Ok, the end of the season has come, and it's time to write the post-season wrap up. Michigan won the National Title. That came as a big surprise. This is a Michigan team that nobody though would even get into the tournament, let alone win it. Let me take a few moments to talk about ESPN's college hockey coverage. #1 - Michigan did NOT beat Rhode Island in the semi-final game. Michigan did not even PLAY Rhode Island. #2 - Michigan does not have a player named "Bubbenzweig" or "Mottau". The guy is named Bubba Berenzweig. #3 - The net cam was kind of annoying. Why did ESPN always go to it when the puck was behind the net? Do they have no cameras behind the boards? #4 - The players do not "Always take the body in college hockey" Mr. Levy felt compelled to repeat this myth at least 5 times during the championship game. #5 - Will you please stop referring to the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP as "A different type of National Hockey Night"? Give it the respect it deserves, and say it's the NC$$ championship. At least ESPN didn't use Fox's Glowing Puck, or the annoying animations. It did bother me when they put up "Baseball is Next" in a big purple square in the left corner. Couldn't they do this during a commercial?
