OT: General College Hockey Talk

michigan is going to give quinnipiac some good looks, that's for sure. this game should stay interesting
 
UM/Quinnipiac looks vaguely like a Sabres scrimmage with their light and dark sweaters. Sabres white team goalie is standing tall (see what I did there?)

They traded up for both him and Cederqvist when there were indications both would be available when the Sabres picked. They used four late selections to take two players.

Edit - it was 102 for 122 and 175 where they picked Huglen at 102.
Edit - and it was 177 and 191 to get Cederqvist at 143... he was an OA.
I actually have problem with this kind of late round asset consolidation if the analytics and scouting department have high marks on a player that has fallen well below where they would have drafted them. If you have a higher level of certainty, then pull the trigger. Those low round picks only have a 5-7% chance of ever playing an NHL game.

Portillo looks much calmer in the net tonight than he did friday. Friday he looked a bit wild and overplaying the play. Several times watched him go post to post and overslide right out of the net and out of position. Much more controlled tonight though.

This could be a 4-3 or tie game if not for Portillo. Quinnipiac is playing really well.

Ohhhh...it's 4-2 now.
 
Wow what a sick pass on the PP and Michigan up 7-3. Power with an assist.

Then Portillo gives up a goal 10 seconds later. 7-4.

Game over. Michigan onto the Frozen Four. Power / Portillo / Johnson watch still on hold.
 

CHN gives Levi 2nd team honors and makes a point about him having been at NE last year so they don't think he's a rookie-of-the-year candidate.
 
Hobey Hat Trick announced: Bobby Brink (Denver), Ben Meyers (Minnesota), and Dryden McKay (Minnesota State). I thought for sure Bobby Trivigno would be there, but I can't argue with much with putting Brink in the mix.
 
Didn't see the game live, but I watched the 3rd period of Quinnipiac - Michigan on replay and thought if Quinnipiac had another half-period (and therefore would not have needed to pull their goalie, regardless of how early they did it) they may have come back to tie.
 
Coach O'Connell got booted at BU. I wonder if they would bring Quinn back? OR, if the would try to poach a coach like Leaman, Carvel or Hastings?
