The Madness continues....


Wow, another day of great games. First and foremost, Notre Dame's hockey team has won both the regular season and tournament in the CCHA. They beat Michigan 5-2, scoring 5 consecutive times. Way to go, boys! Now it's off to the NCAA's. Go Irish!

As happened yesterday, the NCAA saved the most dramatic "Big Dance" games for last. The 'Zags and Duke win in fine fashion. At least the games didn't go past midnight tonight. After watching yesterday's games, I was still wide awake at 2 AM.

There is one down note to report. The Lewiston Maineiacs lost their second straight playoff game to Drummondville. Tonight's score -- 10 to 1. That means that the Maineiacs have been outscored 22 to 3 in two games. Wow, that has to be some sort of a playoff record for Junior hockey or at least the Q. That doesn't bode well for Tuesday and Wednesday. There won't be much of a crowd at the games, especially since a lot of people are still miffed at Lewiston's management. They'll have some pretty big fences to mend if they intend to come back to Lewiston next year.
