Amanda can't believe the BU win - especially the last minute:

... I'm still in shock.

Thanks for the link! I woke up this morning, and, yes, I still can't believe it. I'll have a recap coming up soon.

I thought that the BU-Vermont semi-final game would have been the best game of the Frozen Four unless BU could play Bemidji in the final. I was wrong, Miami(OH) played a lot better than I was expecting. I've always advocated to pull the goalie earlier than you think because you'll need time to setup and take multiple shots (just like any other penalty situation). Parker did it right by pulling Millan with about 3 minutes to go. The first goal was awesome, but the second one with so little time left was AMAZING!

In OT, I was hoping to see more of that BU team and not the one that squandered 30 minutes in the middle of the game with poor passing and no set offense. It was closer to better but still a bit sloppy with a few great saves on both sides of the ice. The shot that ended the game never should have gone in. I felt sick watching it chip and flip its way over the shin of the defender into the far side. Miami's goalie just had no idea what had happened. As a goalie, I can totally relate to that sinking feeling when a goofy richochet causes a goal (let alone decides the national championship). But it's still a goal and that's still a win.

BU should be ecstatic. This was a great season of hockey for my grad school alma mater. Millan played a great season and the rest of the team really crystallized around that. They earned their multiple tournament wins and deserved to be in the final and have every chance at winning it all. I can't wait for the ticker-tape parade on Tuesday!

Now BU hockey fans will be even more insufferable.
