OT: 2022-2023 NCAA Hockey Thread

[TaLoN]

OT Winner Predictions?

I’ve got:
Minnesota ~ Nelson
Quinnipiac ~ Graf

Snuggerude... he's had a lot of great chances, he's bound to bury one. You know that high/ wide shot has to have him itching for another chance

 

[Digitalbooya]

Only 1 team can score

I was trying to be neutral

 

[TaLoN]

Exactly.

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

A turtle is refusing to forecheck in favor of selling out to play D.

That wasn't what I saw. Every chance to forecheck, the Gophers did... they didn't dump and change like a turtle team does

 

[Arturia Pendragon]

I think Cooley comes out a man possessed and wins it

 

[Minnewildsota]

It's gonna be Faber

Idk if I would call it turtling, but they definitely didn’t commit to a serious forecheck

He’s had a bad tourney imo

Define "serious forecheck". They often had 1 person deep on the forecheck. Honestly, it would be stupid to have 2 high forecheckers.

They ran a 1-2-2, which is a pretty standard tactic in the third, with the lead.

Rolling a 2-1-2 just allows the opposing team greater chances for odd man rushes, which is what you don't want.

or a man possessed and takes another bad penalty.

 

[keppel146]

It seems like we haven’t had multiple guys in the rush tonight. Lots of 1 on ___ plays

 

[Minnewildsota]

Grant Potulny..

 

[Sad People]

Wow

 

[TaLoN]

Woof

Felt like they gave easy exits to Q all period.

 

[NHL1674]

Complete fail

 

[Victorious Secret]

Minnesota sports staying on brand lmao

 

[Arturia Pendragon]

I don’t drink. Tonight that changes

 

[Minnewildsota]

Good for Quinnipiac. They played a good game.

 

[TaLoN]

Once again... face offs prove to be pivotal

 

[TaLoN]

Why didn't we start with the Cooley line?

 

[keppel146]

It’s the Minnesota way

@Digitalbooya thanks for your jinx

 

[Southern Minny]

Trying to hang on for the win instead of going out and winning it.

That's not what happened

 

[lordtrillson]

That one’s on motzko.

 

[Digitalbooya]

Is it normal to start LaCombe-Kester and not Faber’s pair? I guess I always just assumed Faber’s pair was the top pair.
