[Mr Tony]

Ice: could you please edit the Northeast Regional Final. I neglected to type ESPNU as the broadcaster.

fixed

Anyone dare to predict the Frozen Four at this time? Although I will be dutifully cheering for Michigan, they are going to need a few breaks in order to make it to the Finals. I like Yale and North Dakota...but I get the feeling this is going to be a very competitive tournament.

 

[Mr Tony]

I've got (from another bracket)
brain says
BC, NoDak, Yale, New Hampshire

heart says
UMD, NoDak, Omaha, New Hampshire (yes I'm a WCHA fan

 

[Mr Tony]

(3) Nebraska-Omaha vs. (2) Michigan- 5:30pm ET (ESPN3.com) AND FSN DETROIT

guide doesnt show it on FSN Detroit and may not be able to. Pistons game is at 7:00 EDT. NCAAIceHockey twitter says FSN Detroit

It does show on Altitude so can use that as a backup

Does anyone know if any of the games are going to be on XM?

My picks for today's games:

Minnesota-Duluth over Union
Michigan over Nebraska-Omaha
Yale over Air Force
Boston College over Colorado College

I'm still not too keep on having to watch Michigan play Nebraska-Omaha on ESPN3.COM, but at least I can output the laptop to one of the TVs.

 

[Mr Tony]

Yale over Air Force (this might get ugly)
BC over CC
Omaha over Michigan (sorry rifjim)
and hmmmm......lemme see

I guess I can take UMD over Union

 

[Mr Tony]

The Michigan/Omaha game is on Altitude too....do you not get that?

 

[riffjim4069]

Good game going on between UMD and Union right now. I've seen about 1/3rd of the game, so far, and the goalie for UMD has been the star.

 

[riffjim4069]

The Michigan/Omaha game is on Altitude too....do you not get that?

Nope...it's not in the channel lineup. On a positive note, my wife volunteered to host a Girl Scout meeting since their school is closed today due to a teacher's work day, so I get to lock myself and the dogs in the bedroom to watch the game. Anyway, I think that I watched another live sporting event on ESPN3.com last year...and it stuck. Let's hope the quality of their streaming video has improved over the past year.

UMD leads 1-0 after 2

 

[riffjim4069]

On a side note, the Norwich women's hockey team won the Division III National Championship with a 5-2 win over Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) last weekend. This was extremely gratifying since they were able make-up for a 7-2 loss in the Championship game to Amherst last year. Also, the Norwich men's team plays in the D-III NCAA Semifinals this evening against St. Norbert (8pm at Ridder Arena in Minneapolis). I got to see both teams plays in Vermont this winter and has a great time. Go Cadets!

End of 1st: Nebraska-Omaha 2, Michigan 0

 

[riffjim4069]

Union played a good game, but the hot goaltender wins it for UMD: 2-0. Michigan has come back to score a goal in the opening minutes of the 2nd, and rattle one of the post a minute later. 2-1 NO with 15-minute to play in the 2nd.

 

[riffjim4069]

Michigan ties it up 2-2 with 10-minutes to play in the 2nd. They are playing much, much better this period...I'll betcha Red wasn't any too happy during intermission.

Two periods in which the teams played polar opposites. The 3rd period should be interesting...very interesting.

 

[Mr Tony]

UMD 2-0

Gotta love the commentators
"oh Union PP is #1 in the nation....what will UMD do to counter?"
"Can UMD stop the #1 PP team in the nation"

blah blah blah

yeah we did

Funny to hear Clay Matvick )the pxp guy) do the games and 2 weeks ago he did the Minnesota High School Tourney games on local (Minneapolis) TV

 

[riffjim4069]

Michigan wins 3-2 in OT. Holy crap...it took them seven (7) minutes to review that goal.

 

[Mr Tony]

I thought it was over 10

Heartbreaking loss for Omaha

 

[riffjim4069]

Air Force is tied-up with Yale at one a piece with just over 10-minutes left to play in the 3rd.
