Last month, Jeremy did a retro diary of the semifinal victory over Maine. Now it's time to relive the championship game.
Like Jeremy, I was in St. Louis for the games. It was my senior year at Michigan State, my fourth year in Slapshots (the hockey equivalent of the Izzone, though nowhere near as large or well-organized, sadly), and I was making the rounds of graduate school visits at the time. With one of the early-round sites being just a short drive away in Grand Rapids, I had hoped that none of the visit programs for my two final choices would interfere.
