I went .500 in my picks for the semifinals. I will take that.
\nTonight, we know that a national champion from the ECAC will be crowned and I am happy for that league, its members, its teams.
\nTonight, we also know that hearts will be broken. The older I get and the longer I cover this sport, the more aware I am of how much the loss affects the young men of the national runner-up team.
\nIn the long term, we all know the good an appearance in the Frozen Four can be for the future of a hockey program, even for the three teams that go home without a trophy.<\/p>\n

\nYou know that old adage that speed kills? That’s what I’m thinking.
