Game

ENG

[sioux rube]

This is not the same QU team that played Harvard. They would have a fighting chance against the goofs if they play like they are tonight. But if the goofs play like they did tonight then no dice. That game could have easily been 10-2. With that said I hate to say it but it’s the rodents year. Prove me wrong please 

[cberkas]

5-2

 

[brianvf]

QU takes down one uber-talented B10 team in a methodical manner.
Can they do it again on Saturday?

[Dustin]

Once again, senior defenseman > freshman phenoms. Congrats Q.

[Kevin G]

There is your dagger. 
 

NO DOUBLE DIGIT NATTIES THIS YEAR (for 25 years running). 

[cberkas]

Deaked Fantilli on that goal

[brianvf]

Game.

5-2 QU

UMN vs QU for the title

[cowboys5xsbs]

I'm all for the Qu Tampa revenge

I really really really hope so but Minnesota has been so frickin good. Should be a good game if QU plays like they did tonight against the Gophers.

Michigan is gonna be right back in it next season. If Fantilli decides to stay, he’s gonna be even better.

For all the talk about parity in college hockey, the final game is #1 vs #2.

#2 Q has a shot, but they need to get the first goal.   Can't play from behind against Minnesota. But they are good with a lead.

But if the gophers played like they did today nobody is beating them 

[Kevin G]

I could see QU frustrating Minny like they did Mich: defensive structure, great goaltending, opportunistic offense. 
 

[AlphaMikeFoxtrot]

If the Gophers win, I'll take solace in Rand losing the championship game in Tampa again.

I'd guess that Fantilli is a one and done.
Michigan is so young though, so they'll be really good again next season.  They only have five SR/GR on their roster, and none in the top 10 team scoring.
They'll lose a couple of their skilled SO/JR to the NHL though.

[Wilbur]

The Gophers don't play a lot of teams like the Q.  They played Mankato earlier this year and on the NHL sheet they struggled a bit.  

The Gophs more talented, but if the Bobcats put together another performance like tonight and they've got a chance.

…and stay out of the box.

[burd]

Which team has more Canadians.  I pick that team.

I believe I heard one of the ESPN guys say Q is one of the least penalized teams. Let’s hope that holds up on Saturday. 

[MafiaMan]

Welp, I guess we have to cheer for the Q on Saturday night. 

[Dustin]

I have no trouble cheering for Q. They’ve built a contender. 3rd time the charm?

So was BU

[cberkas]

Getting the excuse ready I see.

[brianvf]

The "cheaters". 

I hope QU wins and the MN fans cry themselves to sleep.   
This was the same argument they had last year when Mankato beat them.
