Last year our upper level seats were right where the air handlers dumped their output. Everybody in our vicinity was bundled up in hats and gloves.
Maybe they had the air cranked up in anticipation of all the local fans who never showed up.

Wasn't that proven to be false?
Even if the air-handlers were switched on and off depending on who was at bat, there was no assistance/resistance by the system?

Re: West Regional: #1 Wisconsin vs. #4 Vermont, #2 St. Cloud vs. #3 Northern Michigan
Well, well, well, lookee how it all turned out over the past weekend! Let me just highlight some of the events:
1. Wisconsin dope slaps the wholly un-bid-worthy Catamounts of the University of Vermont - AS PREDICTED herein!
2. Both Boston College and UNH continued the long tradition of Hockey East dominance over the ECAC entrants (Yale and Cornell) further supporting MY LONG HELD CONTENTION as stated herein that the NCAA should no longer under any circumstances consider the ECAC to be on par with the WCHA, CCHA, and Hockey East!
...and last but certainly not least
3. Lil ole Rochester Institute of Technology from the oh so lowly Atantic Hockey Association beats Denver, the No. 2 ranked team in the country, and then trounces the Hockey East regular season champion the Wildcats of the University of New Hampshire.
Now I put it you all, who was the only one, I repeat, THE ONLY ONE of all the posters on this thread who showed the AHA any love? That's right lil ole me! I was the only one who touted the notion that the AHA should NOT be relegated to third class status with the NCAA begrudingly granting the conference one bid!
It is all about seeing all the teams play so the next time you inbred mopes from the corn-pone states want to pop off about teams that you have never seen play best to think twice then keep your collective redneck, jerkwater, livin'-in-the-trailer-park pieholes shut!
Vindication is such a beautiful thing!

Oops, thought the joking nature of the post was relatively evident.

Re: West Regional: #1 Wisconsin vs. #4 Vermont, #2 St. Cloud vs. #3 Northern Michigan
Well, based on RIT's performance this year and Air Force's performance last year I would submit that under my proposed bid process that YES three bids to the AHA would be more than fair.
...and I would take the AHA's top three finishers, RIT, Air Force, and Sacred Heart, over Cornell, Yale, Union, and all other ECAC fraud teams any day!
It hurts me to say the foregoing as a loyal Cornellian, but facts are facts and Cornell's dreadful showing againt UNH and Yale using all three goalies and still giving up nine goals to BC only shows that the ECAC is BY FAR the weakest conference in Division I. If the current bid process is to continue, it's time to relegate the ECAC to but one bid!
Oh and one last thing. Nice job by the Sioux on Saturday getting dope slapped by Yale. Fighting Sioux fans the world over should hang their heads in shame!

UW's 3-2 win was hardly a "dope slap" of Vermont.
I was sweating it out until the horn sounded.

did you actually watch the UW Vermont game? it was not even close to a dope slap. A dope slap will be the hurt UW puts on RIT.

Anybody can pull an upset prediction out of their *** in the playoffs and then crow about it if they are right. Noone pays attention if you are wrong. They just think you are a lunatic. College hockey is a game of emotion. There will always be upsets in a format like this. Denver was ripe for this. They were lethargic in the WCHA FF. And, with all due respect UNH was not a good team with a history of choking in the NCAA - remember Niagara?
I have no disrespect for RIT at all. I'm actually happy for them winning as an underdog. However it doesn't surprise me. It's a school with a long tradition of hockey and success. They have good fan support and it's a great school. Why not have success?
But, during the course of the season (correct me if I'm wrong) but they did not win a non-conference game. The got beat by St. Larry, Colgate and Clarkson and got whipped by MSU-Mankato. They only scored 1 goal in that series.
I don't think they had a player under 20 on their roster. That's a big factor in a 1 and out tourney. They came out of the woods with some older experienced kids and got it done at the right time. That's it. If you think they'll beat Wisconsin you are crazy. Wisco won't take them lightly and end the cinderella run.
It just ain't gonna happen. Are you predicting they WILL defeat Wisco? An then MIAMI?

It's true. I picked Holy Cross over Minnesota in my pool in 2006. Pulled that one right out of my ***. I guess that's why people were calling me a smart ***.

