What is much more uneven is the advantages a #4 seed gets by playing its regional (that it didn't even host!) a few miles from campus.

On the broadcast today, they said Providence playerswere back on campus getting medical treatments in their facility while Cornell players had a 3 hr power outage in their hotel.


Yep - and it's not that big a deal unless ...

the late game requires more than 60 minutes of hockey. Which is why you try to avoid that result.


We would have been gassed after 60 minutes too

Rather than have someone say Team X went to OT for a night game and killed team Y the next day.

We weren’t a little bit more tired than UMass, we were dead men skating.
