Yes, the WCHA has won every NCAA title. Harvard did win the 1999 National Championship before the NCAA sponsored the sport.

Re: National Semifinal: Cornell vs. Mercyhurst
Congrats to Cornell. For all but one period (the second) they outplayed Mercyhurst and shutdown the two scoring lines. I had this game very wrong, as I never imagined Cornell outshooting the Lakers. Now go beat UMD and bring a title east.

Re: National Semifinal: Cornell vs. Mercyhurst
Prior to the game, a lot of the pro-Mercyhurst comments on this board pointed to the Lakers' speed being the difference in the game. Watching as a neutral party, what I saw was that Cornell was not having any difficulty keeping up.
Then, when their speed was negated, the Lakers tried to get physically aggressive. They did bang the Big Red around quite a bit. But it was clear to me that Mercyhurst wasn't used to playing in that matter, and they let their defense slip a bit.

Re: National Semifinal: Cornell vs. Mercyhurst
I really believe that it was beneficial to EVERYONE that the WCHA officials worked the physical game. Who knows how the penalty count would have looked had it been officials from a conference with less physical play.

Re: National Semifinal: Cornell vs. Mercyhurst
As mentioned when Hux posted the game winning goal shots, my shot was blocked by the referee skating in the way.. wish I were the guy shooting right behind the net, if he got something good.
The one shot I got was a frame before the ref got in the way
This is a couple frames later, with him still there
The rest I have from Cornell/Mercyhurst

Re: National Semifinal: Cornell vs. Mercyhurst
It was a great game to watch. Cornell did a nice job in disrupting Mercyhurst's usual pattern of play. I was not sure how that one was going to end.

All I can still say is:
Here are some quotes from today's press conference for both UMD and Cornell...http://www.gophersports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=38864&SPID=3323&DB_OEM_ID=8400&ATCLID=204912513

Check out their penalty minutes on the season; I'd guess MC is plenty used to banging their opponents around.
Even the "

But meanwhile, LOL, I think this particular quote deserves a little explanation. Especially from such a reputable poster....before I neg rep you, LOL, what does this mean?
Congrats to Cornell for doing an excellent job jamming the $#!T out of 'Hurst's play. Tip of the hat to 'em! I agree with LakersFan, go beat the Bulldogs and bring the title East!So happy for Cornell.
Mercy'curst cheaters goes home with no title again!

Re: National Semifinal: Cornell vs. Mercyhurst
Well lets just say their admissions could use some investigating. How they manage to sneak some of these ladies past the Clearinghouse after other schools (or the vast majority in the case of Agosta) are unsuccessful continues to amaze me. There's more story but I wont get into it here, e-mail me if you want to know.
It also annoys me more each year the way their fans continue to rave over their support (634 average in a 1300 seat building?) and how their schedule is the toughest around (9th? and you play in the CHA, real tough). Then they have they gaul to complain about how they don't get any respect when they win the CHA that up until the past few seasons has been a rather gravy road compared to the competition in the other three conferences.
Sure it was good for the game when they first made the tournament. But now that they are a repeat visitor in the field, the underdog title has worn off except for how they choke each year when it really counts. It's like they want to be put up on a higher level, as if they are a repeat National Champion, except they play a weak conference schedule and have yet to win any championship that matters.
Maybe someday that feeling will change but for now they are the one team I can honestly say I hate more than Duluth.
ok, End of Rant!

I kind of considered you a far more objective and reputable poster, but I guess now I know better. Live and learn!

MC will hopefully learn from this game. To much selfish and individual play played right into Cornells great team play that had 2 and sometimes 3 players on the puck in their own end. A little direction and control of a number of egos may send this team back to the finals next season
