Who's everyone got for the one already finalized Frozen Four game...battle of the Five Title Duo? Lesser of two evils? Rank order of remaining teams, based on me "wanting" them to win the title: Quinnipiac - Not a fan of Pecknold, but at least it keeps the title out of B10 and HE. Ohio St - could honestly flip OSU & PSU, first title Penn St - could honestly flip OSU & PSU, first title BU - they get their 6th, keeps title out of B10 Michigan - don't want them to hit double digits first, but my hatred of UMN prevents me from putting them ahead Minnesota - I hope they get crushed and then have Cooley, Knies, LaCombe, Brodzinski, Nelson, Faber, Johnson, and Close all leave/sign (first part not very probable...second part quite probable)

+1

It ended as expected, but SCSU held their own and didn’t get blown out by the B10 juggernaut like many were predicting.

I hope he is busy finding us a goalie and some dmen rather than stewing about something that is now outside of his control.

Cooley with the breakaway goal. 2-1

Hopefully SCSU can too. Today.

1-0 UMN

SOG already 7-0 UMN and they are heading on the PP. Not a good start at all.

Hopefully Cruikshank plays a bit inspired against his old team. SCSU giving up some good chances early.

BU wins 2-1, going to the Frozen Four.

Cornell with some life. 2-1 with 28sec left. Under review though.

Oh yes for sure, just looked again.

For sure Berry needs to move away from that...but will he? We'll know pretty early next season. We'll certainly have the offensive firepower to play a more speed & possession type of game.

Yeah that needs to be corrected. @jimdahl Most impressive bracket from @Pump It Up. He's perfect so far, and also predicted BU to beat Cornell.

5min left in this one and Cornell takes a penalty. The BU player stayed on the ice for a bit to sell that one...and now is on the bench laughing. Nice.

That might do it. 2-0 BU 12min remaining

End of 2nd 1-0 BU Shots and game play pretty even.

5min left in 2nd 1-0 BU

Uff! Q Hutson hits the post on a breakaway

I bought the ESPN+ streaming service for one month. It’s $10 and has every NCAA game. Can cancel it after the tourney.

Even if B10 wins the title this year (highly likely), the NCHC has been dominant for so long…I don’t see that just changing instantly because of some first round NCAA blowouts and/or one B10 title.

And the UMN and QU games were earlier in the season when we weren't playing as well as we were in the 2nd half. Hard to say we would have done worse when we beat both UMN (OT) and QU (SHOOTOUT // FIREWORKS!) this season already.

We'll see how things go in the regional finals and for the next couple years I suppose. From what I watched yesterday, their opponents giving up had a lot to do with it. It was like watching the 8-0 game when UND beat Miami this year...you could actually see when Miami gave up and was just allowing UND to do anything they wanted. It's not like the B10 just invented "going for the jugular" this weekend.
