MINNEAPOLIS -- They don't call it "March Madness" for nothing. While the hoops version of the NCAA Tournament has produced few upsets, the hockey version is ripe with them, and there are only 12 games played before the Frozen Four.

Through the first seven games of regional play, higher-seeded teams are just 2-6. While Boston University won comfortably over Ohio State in the Northeast Regional, Minnesota-Duluth needed a minor miracle to beat Princeton in the West on Friday.

You may remember that UMD had to score with 0.8 seconds left in regulation to tie Princeton and force overtime. While it was an unbelievable moment, it's time as "most dramatic goal of the tournament" didn't even last 18 hours.
