Game Day Material

The day of the regionals is here and it's fitting that the Springs is frosted with freezing rain from over-night. I can't remember the last time there was freezing rain like this. BUT, it was 70+ degrees earlier this week so it's no surprise, gotta love spring in CO. If you are just trying to survive work and get to tonight fear not, there are plenty of links to read. Some have interesting thoughts about the tournament (like Clarkson reaching Denver), most are east coast bias like usual. My poll looks like it's shaping up how I figured it would with CC, Michigan and North Dakota handily owning their regionals and the North East regional a complete toss-up. It's too bad the games aren't on normal TV. ESPN has pulled an NFL Network move and put all the regionals on ESPNU, a channel most standard cable subscribers don't get. Stupid, but I can't do anything about it.
I'll be at both games tonight so the blog won't be updated until near midnight or Saturday morning, but I'll have plenty of pics from both games. GO TIGERS!!!

CC Athletics looks at the Tigers and their battle with Michigan State tonight

The local coverage of the West Regionals and the teams

USCHO has regional previews as well as "more coverage" aka east coast bias

INCH features Air Force on the homepage and offers more informed regional previews

ESNPU has some writers that have randomly decided to cover college hockey starting today and have some odd "expert" predictions, aka "who's everyone else picking"

College Hockey News has enough goodies to waste the rest of the afternoon

The Gazette does their best to look like they actually care
