Right, and Poulin (who scored both gold medal game goals, I know you know) has yet to decide. Don't want to speculate further, but Cornell has to be a leading contender.

I hate these kinds of games. Controlling the entire game but can't get past the goaltender.

Other than the PP, I haven't thought Clarkson has really controlled much of anything. They've gotten some good chances but both teams have had minimal scoring opportunities.

Not from the Olympics, but Jen Schoullis missed the season due to a medical redshirt. I know the Gophers are very much looking forward to having her back next year.

I'm not sure how Harvard only took 1 of 4 points against this team in the past month. Clarkson has been dreadful since February. (I guess they only come to play when the want revenge, see the WDT yesterday). There couldn't possibly be a better QF opponent for Minnesota (except perhaps UNH).

It feels like they get 5 or 6 point blank shots on every pp, though.

Well, if you've been watching the game, Clarkson is dominating the game, just can't get past the goaltender. Regardless, Clarkson will retain the #5 PWR even with a loss today, so they'll likely play Harvard, not Minny.

I agree. They're PP has been very strong. And since they've scored they've definitely had some momentum.

One never knows. They deviated from the selection criteria a couple of years ago, selecting Dartmouth over Clarkson even though Clarkson had a higher PWR. It would be interesting to see what they do with Clarkson/Harvard at 4/5. Clarkson is 2-0-1 against the Crimson but may end up on the road by the letter of the PWR.

First round at campus sites, single game or best of 3?

I know they paired Minnesota & Wisconsin in 2008, but I think that was a strange year where they had a tighter budget, and they overreacted to the feedback they got from 2007 when they sent No. 6 Harvard to No. 1 Wisconsin to avoid an intraconference matchup. They went from one extreme of giving "avoiding intraconference" too much importance, to the opposite extreme of ignoring it entirely. I expect a more reasonable stance on intraconference pairings going forward.
Perhaps. But sending UNH to Harvard instead is probably cheaper than sending Clarkson, and it avoids an intraconference matchup, and doesn't screw up bracket integrity all that much (switching 5 & 6).

Sending CCT or UNH to Harvard is cost-wise virtually equal. Or should I say, sending one of the 2 out west and keeping 1 east is virtually equal. However, giving an advantage to an underperforming UNH team that Clarkson has beaten would be a significant change in an 8 team tournament.

I doubt they'd go against the PWR this time. Harvard's margins over Clarkson (assuming a loss today) in the non head-to-head criteria would be much larger than Clarkson's margins were over Dartmouth in 2008.
Clarkson can't go 3-5-2 in February while Harvard goes 8-1-1 and not expect that to cost them home ice, unless Clarkson wins today. (not implying late season performance is a factor, just that Clarkson lost 4 more games than Harvard in February and that is basically the difference in the PWR now)
