Way to go West! Too bad SNC had to win an extra game to get to the final. Too bad all the folks out East don't get a chance to see the other top Western teams play.
Maybe the West is gaining a lot of ground on the Eastern teams. It appears that way anyway.

Your western team just had a great win against a very good Norwich team. Why do you continue to whine? By the way, That was a good game SNC, you really proved yourself this afternoon.
Cause you guys shot the GOALIE into the net!!!!
Any pre-championship game stuff for SNC and it's fans in Lake Placid like in years past?A couple of notes...
* - St. Norbert's sixth national title game appearance is second to Middlebury's 10.
* - St. Norbert has made the title game in each of the last five even-numbered years, including 2011.
* - St. Norbert's win over the No. 1-ranked Cadets is the first time SNC hockey has ever beaten the No. 1 team in the USCHO Poll. The Green Knights were 0-4 previously.
* - St. Norbert has now won 12 of its last 13 NCAA Tournament games, including a current winning streak of 6.

I agree. SNC is a very, very good western team. There just isn't as many very good teams in the west this year. Just who was going to be forced to a play-in game that wasn't??? Norwich, Oswego, Amherst or Plattsburgh? Certainly not according to the numbers. There isn't as many teams period, for that matter. Enjoy the big-time victory over a super team. Penalties did in the Cadets, no flow to their game today. SNC plays a tough, defensive style that frustrated the normally high flying Cadets.
I was asking about tomorrow mainly. Last trip to LP St Norbert had some sort of get together prior to game time. Due to terrible travel yesterday, I'm not as worried about celebrating tonight...And you're right, work isn't doneI'm guessing zigzags for awhile then early to bed. The fans need to be rested to make noise tomorrow. The work isn't done.
I have Eastern Homer Bias, but alas, my call:
St Norbert 3 - Norwich 1
