I've seen a few messages in the last week about the lack of coverage by the media over college hockey. My feeling is that it is very poorly covered. What makes it worse is the lack of coverage by our local newspaper. This is my thought. Last year after the LSSU Lakers had won the national championship for the 2nd time in 3 years (and they had been in the final 3 years in a row) I decided to watch every sport show I could find that evening to see what kind of glory they would give to the Lakers. I can't remember the exact name of the ESPN sports show that was on that night, but it was one that supposedly covered all sports. Do you know that in this hour long show that the only mention the Lakers got was 10 seconds at the end of the show saying that they had won. I'd take a bet with anyone this year that whoever wins gets a heck of alot more coverage by ESPN. Ok, so I'm depressed that the Lakers aren't there again, and I'm depressed that a team from our conference (Michigan) just got knocked out of it. In the interest of college hockey I do hope that the phinal phour does get better coverage then previous years.
