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

[JMCx4]

End of 2nd, 2-1 Denver in Springfield. Game had slowed down end-to-end but still hectic in offensive zones. Denver scores on a PP in closing seconds.

 

[William H Bonney]

Nice! Denver takes the lead. Penalties that dumb seem to always hurt your team.

I love when a stupid penalty results in a powerplay goal. Can't stand brain dead plays like that

It wasn't even close, either. The puck had been gone a loooong time. But he was hellbent on getting a lick in. Dummy may have just cost his team the game.

100%. The whole "look how tough I am" type hits and after the whistle crap make me want to pull my hair out when I watch teams I'm a fan of. When they're games I don't care about and just want to watch good hockey like this one, it makes me pretty happy to see an idiot get punished

Young adults (or sometimes late teens) make emotional decisions. Still one period to turn that one around, and if not, learn for the future.

Zeev has been methodical out there today. Excellent play

Davis has been quietly steady in net for Denver after he coughed up that first goal with poor rebound control.

 

[William H Bonney]

Mattika also having an excellent game today. All over the ice making plays.

 

[JMCx4]

Tick, tick, tick ...

 

[William H Bonney]

Castagna had a chance to redeem himself there. Shanked a wide open tap in.

 

[JMCx4]

W...T...F...?!

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Man how you make that call

 

[William H Bonney]

Easy call. The time on the clock doesn't matter. Can't slash the stick out of a guy's hands allowing your team to win the offensive zone draw.

Ya Im not a fan of all the sudden not calling penalties because of the type of game it is or how much time is left in it. Call it as it has been all year

Yep. You start calling it differently and you're putting your thumb on the scale of the game. Denver would have been rightly pissed if they let that go and Cornell scores on a play where they only get the puck because of an ignored penalty.

 

[JMCx4]

Instead of DU playing keep away, Cornell plays giveaway.

 

[William H Bonney]

Walsh with a huge chance to redeem himself, too, and Davis with a huge save.

 

[JMCx4]

Congrats to the Pios.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Good battle in this game. Cornell's team don't have anything to hang their heads about.

 

[William H Bonney]

Denver always seems to find a way. Congrats to the Pios

 

[JMCx4]

Some mighty good action. Thanks to both teams for their efforts & the entertainment.

 

[sigx15]

Really impressed by both teams. Denver without one of their best players against a super disciplined defensive team were able to stick through it. Cornell played great, just couldn't finish. Davis was awesome again for Denver

 

[wetcoast]

Rizzo still being out for Denver is such a blow to their offense

Does Rizzo look like he can become an NHL player or is his pace still not up to par?

 

[William H Bonney]

Hopefully BU/Minnesota lives up to its potential.

 

[William H Bonney]

The grad line strikes again for the Gophers. They're able to rely more on their veterans this season.
