Groups:
3pts to the logical ones.
2pts to the Adrian pickers (and norm, with a lack of faith in Elmira)
1pt to Logger.

Sound about right?

And I meant to say lack of faith in Elmira for norm, fixing that in the original...

Re: NCAA Division III Predictions

Curry at Elmira
St. Thomas at Gustavus Adolphus
Adrian at St. Norbert

Elmira at Norwich
Plattsburgh at Middlebury
Bowdoin at Oswego
Gustavus at St. Norbert

Plattsburgh vs Norwich
St. Norbert vs Oswego

St. Norbert vs. Norwich

But I hate Norwich, right Prof?

Start the perfect bracket chant! Essentially nailing the bracket before and after the tournament is pretty difficult, and I have to say, I was aided by one key thing: not watching any games.

Starting a new job right as the season began meant I actually didn't see a single game in person and didn't even watch a complete webcast of an entire game at any point during the season.

So the next time some blowhard with more air than brains asks "Did you see the game, genius?" quote this post and tell them to screw off because while watching hockey is great and fun, sitting in the stands doesn't make you any more knowledgeable than anybody else just for the sake of having sat there.

Congrats to Norwich on a well-deserved national championship. It was a great season that almost nobody* saw coming and the Cadets were able to survive a tough tournament and a heck of a championship game against St. Norbert for the title. The Green Knights have nothing to hang their head about.

*My preseason #5 team. Don't worry, I'll go back to hating them next year,
