What an exciting thing to have witnessed.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Times New Roman\">And to those complaining about how this affects television ratings, go suck a lemon.\u00a0 Yes, bigger names like Notre Dame and Denver bring in more viewers, which allegedly helps us keep this sport afloat.\u00a0 But after this weekend, I&#8217;m just not buying it.\u00a0 I don&#8217;t think that spotty NCAA regional coverage \u2013 so much depending on local cable providers and the whims of people who don&#8217;t give a fig about college hockey \u2013 does anything for the sport we love, and an eclectic Frozen Four field may have less of a ratings impact than, say, general apathy towards college hockey.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Times New Roman\">As a fan of the CCHA, I was disappointed in the performance of two of the conference&#8217;s four teams.\u00a0 Both Michigan and Notre Dame played flat, emotionless, tentative hockey.\u00a0 Neither team seemed to show up for its game.\u00a0 That, my friends, is the essence of disappointment.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Times New Roman\">Of course, I&#8217;m thrilled that the Miami RedHawks are making their first trip to the Frozen Four \u2013 thrilled that the CCHA has any representation in D.C. at all.\u00a0 And it&#8217;s good for the league to send its fourth different team in three years to the FF.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Times New Roman\">And how about those Buckeyes?\u00a0 Sure, they lost to Boston University 8-3, but they never gave up and they scored two more goals in that game than the Wolverines and Fighting Irish did in their single appearances, combined.\u00a0 What a great experience for a team with three seniors and a junior on its roster. <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Times New Roman\">There is so much good stuff to share from the Midwest Regional that I just couldn&#8217;t write up because of the Saturday-Sunday schedule, but I will get to it all this week.\u00a0 Stay tuned.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My head is still spinning from the two days in Grand Rapids that changed the history of college hockey.\u00a0 A hearty congratulations to the Bemidji State Beavers, who earned every bit of their trip to the Frozen Four.\u00a0 What a great thing for that program, the incredible people associated with it and for college hockey.
