This was a complete, 60-minute effort by the Dutchmen. Outside of two bad turnovers (Jooris & Ghost), this team did everything right in all phases of the game.

On to AC! I don't know if I'll be going, but I like this team's chances now...especially the way they've played their past 4 games.

So much for rolling right on through Union.

A great way to end the season at Messa and congratulations to the players & coaches for making it to AC! Sullivan had a whale of a game, nice to see him rewarded with a couple goals. The team seems to be peaking at just the right time and hopefully can do some damage next weekend.

Also want to note the very classy comments by Gaudet after the game (not to mention the poking fun at Ken ). He is definitely very emotional during the games, but some coaches are like that and mostly I don't begrudge any coach some gamesmanship when it comes to the refs, etc. It was definitely a frustrating weekend for Dartmouth, but was good that things didn't get out of hand at the end. They are a good young team and should make some noise again next season.

It was a pretty impressive weekend. Union didn't trail in either game and really reminded me of the kind of team we saw the last few years. This is now four games in a row with excellent performances and they really seem to be peaking at the right time. Whoever gets them on Friday will have a tough task.

These quarterfinal wins are always kind of bittersweet for me, though. Glad Union advances, but the idea of almost 7 months without a game at Messa is a downer. This regular season went by faster than even last years did.

Union draws Yale in the semi-finals at Atlantic City. Would've rather have went against Brown, but I think the boys match up favorably with Yale.

How many posters plan on going to Atlantic City? I'll be there for sure. It's a pretty bad trip, but it was worth every mile to see the team win last year.

Looks like we get the 7:00 game. I rented a house for this weekend a little less than a month ago so I am very happy that Union hockey will be making the trip down to AC with me. I'll be with about a dozen other alums so it should be a good time.

Doesn't make sense to buy tickets ahead of time, right? If I remember correctly, last year it was completely empty and you could buy tickets from scalpers outside for a fraction of face value.
