The Frozen Four

Re: The Frozen Four

Anybody care to explain why that's not 5 minutes and a game misconduct?? Looked much worse than LaLeggias.

Nothing could have been worse than LaLeggia's...but this one was close. It definitely should have been 5 and a game.

This one looked like more an elbow and less of the skaters head down.

Re: The Frozen Four

Is BU actively trying to play for overtime?

Sadly, the 7th time is not the charm for Dave Hakstol.

Dave Hakstol didn't have much to do with that one. I thought he had his team very well prepared. If the Sioux would have come out and looked the way Omaha did, I would have been much more disappointed.

Kudos to BU...they did a great job of limiting North Dakota, and were even nice enough to gift us a goal to get us back in it. Terriers did a great job of capitalizing on their chances, and are a very deserving team playing in the Championship game. Same should be said for Providence. PC and BU combined to knock out 5 of the 6 NCHC teams (with the other getting knocked out by an NCHC team).

Either way, good luck to both teams...hope that it's a classic title game. I'll be rooting for PC, solely because I like to see teams that have never won, win it all (I'm a Vikings fan...I figure rooting karma has to come back to me at some point right? ).

Re: The Frozen Four

So much for cheap tickets for Saturday night. Since the Providence victory, half the 1000 tickets available on StubHub have sold, and the get-in price has doubled to $250. And the market will only tighten now that BU has won.

this we can agree on.. :-)

Re: The Frozen Four

Yep. That should have been a 5 and Game Misconduct...stupid play.

The knee on knee hit was borderline too

That's very thinly veiled. But I am glad the UND is not disappointed.

Hockey East national championship. Those in the league are not surprised. Says a lot for the league and very little for the validity of the pair wise selection process. The field of 16 would have been better served with UNH, Vermont and Lowell included. Those additional teams were much better than many of the teams selected.

Re: The Frozen Four

Yeah...within any game there are calls that could go different ways. The knee on knee could have been a 5. There were a few trips/hits that could have been called that weren't. Poolman's boarding minor at the end of the first that ultimately lead to BU's second goal was iffy. At the end of the day, it's college hockey with college officiating...that is going to happen in every game. Usually the team that either takes advantage of that (or keeps their head straight through the adversity) is the team that wins at the end of the day. Fortunately, at the end of the day, I don't think the officiating affected the ultimate result.

That's very thinly veiled. But I am glad the UND is not disappointed.

I'm sure the team is devastated. That being said, you may want to re-read my post...
