OT: 2022-2023 NCAA Hockey Thread

[NHL1674]

Turtled the whole 3rd period. So Minnesota.

 

[MNNumbers]

Why does anyone turtle that bad? It never works, and it gives away all of the energy. Keep attacking. Let's go Knies, Snuggerud, Cooley.

Because they were on the PK?

 

[TaLoN]

Come on Gophers! Still time to end it in regulation

 

[Digitalbooya]

I don’t care who wins, I just want OT. If the gophers were down I would have been wanting them to score to tie it.

 

[NHL1674]

Because they were on the PK?

The whole period?

 

[MNNumbers]

Because they were on the PK?

They haven't been on the PK all period. Shots are what, 15-1 in the 3rd?

 

[TaLoN]

The whole period?

Q isn't a pushover either, and they were playing desperate. They're the #2 team in the nation for a reason.

 

[TaLoN]

OT

 

[north21]

Q!!!!!!!

Got your wish. 35 second left but same thing

 

[Digitalbooya]

OT!!!

 

[Minnewildsota]

The whole period?

They haven't been on the PK all period. Shots are what, 15-1 in the 3rd?

Because if you press, you leave your defense “exposed”. Q was pressing. The Gophs didn’t need another goal. They needed to prevent the other team from scoring.

You’re ahead. You focus on not letting the other team score. Pretty basic logic.

 

[NHL1674]

Both MN teams choking away their leads tonight.

 

[Jagged Ice]

Because they were on the PK?

Before that. The entire period.

 

[north21]

Bring it on, we were playing not to lose, now we play to win.

 

[MNNumbers]

Q isn't a pushover either, and they were playing desperate. They're the #2 team in the nation for a reason.

Shots 29-14. Shot attempts 61-37. I'd say they are the #1 team in the nation.


Anyway.....get completely outplayed for 2 periods, and still going to OT. No complaints.

 

[Sad People]

They have all the momentum. Only thing we really have going for ourselves is that the Q hopefully over exerted themselves getting back into the game.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Cooley has been awesome all year, but for f*** sakes, that was completely unacceptable.

 

[MNNumbers]

Is there a full break before the OT?

 

[Minnewildsota]

Shots 29-14. Shot attempts 61-37. I'd say they are the #1 team in the nation.

Because if one game? Specifically one period? Ok.

Is there a full break before the OT?

Yes

 

[TaLoN]

Shots 29-14. Shot attempts 61-37. I'd say they are the #1 team in the nation.

For 2 periods? No. 1 period? Yes.

First was the Gopher's
2nd was split
3rd was the Bobcats

 

[north21]

Playing endless D for an entire period is stupid, play to win the game.

 

[TaLoN]

At some point you have to credit Q for their great forecheck while selling out to maintain said forecheck.

The Gophers by contrast had no reason to sell out from responsible play.

 

[Digitalbooya]

OT Winner Predictions?

I’ve got:
Minnesota ~ Nelson
Quinnipiac ~ Graf

Exactly.

And it’s not like the Gophs didn’t have chances to score. They just didn’t convert.

OT Winner Predictions?

I’ve got:
Minnesota ~ Nelson
Quinnipiac ~ Graf

Only 1 team can score
