GDT: 2024 NCAA Frozen Four National Title (BC vs DU: Championship game 4/13 @ 6pm ET, ESPN2 & ESPN+)

[HanSolo]

So excited for 12 minutes of the 1-3-1

It's been brutal 3 minutes later lol

 

[William H Bonney]

It's been brutal 3 minutes later lol

Effective. But bad for hockey.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Good no call

He tried to sell that

Tied!

 

[RangersFan]

tied game

 

[Terrier]

4-4! Bad blue line turnover.

 

[William H Bonney]

Yes!!!! Minnetian!!! Shove your 1-3-1.

Nice entry there

 

[TheBeard]

Marked, sir. Marked.

I'd consider switching Gauthier and Perreault for a shift or two.

Good thing they didn’t lol.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Is BC always this much of floppers/divers?

 

[TheBeard]

Guess it’s schoolyard rules now.

 

[William H Bonney]

Good thing they didn’t lol.

Hey the shift or two had already long passed

Is BC always this much of floppers/divers?

It's an accepted behaviour in hockey, so the vast majority of players are.

 

[Terrier]

QU survives another turnover.

 

[William H Bonney]

The freshman line hasn't adjusted to the way Quinnipiac clogs the center of the ice in their own zone

That wasn't a dive by Smith. Pretty obvious trip.

 

[HanSolo]

Noted playmaker extraordinaire Cutter Gauthier.

 

[HanSolo]

I know they're freshmen but the Smith line has been awful in this third period.

 

[William H Bonney]

QU survives another turnover.

The ebbs and flows in this game have been wild. Each team takes turns being wildly rattled.

 

[McMozesmadness]

This game deserves OT

I’m taking Leonard and Quillan

The first non call was definitely a dive. The second was definitely a trip.

 

[William H Bonney]

Noted playmaker extraordinaire Cutter Gauthier.

His passing game is underrated. It's easy to forget because he gets tunnel vision too often, but when he's not in default shot mode he's very effective at dishing the puck.

 

[Terrier]

Holy mackerel am I glad my team isn't in this. O-o-o-o-vertime.

 

[William H Bonney]

The first non call was definitely a dive. The second was definitely a trip.

Yeah, the Perreault one wasn't a penalty. A bit of a dive combined with Perreault having cement feet at the end of the shift.

The BC veterans have been trash this game. Will one of them step up? It's often those guys that do in this tournament. Hard for the youngest team to succeed come tournament time without them.

I'll take Malone. But it's probably Leonard.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Man this tournament is delivering on every level

His passing game is underrated. It's easy to forget because he gets tunnel vision too often, but when he's not in default shot mode he's very effective at dishing the puck.

He does make the occasional pass right into a defender's shin pads but in my experience watching BC, he definitely has more of an all around offensive game than the people who claim he's just a triggerman.

It's games like this where I'm glad to just be a fan and not a fan who also has a kid playing in the game. Those poor parents better have some Xanax on them.

I need Xanax for half these games

Even my wife is going nuts and she knows nothing bout college hockey other than the occasional “wasn’t he on team USA at jrs”
