Re: Irish hockey '10-11-Everyone bets on a sure thing, but it takes guts not to fold.
Congratulations to the University of Notre Dame on taking the Northeast Regional in Manchester, NH this weekend. All three games were "edge of your seat" exciting. Seemed like the Irish apllied a little "rope-a-dope" strategy against Merrimack on Saturday, but they stood tall, took Merrimack's best shots, and came out the victor. I admit I shed a lil tear (figuratively speaking) at Merrimack's defeat, but if they had to lose to anyone best they lose to the eventual winner of the region!
As for the UNH game, THAT WAS IMPRESSIVE! UNH had it all going for them. UNH played the early game on Saturday so they were well rested, Notre Dame had to play into overtime against tough opponent, and UNH essentially had the home ice advantage. I guess they did not figure that Notre Dame would come out with a stellar overall performance (especially from their goalie)!
So, GO IRISH and please, please, please bring that championship back to South Bend!
