Frozen Four Finale
Michigan saw itself winning the Frozen Four pretty easily, it seems. And they were justified-- the team is loaded with seven first-round NHL draft picks and several members of the US Olympic Team. But they lost in overtime to Denver-- you can see the winning goal above, where a Denver player wanders into the slot without anyone noticing, and then picking up the rebound unmolested. The Michigan defenseman put much more effort into breaking his stick after the goal than he did in the moment before, defending the slot.
[Side note: I am a Michigan fan for everything but hockey. If their team were to lose all their games next year and then get demoted to D-II, I'd be fine with that. Although I don't think that's how it works]
Tonight's final will feature Denver vs. Minnesota State-Mankato. The Denver team is mostly Canadians (roster here), while Mankato is full of Minnesota kids.
Meanwhile... what happened to all those teams from the East? Hmmm.....

Alas … apparently, they are working the concession stands at the Garden this weekend!

Eh, that will be a good change of pace for those Harvard guys.
Seriously, though, it was kind of weird. The field of 16 started out with Quinnipiac, American International (which is in Springfield MA), Northeastern, UMass, UMass-Lowell, and Harvard. That's five teams-- almost a third of the field-- from Massachusetts!
