NCAA Tournament Games

Clarkson played one of its best periods of the year in the first period. Lots of energy and kept the puck in the Wisconsin zone for much of the period. Unfortunately they could not generate a score as has been the case in the last 12 games against playoff caliber teams. Wheeler makes a great move around the Clarkson d, gets Zeglen to slightly pull off the post and then shoots the puck it looked to me off Zeglen's back and into the net. Outshoot your opponent and be either tied or losing as they were after one. Period 2 Wisconsin came out a different team and dominated play as I thought they would for the entire game. They convert on the PP, Clarkson does not. Third period too little too late. Clarkson gets their one goal. I have to give a lot of credit to Zeglen. She was outstanding and made some terrific saves including stopping one breakaway. I would love to see a stat sheet that shows the amount of time each player played. It seemed to me David, Lonergan, McQuigge, Goodwin, Winn and Gosling were on the ice for 3/4 of the game, especially in the third period. I plan on watching the game against Northeastern. Should be a great game.

Wheeler has a bit of a chippy streak.

Usually UW plays a clean game, I don't know if Clarkson was trying to push their buttons to try and get pp time. I think they let too much go in the first period, which is the only period I have seen so far in it's entirety. It did have an increased level of intensity.

There were Hockey East refs, unsurprisingly. But at least one of the two is a very exerienced ref, was at the Olympics in Beijing, etc.

FWIW

I don’t know the scores but my guesses:

Yale wins
OSU wins
NU wins
Minnesota wins. This one might take OT. I’m counting on Minn being shaken up by squandering the last game, and UMD being pumped up by dispatching Harvard.

I'd say the same of Winn. Clarkson does not play a clean game lol. Though it's more being sloppy and having their sticks in position to commit tripping fouls or too much body contact than it is being physical or dirty. I felt that was kind of where Wisconsin went, it wasn't so much the physicality but them taking tripping calls and sloppy penalties that seem uncharacteristic of them.

I'm feeling Yale getting revenge too.
 
I did a 3 Stars Post on the Quinnipiac/Syracuse Game. If anyone has an interest, it's on the Ohio State (Host School) thread.

Good question, and I have no good answer.

I looked to see what was available from last year (I'm a full access subscriber), and neither the WCHA final four games nor any of the NCAA games are there. But last year was so weird with all NCAAs being played in the COVID bubble, etc., who knows if it is meaningful to look now. And NCAA final four was on ESPNU anyway.

Maybe the best 'plan' is to save away the URLs and then try them afterwards to see if they're blocked or available.

Syracuse vs Quinnipiac:

Harvard vs UMD:

I was able to click back through moments in the Syracuse game and could have rewatched the whole thing, but this was an hour or so after it ended and I still had the URL open, so agreed in that keeping the URLs seems like the best bet.

She was great. I'd say she was tested more than Blair was.

Yeah she was fantastic in a brutal situation. Played in only 4 games all year, one of those for a period and change in a 8-1 win over Brown. Only 60 minutes last season, and only 4 games and a period worth the season before that. Played probably the best game of her career in the biggest game of her career.

Her game log

2021-2022
Sacred Heart
RPI
Brown (23:46)
Quinnipiac (ECAC QF, due to starter injury)

2020-2021
Colgate (33:36, starter pulled)
SLU (26:52, 8-1 win)

2019-2020
SU
UMD
RMU
RMU (23;09, 6-5 win, don't remember what happened in that one)
RPI
Brown

So she had really never faced a team on Wisconsin's level at Clarkson until yesterday.

URLs for Saturday (I think):

Duluth vs Minnesota:
https://www.bigtenplus.com/en-int/playerpage/1287287

Quinnipiac vs Ohio St:

Wisconsin vs Northeastern (unless they change the 'tbd' in the URL):
https://www.collegesportslive.com/v...bd-at-northeastern-ncaa-quarterfinals-031222/

There is no 'obvious' URL available for Yale-Colgate yet, but it will be available at this page at some point, in the upper left of the screen:

While BTN+ generally annoys me on principle and I think navigating their steaming packages is a pain, them having a 10s back / forward button is SO nice. (ESPN+ has it also). Trying to click through the progress bar on CollegeSportsLive is the worst. Will you end up before the game? Will it not move at all? No one knows!
 
Nobody's talking about the biggest play in the Wisconsin Clarkson game where the Clarkson goalie threw her stick at the puck to keep it out of the net which is obviously a penalty and a penalty shot. It's clear as day

You may be a nobody Timothy, but you are the forum's nobody. Wear it proud!

I know the announcers described it that way, But I wasn't sure how 'blatant' the intent needed to be for it to warrant a call. See the prior 'flailing' and 'control of stick' discussion. It could be just as easily argued that she was flailing for the puck and just lost control of her stick, no 'intent' to throw it.

She clearly did that with intent. It was just not a random thing that happened to do some contact or movement.
