Only one team in that frozen four didn't fly under the radar. This has been, by far, the craziest tournament the NCAA has ever seen. Sure, Holy Cross over Minnesota was one thing, but this one was full of upsets and insanity:
-Two 4 seeds playing each other in the semis
-8 goals scored in the last minute of a game or OT
-Three 1 seeds falling in the first round
-UMD score 2 in the last 40 seconds and then wins in OT over Princeton
-UNH scores with 0.1 seconds left to force OT with North Dakota, winning it 45 seconds in
-Vermont scoring a goal in 2OT against Air Force, but no one realizing it until a review 10 minutes later
This tournament blows away the basketball tourney. Now if only ESPN could get their heads out of their asses and make it more readily available to the public, instead of burying it on ESPNU. Us college hockey fans don't ask for much. We can live with ESPN2. I was fortunate enough to be there for the BU-North Dakota-UNH-Ohio State regional, so I saw some incredible hockey. Thanks to ESPN though, most people missed out on most of what I listed above, plus so much more.
Anyway, I'm there for DC. This will be my 4th frozen four and they're always a great time. This is my superbowl.
