Horrible effort from Dartmouth's Hobey contender coming back on that one.
Either that, or he's just really slow.

he seemed disinterested.

Next year ESPN get someone that is not these two to call games.

Heard more about how many championships Geno Auriemma has won with UCONN women’s basketball than relevant !@#$ about the game.  We’re talking about WOMENs bounceyball.  Get these morons out of here.

I have to imagine CJ Foley leaves Dartmouth and signs a contract. I don't see him sticking around for his senior year

Is there a time for puck drop?

[cberkas]

Now ESPN gets someone who knows college hockey better than the Ohio State guy.

[cowboys5xsbs]

Puck drop 7:55?

[franchise]

36 mins

[MafiaMan]

The anticipation is killing me!

[cberkas]

Colby, ESPN doesn't even have 4 broadcast crews to call these games. They definitely don't have 8 unless they get the best ones in the NCHC.

Three HEA teams down on Day One.
What a bad season for that whole conference.

Big10 guaranteed one team in the F4.

[The Sicatoka]

Any of these games on SiriusXM? I have some windshield time tomorrow.

57th SOS Dartmouth finally getting exposed

Think some people were overthinking that game. Told my buddy in AZ to hammer the Wisconsin puckline. 

Wisconsin had some down games this year but I think some people forgot they also beat Michigan and Michigan state pretty handily in games this year.

ESPN should've just contracted to Midco to broadcast these games on their behalf on ESPN. I wouldn't doubt that they contracted either individuals or a cheaper company to run the camera wires and other equipment for them. CBSSports used to use alot of existing setup for their broadcast from the Ralph, they would swap some cameras but think they used existing wiring etc. Believe the Summit League does as well with Midco broadcasting the games prior to championships.

Got to put Penn State late

ESPN Boss: "What game should we put on ESPN/ESPN 2?"

ESPN NCAA Hockey: "Penn State/Duluth the others on ESPNU and ESPN+. People care about women's basketball now"

Quick internet search result:  

The ratings difference between WBB and hockey — let alone college hockey — is staggering. Just looking at the championship games: the Women’s NCAA Basketball title drew 8 million viewers, while the NCAA men’s hockey championship barely cracked 800,000.
