That's how it would go in any hockey game. They don't just stop play because they need a review. They have to wait for a whistle. If Air Force had scored, it would have been no different, but obviously that much more painful for them. I've seen it before, but never in a situation like this one. Of course, given everything that has happened in this tourney, I'm surprised that the first whistle wasn't a result of an Air Force goal. That would've fit right in with all the other craziness.

You'll appreciate this. Ok, maybe not 2/3rds of it. But wow, that is amazing. All 3 from the same conference and two from the same school? Unreal. I'm pulling for Gilroy. What an incredible story he has been. Bullpen, I wanted Air Force to win too, but that was no screw job.

"Screw BU, BU suck!" It just doesn't have that same ring to it.

I forgot to listen to it last year in NYC. What do they say when they actually play BU?

Only one team in that frozen four didn't fly under the radar. This has been, by far, the craziest tournament the NCAA has ever seen. Sure, Holy Cross over Minnesota was one thing, but this one was full of upsets and insanity: -Two 4 seeds playing each other in the semis -8 goals scored in the last minute of a game or OT -Three 1 seeds falling in the first round -UMD score 2 in the last 40 seconds and then wins in OT over Princeton -UNH scores with 0.1 seconds left to force OT with North Dakota, winning it 45 seconds in -Vermont scoring a goal in 2OT against Air Force, but no one realizing it until a review 10 minutes later This tournament blows away the basketball tourney. Now if only ESPN could get their heads out of their asses and make it more readily available to the public, instead of burying it on ESPNU. Us college hockey fans don't ask for much. We can live with ESPN2. I was fortunate enough to be there for the BU-North Dakota-UNH-Ohio State regional, so I saw some incredible hockey. Thanks to ESPN though, most people missed out on most of what I listed above, plus so much more. Anyway, I'm there for DC. This will be my 4th frozen four and they're always a great time. This is my superbowl.

You just know that Renee's first thought was whether or not the bioweapon is sexually transmitted.

I'm sure it wasn't his intention, but reading that story now, it almost looks like a "there's nothing I can do, you have to do it yourself" type comment. It probably wasn't, but hey, it appears to have worked out pretty well.

This tournament will be remembered for a very long time.

Well there's your problem right there.

Why not go back a little further. What exactly did Jim Kelly accomplish after leaving the Bills? He never started a game again, let alone make it to the playoffs.

Did the kid write that article too? I have a hard time believing that anyone over the age of 16 could've written something that was basically unreadable.

Those temporary respiratory symptoms are called "holding your breath too long while trying to seal of the leak in the biochemicial weapon tank".

The bioweapon was created and tested by some rogue African wannabe dictator on the run. It'll probably end up being the flu or something. But anyway, didn't Jack at some point in the last episode mention something about seeing a whole town stricken with dimentia thanks to Juma's testing? That could lead to a very strange 8th and final season next year for Jack.

He's got the super AIDS.

Well at least we won't have to worry about the team blowing a 4-0 start this year.

Immediately after the game ended, this BC guy in front of me storms out whining "we never win here!". Where has this kid been? I guess those last two HE championships slipped his mind. Anyway, those 44 seconds are exactly why it has been so fun to be a BU fan this year (and really, for the first time in 10+ years). And on to Cornell. They may have drawn one of the worst matchups for them. Being as offensively challenged as that team is, Thiessen could give them fits. He's right up there in the top 2-3 goalies in the nation. But then again, Northeastern has been struggling lately.

I think you can take "probably" out of that sentence. I can't come up with anything that would bump them out of that 2 seed if they win. All the teams just below them in the PWR are already done.

Denzel Washington #1? He's done a lot of good stuff, but that doesn't seem right to me.

Be careful Bruce Vilanch!

I know I wanted the deathbed "dumbass" from Red.

I've never really thought about it by network, but here we go: NBC: My Name is Earl, The Office, 30 Rock, the occasional episode of Law & Order and SVU ABC: Scrubs CBS: only Letterman, but rarely FOX: 24, the Simpsons, House Anything else is from random cable channels (especially Monk and Psych, like sullim mentioned). I've always been amazed that CBS gets the most viewers since I can't remember watching a single show on that channel other than Letterman or football over the past 15 years. It looks like I watch more shows from NBC than any of the other networks, more proof to the fact that people in this country have no idea what they're doing.

Well this year's seniors were freshmen back then, so maybe that will be in the back of their minds somewhere.

This post brings back happy memories of UNO's last NCAA appearance. The next day wasn't so happy though. I hate you BC Bills Fan.

Yeah, I know the history, but it's funny to see how the ECAC history has essentially disappeared for all the teams that left for the forming of Hockey East. I don't know why, but I tend to hear "Clarkson too" from the fans more often than any version, even though they change it for whoever that night's opponent is. I wish I could remember what they said last year at MSG when they actually played BU. I bet a lot of somewhat drunk college kids who have no idea why they actually chant it were very confused as to what to say that night.

I'm so sick of the word "sucks" being used in ever single college hockey chant. It's so played out and uncreative. I'd even go as far as to say that the majority of the chants are anti-opposing team instead of being pro-home team. I've never understood that. But anyway, I do get a good laugh out of the fact that Cornell still mentions BU even though they really haven't played us all that much in a long time (Red Hot Hockey 2 at MSG this year though ).
