BRIDGEPORT, Conn. — What happened to Harvard’s hockey team on the way down from Cambridge? Did they get waylaid by Yalies while coming through New Haven? Whatever the reason, this wasn’t the same varsity that won two dozen games and came into the NCAA tournament with Frozen Four aspirations.

‘We picked a tough game to have a really poor performance,” coach Ted Donato said Friday after third-seeded Ohio State demolished the second-seeded Crimson, 8-1, at Total Mortgage Arena. “Give them [OSU] all the credit but we certainly would have liked to play a lot better.”

The Buckeyes (21-15-3) advanced to Sunday’s regional final against top seed Quinnipiac (31-4-3), which blanked fourth-seeded Merrimack (23-14-1), 5-0, in the nightcap.

Five more followed in the second period from Gustaf Westlund (playing his first game since October) and Thiesing six seconds apart, then from Mason Lohrei, Joe Dunlap and McWard on the power play. “They just kept going in for us,” said co-captain Jake Wise.
 
That’s a smart pass. Wins face off and taps it to the open guy. Does he dominate the face off circle ?
57.3% on the dot, 6th in the league among centers with more than 700 faceoffs. He will get better as he gots stronger too.

He will get some votes for league MVP. I get a vote on that and I'm not sure I can give him the vote. It's not like the Hart Trophy in the NHL - different criteria so I can't in good faith give him my vote. That said, I spoke with several people that also get a vote and a few of them said if it was the same criteria as the Hart, he'd get their vote. But first, we have to wait for teams to nominate their MVP.

Anyway, they have a tough task in the first round going up against Ryan Mast and Sarnia. I will be doing a playoff preview in the coming days with my predictions.

Poitras will return to the OHL next season and he will win a scoring championship.
