Paula and I also listened to that broadcast.  The announcers were delightful.
During their pregame show, we got to hear the replay of HC's overtime goal
against the Gophers.  Wow!  They made Al Michaels sound like he was announcing
a golf match at Lake Placid in 1980.

I should probably put this in a separate message, but I do want to acknowledge
the splendid effort put forth by Holy Cross in both games.   They showed that
they truly belonged in the tournament.  I'm sorry they didn't make it to
Milwaukee.
