Your restraint in not leveling the guy is admirable.

From my wrapup post on the Quarterfinal thread......

What an awesome experience. 1-1 tie, broken at the 8 minute mark on a very pretty shorthanded goal for Wisco. Empty netter seals the deal, but Mercyhurst posed a very strong challenge.

Official attendance was 2946, including maybe, I mean may.....be......... 35 of us Mercyhurst fans. This cowboy has no voice left from trying to chant "we can't hear you" and other fun loving chants to try to carry a little weight against the very big red crowd.

Hurst had plenty of chances.... nearly finished a 2-1 in the early minutes, hit a cross bar a few minutes later, loose pucks in the crease all night long. Impressed with the Wisco first line.....good speed, seemed to dominate when they had possession.

Not impressed with Hilary Knight, or with the remaining lines. Not impressed with Rigsby. If BC can match up with Wisco's first line and shut them down, I like their chances.

Not at all impresed with the general intellgence (or lack thereof) by the fan base. I can't believe how many times I got asked where Mercyhurst was from, or what state Erie is in. Do they teach geography in Wisco public schools? Seriously, bunch of backwoods ignorant hicks who happen to have some good sports programs to root for.

Anyway, a fun experience and I'm glad I came.

LET'S GO EAGLES!!!!!!!

Serious question -- who was the SLU player who got lit up by (I think) Walsh in the 1st period?

TTT: I didn't see that as a hit at all. They were close to the boards on my side of the ice so I didn't have the same view you did however, I thought Walsh stopped to "tag up" and the player crashed into her. I'd like to see it again but from a better view. At the time, I did not believe it to be a penalty, but what do I know? I might add, I'm glad it happened, it led to a SH Goal!