Re: West Regional: #1 Wisconsin vs. #4 Vermont, #2 St. Cloud vs. #3 Northern Michigan
Let's take the last part first shall we? You already have Miami beating Boston College? That is to laugh. Didn't you see the way that other Boston team corn-holed the mighty Redhawks last year? History has a way of repeating itself mope. Let's just wait until the 8th of April, shall we?
...and but for an inadvertent whistle by Hockey East's own John Gravellese it would be Michigan going to the final four not the Redhawks!
As for Wisconsin, their performance against Vermont left a lot to be desired. I mean we are talking about a Vermont team that finished eighth in Hockey East and could not beat either Merrimack of UMass-Lowell. Perhaps you should await Wisconsin beating a team with some actual talent (like say from Hockey East) then pop off.
Now, as for RIT I am going to assume that you are, as so stated in your post, from California. As such, it is unlikely that you saw but one AHA game this past year. I NEVER predicted an RIT trip to the final four. What I posted was that the AHA (and the now defunct) CHA should not be relegated to second class status by the NCAA selection committee. BASED ON MY IN PERSON FIRST HAND OBSERVATION of a number of teams from the AHA I have stated that the better teams in the AHA are playing a brand of hockey as good as any other team in any other conference and the NCAA should finally wake up and recognize this. It is not just Niagra over UNH. It is that plus Holy Cross over Minnesota, Air Force over Michigan, RIT over Denver and UNH, and (by extension) Bemidji State over Cornell and Notre Dame. Let's bring some equity to the bid process so that fraud teams LIKE VERMONT are not rewarded with a bid!
...and spare us all mope RIT's out of conference performance. If that is your argument then why not check the ECAC's out of conference record especially against Hockey East teams. I do not know the exact numbers, but I know from actually attending games that Hockey East has its way every time with the frauds from the ECAC. Just look at this past weekend. The two entrants from the ECAC were summarily dispatched by Hockey East teams AS PER USUAL while the lil ole AHA entrant is on its way the final four.

I did watch the game and it was painful to see the alleged mighty, mighty Badgers struggle against a team that had to punch, claw, and scratch its way out of NINTH place just to make it into the Hockey East Tournament.
I know nothing of St. Cloud State (for I have never seen them in person this year) so I cannot comment on Wisconsin's performance against that team. I have, however, seen the very sad Catamounts play and for Wisconsin to struggle against such a poor opponent does not bode well for Wisconsin's championship ambitions!

Re: West Regional: #1 Wisconsin vs. #4 Vermont, #2 St. Cloud vs. #3 Northern Michigan
Just a couple of suggestions:
Relative to your quote might I suggest the following changes:
If you can't laugh at yourself, don't laugh at anyone else. So you better learn to laugh at yourself because there are [TOO] many people [AT WHICH] to laugh.
You want to use the adverb "too" which denotes excess as opposed to the adverb "to" which in its adverb form denotes physical application or attachment.
In addition, you may want to consider changing the last part of the quote from "too many people to laugh at..." to "too many people at which to laugh". While "at" is both a preposition and noun, from a stylistic standpoint you are best never to end a statement with a preposition and/or a preposition that also serves as a noun.

IMO, the Badgers greatly underestimated UV and thats why the game was so close. In the case of SCSU, the Badgers knew they would have to play smart and play hard to win; which is why the performance on Saturday was better.
Wrong. Vermont made a game of it. The Vermont/Wisconsin game was a much tighter game than was the UW/SCSU game.

I think that this year's regional results have proven that everyone who made it, with maybe the exception of Cornell, deserved to be there. Even UAH played a close game.

Agreed 100%. I think that he just likes to hear himself talk (I know he is typing and then probably re-reading what he typed. I just assume he does it out loud to himself because he seems like that kind of tool.)
I had a great time this weekend. Vermont fans were nice (except one *** behind their bench.) I enjoyed NMU fans as well and there was some fun banter back and forth with SCSU.
If players stay around for SCSU I really fear how good they are going to be next year...especially with Lee getting valuable experience this year (he is the freshman..right?)
I do not know how many people I heard asking (and subsequently informing) who RIT even was... . Talk about coming out of nowhere (I guess at least to the common college hockey fan).

Typical.
Typical midwest ignorance.
RIT (or the Rochester Institute of Technology for those of you out there in the square states) has been a hockey powerhouse for years both at the Division III and Division I level. Perhaps if you and the rest of the corn-pone spent a little less time bowling and attempted to expand your limited and myopic view of the world you would have seen the RIT train coming. As it is, it is bad enough that we here in the east have to acknowledge you ignorant mopes as our fellow citizens.
Why don't you all out there in the square states do us here in the east a huge favor and secede to Canada. Trust me, no one will miss you.
