Having PVR'd the Michigan vs Minny final and watching it yesterday, I think I watched an unbelievable preview of the National Championship with Michigan taking the Big 10 Championship 4-3. High entertainment start to finish. Exceptional hockey.

Harvard draws Ohio State. Turn off the national rankings. The Big 10 is a whole other level of hockey beyond the other conferences. Harvard is in tough.

Border town means I have the Big 10 and NHCH channels. I've streamed other conferences.

Here's my own personal opinion of Harvard:

Play conservatively

Fall behind

Sean Farrell tries to be Mario Lemieux and fails

Lose big games

If you like exciting hockey, this tourney's for you.

They don't make CDN viewing easy. TSN+ or stream, lest you have ESPN.

Cornell(10) keeps the underdog train rolling, taking out last year's champ Denver(3). St. Cloud(7) keeps not letting the other team score, but now they have Minny(1) and that's not going to end well. MacAllister's W.Michigan(9) fell apart to end their season and it continued, falling 5-1 to BU(5).

Well jfc Mich Tech, you're just not gonna wake up for this game are you? Down 3-0 and just can't get going to Penn State's pace. I get that Michigan will slaughter both of you, but damn, show up.

Tomorrow and Sunday games will be great hockey when this thing becomes 8 teams.
