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

Okay…. Maybe no come back

Screw it put jj McCarthy out there

At this point they need Tom Brady

 

[William H Bonney]

BC's defensive group is so deep and impressive this year. The growth from Fortescue and Minnetian from their U18 seasons to now has been unreal. Poor Leddy is a #7 on this team and he'd be a top 4 guy on a lot of college teams.

 

[TheBeard]

Fowler is good.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Fowler is so solid. Just a wall back there. Great poke check.

Michigan D is weak.

 

[dgibb10]

Fowler is good.

Some might say very good

BC is just really good across the board

Curious to see who ends up pro at seasons end….

I don't root for a specific college team, although I selfishly hope the freshman all run it back just to see another WJC and season from them. If they do, BC could be just as dominant next season. They could be even better but it's hard to improve on this season unless the title game doesn't go there way.

Fowler decommitting from Clarkson to go to BC was a landscape shifter

A lot of people forget Smith was originally committed to Northeastern too

 

[TheBeard]

I feel like smith cares about the Hattie less than anyone.

 

[William H Bonney]

I forgot about that. Wasn't he one of the last 14 year old commitments before that rule changed?

Obviously there odds are tiny but there is no reason for Michigan to not pull their goalie at this point.

I think all 3 freshmen def could come back…. I think it makes sense for all 3 to stay 1 more year.

I think Perreault comes back for sure. Leonard and Smith wouldn't be hurt by another year, but they could both play in the NHL next year, and their teams could use them. It'll be hard to say no.

 

[TLEH]

I think Perreault is back and the other two aren't.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Leonard is NHL ready.

I just wonder if the sharks don’t want to put him in that environment …. They should be in contention for last place next year

He can still play with someone like Eklund and be challenged and progress his game.

 

[ello]

What a lose mentality not pullng the goalie at all, dont think I've ever seen that in an elimination game

 

[TheBeard]

I’m so mad I’m gonna be on a flight during the finals.

 

[Chainshot]

BC administered a paddling.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Jacob Fowler shuts the door. Michigan out!

Best goaltender in college hockey.

Yeah, it could go either way. He certainly should make their team and they'll be a young team next year. As a former Terrier, Grier will sign him just to hurt BC.

 

[TheBeard]

If they draft Macklin he won’t.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Alright Denver vs BC

Let’s go BC

And let’s get cutter gauthier his 40th

 

[TheBeard]

Yeah, it could go either way. He certainly should make their team and they'll be a young team next year. As a former Terrier, Grier will sign him just to hurt BC.

I imagine the choice is his, not Grier’s.

 

[sigx15]

Just saying, anyone here who picks Denver is dead to me!
