2016 Mariucci Classic: Minnesota, UConn, Harvard, Ferris State

Re: 2016 Mariucci Classic: Minnesota, UConn, Harvard, Ferris State

No, BTN+ only which requires at least a one month subscription for $10.

As it turns out I have an extra ticket, so if anyone is interested (no charge) send me your email via rep.

Tix should be cheap, don't mean to deny D2D's profits however. :)

For streaming, they MIGHT pro-rate, but dunno.

No profit if it's free! ;)

Nope, they won't. And don't forget to cancel, or the $9.95 charge will show up (as "NeuLion") on your credit card indefinitely. Don't ask how I know this! :eek:

Good info. Won't be around for any access tomorrow, so go Gophs!

Also, just want to add that the Gophers better be ready for Harvard tomorrow. Quite honestly, offensively at least, they looked like they're in a different league than the other three teams I saw this evening. Gophers will need to bury the few good looks they get, and Schierhorn will need to play his best game of the year - and have a little puck luck to go with it - to give the Gophers a decent chance to pull out a win.

They look to be just as good as the SCSU team that worked the Gophers over 2 games in a row 5 weeks ago at Mariucci. Maybe not quite as polished on the PP as SCSU, but probably stronger offensively 5x5.

It's going to be a very tough game, but I'm hoping the Gophers can put together a solid 60 minutes and a determined defensive game plan. Any give Saturday...

If the Gophers and Notre Dame win we hit the PWR jackpot and a nice bump to at least 15th. A Gopher W AND a Notre Dame W over Denver, gets us a QWB (quality win bonus) and two COps (comparisons with Den. and Western Michigan). Hope the rust rattled off last night. The Gophers will need a tight shutdown, physical D game and a lot of choice shots near the paint to solve Madsen, who has an outstanding .963 SV% and 1.11 GAA :eek:. The dude has only had a total of 9 GA in 8 starts.

Is the quality good? Thanks!

Yes, the times I've used it I thought the picture was better than most streams - near HD quality. You never know who you're going to get for the announcer, however.

2-1 the gophers are down to perennial powerhouse Harvard, yawn stretch.

Ugg, what a heart breaker.

A really great hockey game, though.

Excellent fast paced OT college hockey tonight with lots of shot attempts (Harvard/58, Gophers/57). The Gophers played a tough physical D game, but not mistake free committing an odd man rush turnover for Harvard for the winning goal in OT. Congrats to the Harvard Crimson, a talented and fast veteran team that I suspect will have a shot at a F4 appearance. As expected, Vesey looked like one of the top players in the nation.

For the Gophers, a disappointing loss when they had the lead with 5 min. left in the game. But in retrospect this team has greatly improved from its poor start to the season. They have to continue to face the lesson to eliminate the turnovers and close good teams out. But overall a good effort by a young Gopher team tonight against a veteran Harvard team that brought most of their players back from last season.

Good summary, SteveO. The crowd really got into it when the Gophers came back from a 0-2 deficit to go ahead 3-2. Then the tying goal really took the crowd out of it, as they seemed to sense how the game would ultimately end. But the way it ended was especially disappointing. The Gophers had a 4 on 2 rush, but managed to turn the puck over on an ill-advised pass that was intercepted, which led to Harvard going on a 3 on 1 break the other way. They executed it beautifully and game over, Crimson. Really too bad because the Gophers played one of their best games of the season, or perhaps THE best game of the season. Just wish it had a different ending instead of "deja vu all over again". :(
 
Re: 2016 Mariucci Classic: Minnesota, UConn, Harvard, Ferris State

I thought Minnesota played a really solid game and frankly, were the better team. When I looked at the shot total, I was surprised that Harvard outshot Minnesota by 10 or so. I would never have guessed that.

Minnesota is the first team all season that could really skate with Harvard. Not only that, it was the first team that really neutralized Jimmy Vesey. Yes, Vesey had both helpers on Harvard's 2 final goals, but he played a fairly passive and perimeter-oriented game tonight. I couldn't help but think that he may have been nursing an injury, but Minnesota really played him tough and frankly, played Harvard's 1st line really tough.

It's a shame that anyone had to lose that hockey game and as a fan, just one of those games that you were proud to be a part of - glad I paid $10 for the BTN+ Web feed for one game. It was worth it!

Not to unearth old skeletons, but does anyone recall the last time these two teams played to a 4-3 OT final?

Best of luck to Minnesota the rest of the way. That is a team whose best hockey is yet to come!

A little selective memory about November 6, 2015. Nice win though. hopefully it will help all of the ECAC tourney contenders come March.

I also felt like MN had the better of the play for much of the game (not by much) with seemingly more offensive zone possession time. They had a few very good chances that looked like they were going to be goals. I would like to see a shot chart, in that it seemed MN had the edge for shots close in.

As for your second point, No Comment. (I was tempted to track down Grant Bishoff after the game to see if he was having flashbacks.)

I thought passive aggressive was our deal? :D

I can still name everyone at the party I was at with that night watching the game. "PING!" :mad:
