Draft Round 1 #23: New York Rangers Select RW Gabriel Perreault (Boston College, NCAA)

[GlasgowNewYorkRanger]

I cannot proclaim to have watched much US college hockey in my time, does anyone know of a station to watch this on that someone in Europe would be able to do so with relative ease?

Is this an elimination game?

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Is this an elimination game?

Yes but still conference tournament.

Then there is the NCAA tournament.

Is this an elimination game?

not for BC, they are ranked high enough (1st in PairWise, RPI, and most polls) that
if they lose, they'll earn a spot in NCAAs anyway

I’m confused LOL

 

[Leetch3]

he's back.

Their season will not be over if they lose.

But they will be eliminated from the conference championship.

The conference championship winners get automatically selected to the NCAA/national championship tournament.

This is the OHL semifinals, NCAA tournament is like the Memorial Cup.

Difference is some teams that didn’t win their conference are selected to play in rhe NCAA tournament to round the field out to 16 teams. If BC loses they will still be selected as one of those teams.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Tied 1-1.

They just said BC only went 2 for 18 on the PP without Gabe for the 5 games. They are 1-1 with him back (would have had the 3rd assist on the goal).

Announcers have been gushing over him most of the first 10 minutes over a season he’s had.

 

[ArPanet]

It’s early but Gabe’s been dumped hard twice.

I wouldn’t classify it has “hard” but he’s been dumped. Second time he responded with a nice high hit that went uncalled.

 

[cwede]

I’m confused LOL

there are 6 leagues whose Conference Champions get automatic bids to the 16 team NCAA field
the other 10 participants are the highest ranked among non-Champs

Minn[Lamb] are highly ranked but not in Big10 Final, they will make the NCAA field anyway
if BC loses today, they will still get into NCAA bracket as well

First hit looked a little dangerous.

And thank god they only let one Atlantic team in. It's like the token lower division basketball team in March Madness

 

[B17 Apricots]

Not for nothing but I think that should be more frequent in the NHL... majors without the game misconduct. There's little nuances here and there that I think warrant a major penalty but shouldn't necessarily get thrown out of the game for

 

[GAGLine]

Great goal by Gabe!

 

[EdJovanovski]

Perreault!!!

 

[bhamill]

Gabe scored literally 1 second after I turned on the game. You’re welcome.

 

[ArPanet]

Brilliant!

 

[The Crypto Guy]

GABE IS A CHEAT CODE

 

[GAGLine]

That was a hell of a play by Gauthier on Morrow.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Great goal for Gabe.

Gauthier just took a steaming dump
On Morrow

 

[GAGLine]

Gabe looked pretty fast on that breakaway, just couldn't get a good shot off.
