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

[William H Bonney]

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

I wasn't being serious

Man this must be a tough pill to swallow for Warren

 

[William H Bonney]

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

Be nice or we are going all in with the Pios.

Denver is either getting championship #10 or BC getting #6. One program is about to add another chapter to their storied history.

Suddenly have the urge to cheer for Denver

BC is -260 on DraftKings. They seem like they’re just too good

All in on Denver just to spite @sigx15

Ok now I feel attacked. I hope none of the BC players ever sign with your NHL teams and they all go to free agency. Shout out Kevin Hayes

If BC only loses Malone, Bengtsson, Powell, Ambrosio, and Gauthier while adding Hagens, Stiga, Skahan, Sondreal, and not out of the question Hensler, you won't even need to hold players hostage.

I think Will Smith goes pro.

 

[William H Bonney]

I think Will Smith goes pro.

I think Leonard does too. But if either of them stay, BC will be a wagon again.

 

[Brodeur]

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

Depending on the airline, you might have a live TV option. Southwest/JetBlue off the top of my head would have ESPN available.

Flying United international.

 

[SirSamofHouseBennett]

Can anyone tell me how Eamon Powell has looked? Will TBY sign him?

I said this in the middle of the game but Aram Minnetian had improved defensively leaps and bounds this year. I was really worried about him last year and wondered if he would ever put it together. His gap control, stick work, body positioning on top of his first pass and rush ability has been so good. Really fun to watch a guy put it together

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

just how many hockey playing Hughes does America have?!
Surely we must be nearing Hughes saturation

TJ is Canadian.

I have no idea who Dillon Duke is but my god does he suck.

Doesn't suck at all.

 

[sigx15]

Doesn't suck at all.

Duke was awesome in the regionals, just wasn’t his best last night

Rooting for Denver. Wouldn't hurt if the BC guys feel like they have unfinished business, sorry lol want them back in school next year.

Welcome to @sigx15 naughty list

It would be a big blow in next year’s junior tournament if that whole line went pro but it is what it is.

I'd love to have the BC freshman line back for the WJC, but missing top players while still icing a Gold Medal threat is exactly where USA hockey needs to be.

If we ever hope to dislodge Canada from it's throne as *the* preeminent hockey nation, that will be an annual burden for the WJC team to bear.

Agreed. It’s a “good problem to have” so you won’t hear me use it as an excuse. Just saying it’d be sick to have that group together as 19 year olds lol.

This was my 6th Frozen Four, and it was definitely the worst atmosphere out of any of them. Obviously it was a worst case scenario for the NCAA with no Minnesota schools, no UND and no Wisconsin. In two years when it's in Vegas you will get more people to come out based on the venue, but we could see a similar situation in St. Louis next season, especially if a couple of these teams return (would be 4 straight for UM, 3 out of 4 for Denver and BU)

Not a shot at the NCAA, because traditionally you couldn't really pick a better venue than the Twin Cities, in 2011 when it was UND, Duluth, Michigan and Notre Dame the place was electric, they just had bad luck with who made it through each regional. Vegas will be packed, but I do question St. Louis as a FF host.

The Michigan support was terrible, way worse than 2011. It's been an extremely exciting (but also expensive) time for UM alumni and fans the last three years, with 3 straight CFP trips (4 games total) and 3 straight Frozen Fours. I think a lot more people who support, but maybe aren't total diehards passed on this. If this were in Chicago or Pittsburgh it's maybe a different story. I think those things, coupled with the reality that UM was really going to need a miracle to beat BC hurt our turnout.

 

[Bonin21]

I'm not sure St. Louis will be great, either.

They should just do Tampa every year.

 

[William H Bonney]

They should stop trying to emulate March Madness

Celebrini wins the Hobey and McClellan wins the Mike Richter Award... I'd really like to see Cutter and Fowler do the same type of interview as Gerbe did when he won the championship
