Me, I'm bitter over 2015. PC was gifted with an unfair draw that gave it home ice, while other better East teams (Quinnipiac and Harvard) had to go west to get eliminated.
Love my Friars, that's my hometown team, but I can't celebrate this one.
Nobody bitched more loudly in this thread than I did about the absurdity of the seeding, but the bottom line is that playing on home ice isn't what enabled them to beat Miami. That win came at the hands of impressive physical play and total dictation of tempo that left the Redhawks totally discombobulated until they pulled their goalie for an eight-and-a-half-minute desperation power play.
It certainly wasn't a factor in their domination of Denver. It had nothing whatsoever to do with their decisive victory over Nebraska-Omaha, nor the title game win over BU. The players still had to hit, skate, pass, score, block shots and make saves. The O'Connor muff notwithstanding, PC played four superb games over a two-week stretch.
So enough with the "I can't celebrate this" nonsense. Go have a fucking beer and toast your fucking team.
