Congratulations to Notre Dame. After UNH outshot you by quite a few during much of the first period,
you adapted, bottled the Wildcats up in the neutral zone and forced them to play dump-and-chase (not their strong suit). Good luck in the Frozen Four.

Well, UNH loses - no surprises there.

Rather be an NU fan when you know you'll never have a shot at the Frozen Four so you can't ever be disappointed, I guess. It's easy when your team is consistently awful.

Congrats indeed. Perfect game plan by Jackson, instead of trying to out-skate UNH like Miami did, they hunkered down defensively and out worked UNH all night, outside that first 5-6 minutes. I'd say that first TV timeout couldn't have come at a better time for ND. UNH came out flying, I think the shots were 10-1 (unofficially on the scoreboard) at one point (maybe the 1 was the goal, maybe the goal was the 2nd shot, can't remember), and after the TV timeout, ND settled down, got their goal, and took over the game in every way. Hoping to see ND take their first NC, good luck Irish!

Couldn't wait for this exact comment. Yup. It is easier to just accept it'll never happen. But hey, being a Northeastern fan is easier than being a Redskins fan...I think.

I think everybody at this point is a likely lamb to the Sioux slaughter. From the games I have seen this year, I thought Denver and BC were the 2 that had the talent to knock these guys out. I just don't see the talent anywhere, it is single elimination so anything can happen, but right now the Sioux look near impossible to beat.
