Well, without the Gofer win against Cornell there wouldn't have been a Frozen Four semi between the Sioux and Minny...and I'm always in for a 4-2 win against the Rodents.
Notre Dame got into Hockey East and immediately started whining about all the travel. Guess what, most of the Hockey East Teams are nowhere near South Bend, Indiana. Maybe somebody should have looked at a f*cking map first.
The guy is f*cking embarassing with his east coast bias and lack of any hockey knowledge. It's like ESPN had their worst announcers draw straws to see who got stuck with college hockey and he won. Sucks that ESPN has anything to do with the Frozen Four.
The 3 point game is totally different than what most grew up watching. Also, the physicality of the league has changed immensely. What was once considered a common/hard foul is now often reviewed for being flagrant. While today's players are much more skilled (shooting) they are not necessarily better players than their predecessors. The thing that drives me crazy is the constant switching of pivot feet and extra steps to the rim with travelling rarely called. It's just a different game.
Go behind the ATO house and cross the street to the east. Was there in the mid-eighties. It was kind of like walking into somebody's basement apartment. Edit: Ah, I see Mr Burd has beaten me to the punch.
