OT - NCAA Frozen Four

No NCAA events sell alcohol. Nothing new. I applaud it.

BU down 2-0 to Denver after 1.

The speed from the teams out west is killing the Hockey East teams.

BC's team speed should be able to match Duluth's, however.

Yale just took the lead, 2-1, against UMass-Lowell midway through the second with several minutes remaining. 4 minutes left in the second now.

Alcoholics. (Former semi-alcoholic here.) You can't drink at most rinks (unless you purchase rights the rights to do so at certain ones).
 
Freshman d-man mistake sliding into the goalie helped give Mass-Lowell an easy tying goal. Hope G Lyon comes back.

Boston College beat UMD and UND beat UM, both programs are off to the Frozen Four.

Remember the old UConn hockey barn? I swear the only way to make it through those games on February night was to be drunk.
 
BC advanced; but, Duluth made them sweat at the end. Gut is the final will be between North Dakota and BC.

That place was awesome!!!! Where I learned to play the game as a kid.
 
Mass-Lowell up 1-0 on QU start of the 2nd...winner goes to Tampa with Denver, BC, and North Dakota.
 
QU ties it up on a goal by Landon Smith..1-1 8:09 left in the 2nd period
 
Sam Anas scores on a 2 on 1 created by a HORRIBLE Mass-Lowell turnover....2-1 QU in the 2nd

QU now up 3-1...this game is gonna be tough for the River Hawks to come back from with the style they play.
 
QU now up 4-1 with just over 3:00 left...this should seal it and send them to the Frozen Four to play BC
 
Surprised how dominant Quinnipiac was over Lowell. Last two periods were impressive.
 
Frozen Four:
ND vs Denver
BC vs QU

There will be some really good hockey to watch in these 3 games. My prediction:
ND vs BC final
ND wins National Championship in OT
 
QU can beat BC. I am going with QU vs Denver, Denver winning. The momentum from the west is strong right now.
 
North Dakota's speed and talent is crazy.

The speed of the teams out west is a big advantage over eastern teams.

Would be a great final if it was ND vs BC

I'm not a Pecknold fan. Plus I believe BC's talent matches up better with North Dakota or Denver.
 
I figured. I shook his hand twice and he never had a problem with me, surprisingly. But I know he's not well-liked. Another championship in CT would outlast him.

QU wins 4 to 1 over UMass-Lowell. So its QU versus BC and North Dakota versus Denver in the Frozen Four in 2 weeks. Should be a lot of fun, except its in Tampa.
 
Would rather hell freeze over than see BC get number 6. QU has a good shot to beat them, but if he's not careful and doesn't prepare absolutely brilliantly, York will coach circles around Pecknold. In order to beat BC this time of year, you have to know every one of the little ticks York teaches his players and teach your players how to prevent them and respond to them. If I had a dime for every NCAA game I've watched where I saw a BC goal against an unsuspecting opponent 15 seconds before it happened, I could pay off my student loans.

Both DU and UND are playing extraordinarily well, though I'd give the edge to the Sioux. DU's opposition this weekend wasn't nearly as good as UND's. DU could've won the opening round with their hands tied behind their back. The most talent-loaded FF in a long, long time.

I remember playing there as a kid. Having to walk through the lobby and past the wood stoves to get onto the ice. Really crazy setup. Fast ice.

We used to have 5am Sat morning practices there. One morning, it was -15 with the wind chill. Our assistant coach had so much frozen spit and snot on his beard he looked like Santa.

I remember practicing there at that time as a kid....I also remember vividly how the water collected on the end near the road when it rained...a few times as a kid...and as an adult playing in a night men's league there I took off for that corner as the puck was cycled around hard and ended up feeding it out front for a goal. The common question I was always asked by the guys who didn't know that rink "what were you doing..and you got lucky..."
 
Anyone other than bcu or Quinny, but certainly prefer state school North Dakota over Denver and the other schools.
 
I know I'm gonna take flack for this here but I'm rooting for BC and HE to win the Frozen Four. I do this for any post season games that UConn isn't in. Jerry York is as classy a coach as there is and I like the way his team plays the game. As for QU..I used to like Pecknold a lot, until I saw his act and the act of his kids on the ice up-close and personal this year. Now I understand why Claver went on his rant and tried to go after him last year.

I don't really follow college hockey but if you're rooting for BC, is it safe to assume they are playing the ISIS? And you struggled with the decision?

Yeah, I know BC is in our hockey conferences, but I don't think I could actually force myself to root for them in anything, unless the lives of at least one million innocent people were at stake. And then I"d struggle with it.
