Really interested to see if BC can remain on a heater as these games get bigger.

 

[Brodeur]

DU/UMass going to OT, second game will be pushed back as a result.

Definitely a little tough for DU having to play a de facto road game. They didn't seem to have any legs in the first period.

 

[JMCx4]

Helluva defensive battle. UMass shutting down DU's ability to get speed & numbers into the O-zone.

OT... game on!

 

[Bonin21]

Most college hockey fans will say the one and done format kinda sucks for college hockey. It's actually pretty rare for the best team to win it all.

BC is the best team of the last 20 years or so. Heavy favorite. But anything can happen in this tournament.

 

[Brodeur]

Jack Devine went for a lap and nearly snuck in a wraparound. Good stick by Ryan Ufko to deny it.

 

[JMCx4]

6'7" goalie Michael Hrabal is almost like cheating.

Must be warm and/or humid in Springfield, lots of pucks rolling & hopping.

Must be warm and/or humid in Springfield, lots of pucks rolling & hopping.

It's been raining for like 24 hours out here, humidity is really high

 

[Brodeur]

Hrabal with a nice stop on Devine who almost cashed in on a rough turnover around the UMass net.

 

[JMCx4]

2nd OT to follow.

 

[William H Bonney]

Fun game. While one-and-done doesn't always lead to the best team winning the championship as @Bonin21 said, it sure makes for a fun tournament as a fan of college hockey and not a specific team. But having a best-of-5 series between say BC and BU this year would be unreal.

 

[Brodeur]

DU/UMAss Going to 2OT, guess I'll switch over to BU/RIT for the next 15 minutes.

 

[Brodeur]

I think I saw more high quality scoring chances in two minutes of the BU/RIT game than the last two periods of DU/UMass.

 

[William H Bonney]

BU has been sloppy with the puck to start

Hutson just abused the RIT defense and goalie. Nice pass by Celebrini and even better move by Hutson

 

[Chainshot]

Lane making it look easy.

 

[Brodeur]

Hutson hit the brakes and everybody flew right by.

 

[William H Bonney]

Thanks for showing up, RIT

 

[Brodeur]

RIT was hanging in there and generating some chances but this feels like the flood gates might open up soon for BU.

 

[JMCx4]

BU nets 2 quick ones late in the 1st. They are rolling now.

 

[Bonin21]

Ya if they don't score on this PP it's over

 

[Brodeur]

DU/UMass just resumed.

 

[William H Bonney]

RIT needed that. Huge goal
