In the “local team” category, Michigan Technological University will battle Notre Dame on Friday, March 23rd at 3 PM EDT on ESPN2, representing the “East” bracket;
The University of Michigan will battle Northeastern University on Saturday, March 24th at 4:30 PM on ESPNews, representing the Northeast Division;
And Red Wings prospect Kasper Kotkansalo’s Boston University Terriers will also represent the Northeast Division, playing against Cornell on Saturday, March 24th at 1 PM on ESPNews.
A few nights ago, NBCSN switched from Habs/Pens to the Wings/Kings before the first game was over. Since Wings were on locally, NBCSN just blacked me out.
So I didn’t get to see the end of an entertaining, back and forth bout. Not sure who to blame, but screw you, Gary Bettman. Just for good measure.
All of that to say this: with the Wings being less and less watchable, I am thirsting for more hockey, and I appreciate the friendly reminder here. As well as all the work you do to keep up with the other levels of hockey.
