           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?
