OT: General College Hockey Talk

[Chainshot]

NoDak loses to Notre Dame. Denver-UMassLowell still 0-0 in the first.

 

[Matt Ress]

Thank you to anyone able to follow today's games

 

[Chainshot]

Denver won the final of the four games yesterday so the brackets from yesterday become:

Denver vs. Minnesota-Duluth
Minnesota St. vs. Notre Dame.

Today's games feature Levi's Northeastern Huskies at noon against Western Michigan, Portillo/Power and the Wolverines against AIC at 3:00, Huglen/Johnson and the Gophers at 6:00 against UMass.

Day 1 toughts:

-I didn't get to see the Denver game, but all 4 games seemed über-competitive. Every inch of ice was contested which will make for a really exciting tournament.

-Ryan Fanti, Duluth's goalie, is playing in a different zone. 3 consecutive shutouts is impressive. When you do it against the #3, #4 and #12 teams, you are otherwordly.

-My bracket is screwed; 2-2. I think Chainshot went 4-0. Good show, chap!

Ha! I didn't go back to look, maybe I should!

 

[Chainshot]

beats ND. Wait. Notre Dame beats NoDak.

WMU avenges yesterday's loss and beats NEU
Minny over Mass though I could see that going the other way for some reason.

Denver enjoys relative home ice and beats Lowell
MDU sneaks by Tech.

Huh, 4-for-4 yesterday.

I guess I can't get to 80% wrong.

I tuned in a little later in the game. Was Costantini benched? I don't think I heard his name in the 3rd or OT.

 

[Chainshot]

I had a daydream that someone like Costantini would have a great game to drive himself into Sabre fans thoughts but outside of the turnover he gave up to Slaggert, he didn't have much of a noteworthy game yesterday. The other five guys (also known as those Lance mentioned in his article yesterday) are all in action today.

Passed the puck directly to Slaggert for a GA. They pretty much stapled him to the bench from then on - I don't recall more than a couple of shifts.

Levi's having his usual game so far... a series of spectacular saves keeping the Huskies in the game 0-0.

And the Broncos strike first... 1-0 WMU

NE hung Levi out to dry on that one. Perfect shot. It sucks that it highlights the concern about him in the pros, he's vulnerable up high.

Also of note, western Michigan is really really good. They might be my favorite for winning it all.

[SundherDome]

Levi is so sound positionally

 

[truthbluth]

They are all shooting high. We'll see if f Levi adjusts. Good test

He pulled his blocker elbow back on the shot, which is what opened up the top of the net. Most guys do that, but shouldn't. As a smaller guy, he's going to have to use his hands to cut off the angle of the shot more than that, or he will get beat high.

 

[Chainshot]

Harris did a great job walking the line to get a lane to the net. NEU needs to get something.

 

[old kummelweck]

NEU looks outmatched. PP coming up for the huskies here.

That's almost every game except for the ones against LIU.

ESPN announcers all trying to make the case Levi should stay another year in college.

 

[SundherDome]

Shut the f*** up Cohan and Bucci.

Also, where are these multi billion dollar college facilities for hockey?

 

[SundherDome]

Fontaine has hand like 5 great chances to tie this thing
