First one's understandable. Last time we scored a goal in the NCAAs, I wasn't even born yet. And we were offsides as well.
You have some explaining to do on the second one, because I don't see how or when a college team would EVER play an NHL team. Not to mention, a national championship is the highest you can go. Where would the disappointment be in that?
There's a big difference between being blinded by short-term success and realizing the big picture. The big picture is that we have been effectively shut out four times, three of which were to potential opponents we would see in the NCAAs. If I thought we had a serious shot at making some noise nationally, you'd hear it. Until then, there's no sense in working ourselves up only to come crashing down even harder.
