NCAA Hockey Tournament Open Thread
That was a bullshit review in the Minn st game. Forward pushed the dman into goalie.
Now stuck at home with no tv thanks to billing fuckup.
The contact was far enough away from the net that the defenseman had a chance to stop himself and basically did. It wasn't one of those situations where the defenseman ran into the goalie by trucking the defenseman into him. Tough call, but I think they got it right
The fact it was ruled no goal on the ice and overturned was bullshit. If you make that call live I'm ok with it but the way it was handled in that situation was just weong
It was handled correctly. You make the right call whether it was called on the ice or not.
There is no way I agree there was conclusive evidence that defenseman wasn't forced into his goalie.
Well Bob MacKenzie has seen a lot of hockey and he agreed. You make the right call not the call from the ice.
That RIT-Minnesota State game was awesome and Miami getting torched by Providence in Providence isn't terribly surprising. Miami's always been a soft tournament team and they got a rough draw this year.
Miami pulled their goalie w 13 mins left. Not sure ive seen a team go so early before

Now 6-3 Providence.
So should we steal from Miami or Michigan Tech?
Not only may you be drunk, but you may be in the wrong thread!
At least you didn't OP this:
but there was a HUGE upset as #16 seed of lowly Atlantic Hockey #1 overall seed Minnesota State 2-1....
...which I figured out after googling 'ncaa hocky tournament upset'. Nice work RPI!
RIT***
who is drunk now?
Miami made this a game. Pulled their goalie at 12:48 and have gotten 2 extra attacker goals now
6-4 with 5:30 to go
That's the hockey version of 'never punt'
6-5. Providence has collapsed.
Providence with the ENG.

Harvard (down 2-1 to UNO) is one of the stranger teams I can remeber. Ranked either 1 or 2 in the country at new years, absolute trash for two months running themselves all the way out of the tournament, go on a run and win the ECAC tournament.
Edit: Harvard took an idiotic offensive zone boarding with 2:30 left, so without a shortie, it's all but over.

This has been a great weekend. If people love the raw excitment and upsets of the basketball tourney, they should be all over the NCAA hockey tournament. And I think there would be even more casual college hockey fans if they tuned in and saw a loaded arena because teams were allowed to host regionals instead of a quarter filled arena where no home teams are playing. There have been two well-attended regionals - Providence and Fargo. There have been two awful regionals in attendance - Manchester and South Bend. Not a surprise considering two had a "home" team in their regional and the others didn't. Easy fix.

So proud of my alma mater, which has had another great appearance in the NCAA tournament. I was a freshman when RIT made the Frozen Four in 2010 and the atmosphere on campus and in Rochester was electric.
Hockey is the only Division I sport at RIT and in Rochester, so there is a strong following of current students and alumni. It was great watching the game today and hearing the band and Corner Crew.
I think Atlantic Hockey has been steadily improving over the years. It's not on par with the other conferences by any means, but the teams are becoming more competitive.
Such a great day of hockey. Wish they'd play the Frozen Four next weekend instead of having a week off in between. Play Friday and Sunday.
