeed. Nevin Lawler 2.0
