Re: Bracketology
That was the night freshman Adam Murray played in goal. He was simply dreadful. With Chevy in net, I like DU's chances against any of those three teams, especially in Worcester with 1,500 total fans on hand.

Re: Bracketology
Granted this regional does not have traditional hockey powers, but aren't you selling the nations leading offense short?
PS: Ask Cornell, Ferris State, and even Wisconsin about Yale.

Re: Bracketology
That's been something that our band has been doing more often. Usually they just play the Mickey Mouse Club theme when the opposition comes out (except for Harvard - they play Love Story), but in the NCAA's they've gotten more creative. They've played "The Victors" when we played Ohio State, "On Wisconsin" when we played the Goofers, and the Notre Dame Fight Song when we played BC. I wasn't aware of them playing Denver's fight song for CC, but that's just because I don't know Denver's fight song.
And Gurtholfin, thanks for the compliment on the Green Bay regional. It took me several days for my voice to come back, but it was worth it.

Re: Bracketology
As an RIT fan, so would I!!
Nothing like virtually a home game against #1. Honestly, I don't care where or who if RIT makes their first NCAA tourney. Stay on top Denver, I'd love to see you play.

RPI has a good team and shut down Yale twice, most recently in New Haven.
However, don't discount the fact that Yale leads the nation in scoring with over 4 goals a game.
Yale has offense? Our team sure as heck didn't see much.....

I'm well aware; Broc Little has given Chase Polacek a run for his money in the ECAC points tally..... hence the smilie at the end.

Re: Bracketology
Beware of the national statistics trap. No disrespect to Yale, but if they played in the WCHA, there is no way the Bulldogs would be scoring 4 goals per game. Yale would likely be a midpack team team in the WCHA, scoring about 3 or so goals per game.
That doesn't mean they can't advance in a one-game elimination NCAA tourney, but to think they have the nation's best offense is one of the problems of national stats when overall league quality varies as much as it does in college hockey.

You mean Jared DeMichiel isn't really the 7th best goaltender in the country!

Pretty generous there Swami. Fighting with for seventh place or so and a sub .500 record would be my guess. No offense to Yale.

LOL.
Yale's offense would torch the WCHA, too. They would be giving up a lot more scoring, though -- their goaltending is very suspect (unless they're playing us).

You mean the piped in music after DU goals isn't their fight song?
I'm so confused......

Re: Bracketology
Dude, the WCHA players are superhuman He-Men, not like mere mortals from other leagues. Wimps like Cindy Crosby and Wayne Gretzky wouldn't have made the cut in the WCHA. It should be an honor that teams from the WCHA even bother to share the ice with teams from inferior leagues.

I agree, i'll put Yale just above UMD if they were in the WCHA. I saw them play at midseason and they play a lot like UMD, up and down the ice, fast but a bit undersized.
