OT: General College Hockey Talk

[SundherDome]

Michigan is giving up a lot of space

 

[old kummelweck]

I was high on Brisson over Krebs back from Vegas, but I can see why Sabres took the latter. He was ready to go.

 

[Chainshot]

Portillo just went for the AIC empty net. That would've been a thing.

 

[Chainshot]

Blankenburg, whatya doing man?

 

[Chainshot]

UMass bringing the body.

 

[Chainshot]

Johnson draws the first penalty of the game.

 

[Chainshot]

Wow. Goal review stands on one that might not have been a goal, then UMass scores to go up 2-0.

 

[Chainshot]

 

[Chainshot]

Johnson scores! 2-1 Minny. Knies just a beast to get that shift going physically, then Johnson finishes the play.

 

[Chainshot]

 

[old kummelweck]

I agree. Reviews are brutal. Officials don't want to make the major call, so they are just using the video.

 

[old kummelweck]

Sounds like a lot of kids came down from Amherst to root on their hockey team.

 

[Chainshot]

UMass up 3-1.

 

[RabidBadger]

UMass and the Jaundiced Gerbils has the feel of a Frozen Four game. This one is everything I thought it would be. Knies is a wrecking ball, fun to watch.

Edit: Matt Kessell is the unsung hero this game for UMass.

 

[RabidBadger]

Minnesota has had some key shot blocks. Much respect to the effort.

 

[Chainshot]

 

[RabidBadger]

UMass went into, essentially, prevent mode with 8 minutes left. Gotta keep your foot on the gas, eh?

What. A. Game.

 

[toomuchsauce]

Did Huglen make that play?

Edit: he did

 

[truthbluth]

What a freaking shift from Huglen! He’s going to be the star of that team next year.

 

[RabidBadger]

Man, that may have been the best game we'll see the whole tournament. Great comeback by Minnesota!

 

[Chainshot]

Did Huglen make that play?

Edit: he did

That was a sign of things to come.

 

[truthbluth]

That was a sign of things to come.

He’s so good

 

[Chainshot]

Quinnipiac hasn't given up more than three goals all season. Amazing.

And they score to take the lead on St. Cloud.

 

[toomuchsauce]

I feel really bad for this St. Cloud goalie, he's got lacrosse goalie stats tonight. Some nights you just can't get it going.

 

[Chainshot]

Prediction time:

Michigan beats AIC
St. Cloud in OT over Quinnipiac like 1-0 or 2-1

State beats Harvard
ND 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.

I expect to be 80% wrong.

Seems like I'm about to be 80% right instead.
