Great win dawgs, now all you have to do is beat the team that finished 2nd place in the EZAC if they make it past WCHA #6th place finisher CC.

Yale brought a good effort forward, Air Force plays some solid D in that first period. Few good chances for Yale and led the possession for most of that period. If Yale keeps up this game, a few are bound to go in.

Time to get that whole SPELLING thing worked out next, sugar.
Hahaha, I am far from new to this buddy. I figured out the rep funcion a long long time ago. If I see something I find to be rude and disrespectful (especially like in this case for no reason) then I will negative rep the person responsible. TALK **** GET HIT!!!
Gooooo Yale and Union. Kick some *** and make the ECAC proud

Wrong team from the Colorado Springs area.

Calm down, honey buns.
IF you would have told me that UMD would limit Unions potent power play to 0 for 8 (or 0 for 9 whatever it was), I would have called you crazy!

Let's go Duluth.
Yale is way overrated. We all knew it, and I think Air Force proved it, again. Even though they lost.

Yale survives a close one.
Air Force was a class bunch and I'll be pulling for them whenever they aren't facing Yale.
Tomorrow is the time for this Yale team to make program history!

For the fans on the east coast, what's the issue with the ice in Bridgeport? It looked very slow in both games today and there were many bouncing pucks. The UMD players evidently commented on how poor the ice was at their practice yesterday. Does anyone have any information regarding the ice condition.
In contrast, CC and BC look very fast as the ice appears to be very good in St. Louis. I know that UMD can skate with CC so it has to be the ice.

Wouldn't be a USCHO thread involving Yale if there wasn't at least one Sioux Dbag jumping in and dumping some s**t. BC is down 4-2 to CC as I write this. Are they overrated too? Oh wait, I know, everyone who is not the Sioux is overrated or undeserving

Just back from 2 games. A long day starting with beers and lunch, then sitting thru two games for 6.5 hours with endless TV timeouts, glass problem timeouts, and no beer and lousy arena food. They should at least make an effort on the food if they are going to have you captive for six hours - probably a 100 vendors in Bridgeport could make a decent sausage w/ onions and peppers. No need to debate the beer - such is life in the ncaa. The pa announcer and the music were brutal - very very loud. Literally could not talk to my neighbor between whistles. As expected, this grouping brought 3 fan bases that did not travel and another in bow ties. The whole affair was a bit emotionless. Finally, the ice sucked - pucks bouncing and players falling and somewhat slow. Those were all the negatives.
As for the hockey, it was good. And the Yale band kept the pa and music shut down for most of game 2 - thank the lord for them.
Game 1: Union dominated the 1st period and forced 4 penalties but the PP was largely ineffective. Down 10-1 in shots after 15 min, UMD then scored on a nice PP deflection from the point. Thereafter it remained a tale of two special teams, with great UMD goaltending and the 2nd half emergence of UMDs top line. Unions PP was at points abysmal, while UMD again connected in the third on a stunning tictactoe PP goal. UMD plays 4 forwards on the PP and it was THE difference in the game. Very impressive. As the third progressed, UMD gained confidence and speed, and looked to be the better team, especially with the impact of their top line. Union had shots and chances, but few sustained flurries and no unit equal to UMDs 1st. But it took a while for UMD - I thought Union was the stronger team in the first. Overall, Union looked like a typical strong ECAC team - solid and deep but lacking top end guns. 2 strong performances in net.
Yale- AF: Yale dominated in time and zone, but AF hung in there and looked confident by the start of 2nd. At times in the 2nd and 3rd, AF sustained some pressure on Yale, exposing Yale's undersized D and a few clearing errors, but overall action was pushed by Y. AF collapsed well, blocked shot lanes, iced it and prevented flurries despite Yale pushing the play. AF had 5-6 3rd period icings and at least one very lucky and timely glass problem to break Yales mo. Yale must have been pleased with the time of possession but frustrated by AFs discipline and scrappiness - surprisingly few chaotic moments for AF. Yale in particular looked to be having issues with the ice. From 2nd on, AF playing with house money and it showed. Made me think Yale might like playing out West w/o their bandwagon of prying eyes . . . . if they get that far. As for OT, AF brought it big time - had 5-6 chances to end it - Rondo big. Then Yale went the other way and scored on one of their more harmless thrusts of the night.
Net-net, congrats to all 4 goalies. They were all quite good. And too bad we couldn't see UMD and Yale on a decent sheet of ice. Even so, should be fast and fun. A toss up.
Thats my 2c

Re: East Regional - 3/25 and 3/26 - UMD, Yale, Union and Air Force
think yale is going to run circle tomorrow.....just dont see umd being that strong....
also weird thing about the rink is that you cannot get from point A to point B.
if you walk the upper level there is a media room right in the middle.... at the far end is an open area but you werent allowed to use the stairs so you had to go into the seating sectionis and squeeze pass people sitting and try to get there....if u walk the lower level you cannot walk completely around...weird setup and the seats are very close together...not much leg room.......one vendor was selling hotdog for $6 and right across on other side it was $3.....go figure....
